My understanding is this transmission is factory original to this truck. How can I learn what transmission (name/model) is in my truck? Does the transmission have this information stamped on it somewhere?

There might also be a date casting code on the case? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 5,096 Crusing in the Passing Lane | | Crusing in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 5,096 | Are the top 2 gears synchronized?

If yes, then they're not synchro'd.

I think gears 2 and 3 are sorta synchronized. Manual didn't give any name for transmission or model numbers. ray | | |
