On my truck, I was not given the correct rods, that has confused me, also if look on page 12-4 of the shop manual they show only two rods, however if you look on page 7-1 of the factory assembly manual it shows 1 long rod and then two rods for 2nd and 3rd.
Thanks in advance of advice.

I made my own rods using heim joints and threaded the rods, it's a good 8 hour day to dial it in but it shifts as new. Now if you are going for 1000 pt restoration, you need to find that 'neighbor'.
