Driving report:
After I topped off the trans with 50 weight motor oil like Charlie said to I went out for a deliberate test drive.
I find that it would be nice to be able to go into 3rd under during acceleration. It's nice to have 2nd over for building speed but the jump between 2nd over and 3rd over is too high to be convenient. I'd like to be able to go from 2nd over to 3rd under. I'll see what Cosmo has for recommendations/pictures for the switch setup.
The only issue that I see right now is that I don't seem to get the free wheel function at speed when the overdrive is engaged. With the OD in the on position and I'm driving in 1st gear the free wheel works. If I let off the gas is just coasts at idle. When I get into 2nd or 3rd with the overdrive engaged the free wheel doesn't work. Going down hill the truck will roll along but the RPMs stay steady at speed. I thought they would drop to idle until I got back in the gas to pick up speed again. Is this normal or a problem. It doesn't really affect the driveability, its just a feature that I thought would work.
Anyway, very happy with the set up. Makes for an entirely different driving experience. Lots of fun.
