And....(LOL!) no 2nd gear. It's kind of funny really because in my old 17' U-Haul the shift to second only lasted about five seconds before I go to third. So I didn't really miss it until I discovered one day that it wasn't there any more. So, I guess it's time for a rebuild.
However, what I want to know is, can my gear ratios be changed? This ol' truck runs like a bat out of hell, but when I'm doing 65 or 70 it really winds up. And 2nd gear always seemed like a wasted gear even when it did work. 1st would get me up to about 25MPH and 2nd would only take me to about 30MPH before it went to third. Now that I'm going from 1st to 3rd I don't really even miss 2nd.
OR? I'd love to have lower R's when cruising down the road. My earplugs are wearing out. Suggestions? But remember, it IS a diesel. :)
Thank you!
