You know how slow I am. You'll probably beat me at getting a running truck.

One question though. Earlier in the thread you said you didn't know what ratio your rearend was. How did the transmission man set up your 700R4 speedo gears without knowing what ratio you're running ? The only reason I point this out is that it would be easier to deal with that issue now, rather than later when the trans is full of fluid and you're having to crawl under there and swap speedo gears to get it right.

Thanks for looking in. At the time of ordering the trans I wasn't sure what I had for a rear end so I had them put a speedo gear based on a 4:11 rear. Since then I discovered that the rear is a 3:73. The trans shop said they would swap me when I knew for sure what I had but I had forgot that until you mentioned it so thanks for saving me a hassle.
