    Swamped truck.Water in tranny.

    You might try to take the top transmission line loose at the radiator and stick the line in a empty jug. Start the truck for a few seconds and then shut the engine off. It will pump out a couple of quarts of old fluid into the jug. Then add 2 or 3 quarts of new fluid to the transmission. Repeat...

    Tune or gear swap.

    Has anyone here switched from 3.42 to 3.73? If so how much of difference did it make?

    Tune or gear swap.

    Which is a better bang for the buck if you had to choose just one. A Black Bear tune or a switch to 3.73 from 3.42.

    New to the forum and I need help

    You will still need to recalibrate the pcm so the speedo will read right and the transmission will shift right. Black Bear is a sponsor here and can recalibrate the pcm as well as retune the engine and transmission performance if you want. Another option is to use the pcm out of another 97 that...
