:o: I was driving with my foot on the brake trying to get my EGTs up because I'm having a weird gauge problem and they don't get up high enough to see the problem unless I'm going over 80 with my foot in it. So anyway I was riding the brake and had the accelerator to the floor trying to get the EGTs up when the truck jerked real hard all of a sudden, the CEL came on and I was stuck in 3rd gear. When I got home I plugged in my EFI Live and pulled a 0700 and 0732 for incorrect 2nd gear. I guess I slipped 2nd. Good think my transmission fund is full, and I'm ready to order parts. :ro)

I have beat the piss out of this trans and it took doing something incredibly stupid to limp it. You guys should be fine.

Yeah, I think the 6 speed is a little stronger from the factory.

BTW what do you do in the AF?
