Re: My New 03 1500HD

nice truck build. They will last. I have a gasser wit 275K on it

I have an 04 non HD 2500 4 door 4wd that I regularly beat the snot out of every day.
70 on the freeway is the sweet spot for the best gas mileage however.

If you ever get the slip and bump while trying to take off from a stop, as if it's in 2nd gear, there's a valve fix for it in the valve body for the trans.

For the exhaust drone, . . . here's your fix

Thanks for the read and the suggestions! The link you supplied is something I found a few years ago, but I just don't want to go through the trouble of making a 24 or so inch ling 4 inch round j tube to hang off the exhaust. If it was physically shorter and I didn't have any other projects on my plate I would probably tackle it, but ever since the shell was installed it quieted way way down. What is the valve body mod you speak of?

Thanks again

this is the kit that I used. It fixed my wrong gear starts. If I was sitting at a stand still stop or a rolling quick stop, if I tried taking off, the trans would be in another gear besides 1st gear. This kit fixed the "hunt for 1st gear" issue that I was having. It was always at random, never at the same times or conditions.

I also have the TransGoHD2 kit. All kinds of fun to have any gear selection at any RPM.

I've done a few cam swaps in it over the years along with a LS3/L92 top end (heads and intake) and it made a huge difference in power.
