I know it is not the correct solution, but nothing worked and I just had enough. I ended up borrowing a truck to drag the Jeep to the Jeep festival again. The Jeep didn't do so well either. After many hours of crunch time getting the new drive train working correctly it just didn't work out. The 4L60E was not fully wired and apparently it doesn't work so well without powering all of the solenoids... who knew. I just brought home a TH350 so no need to deal with that anymore.

New truck news, I picked up a used 4" lift from a buddy for nuthin. I just need to get me some shocks. I also picked up a nice set of used 33's that will work better than the 35's.

I was working on rear brakes on my 81 K5 project and had a similar issue with the adjuster on the driver side and determined that the spring on the emergency brake cable had lost just enough strength and was hanging up to cause all my problems. It was definitely a frustrating time for me. Hope that helps. Thanks for the updates.
