Think I might do some cleaning on my engine bay on the back half of my lunch break

Cleaned the engine bay and blew out my interior. Blew the dust out of the carpet and man was there a lot of it

I bought 4 purolator filters for my rams, they were 75 cents each at walmart. I've never used them before, but for the price who can argue!

Also got the flatbed inspected yesterday, she passed! Good thing I added the license plate light!

I noticed I must have the "wild Vent" issue on the Flatbed ac is good though so a little wildness isn't too bad or I'd freeze!

Going to tackle both speed sensors here in a while, any tips?

Changed out both speed sensors, Engine light is gone for P0720.

The ABS and Brake light went off for half a mile then came back on, when I restarted and drove home it did the same thing.

Any Ideas? Wiring? what else controls those lights?

Finishing up my exhaust and I'm stuck on what muffler I want to run. Got it narrowed down to a 14" magnaflow or a black widow venom 250

Could be front sensors as well or even dirty diff fluid can cause it. It is a 99+ right?

doing some more research for AT transmissions. i think some of my internal seals are hardnend to the point where my 46rh can't carry the hydraulic pressure it needs for reverse.

nope because last friday it went into reverse with no problems. that's why i'm thinking the seals. because the transmission acts like it has a little pressure. it will ever so slighty move in reverse then stop. either seals or a clogged internals from when it was sitting. i'm afraid to go have it flushed because of the fear of my 46rh slipping. drive, 1&2 work fine. that's why i'm kinda iffy about the valve body. i'm thinking though with the slow shift of these older auto trans. and the jerk while shifting only happens a couple of times a week. that there could be some gunk build up related issue in my trans. or the seals could start to be going out. either way shops want 2 grand or more for a rebuild which is some grade A ********. so only logical thing to do is go with that monster transmission with a shift kit, deeper pan, and a bigger cooler. that alone costs about 2 grand. i'd pay a little extra to know i can go the next mile and not have some factory auto trans **** up.
