What does the factory reccomend? What do you reccomend?


I would like slicker shifting, and I realize that this probably wont do it...Either way, at 16000 miles, seems like this may need to be changed like the rear diff...


Anyone done it with oil that costs 12 bucks/quart and seen improvements? http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif

The six speed has the expensive Transynd in it from the factory. I have tried several different oils and haven't found one that makes much difference.

Hmmm...Im having a hard time on the 5-6 shift. It just gets kinda hung up...


I cant imagine how you have to shift one of these things to get to 100+ in the quarter...Im guessing it isnt the smoothest trip down the strip...


Is yours driveable around town? Im having Predator issues...I just cant get a smooth useable tune from these folks...

Mine has about 1700 miles on it and it seems that everyonce in a while it gives a little grind when going into 4th and then again when going into 6th. Is that normal?
