Hello this is my first post. Problems in the title. Just getting really crappy gas mileage. Let's start by saying I'm running 285 75 16s on stock 3.55 gears. So I'm not sure if this is a transmission issue. I bought the truck last winter as a unrunning vehicle. Fixed it up. Through some tires on it. Flushed all the fluids. Etc. now while I was changing the fluid and filter on the transmission everything has play both the solonoids (if that's what's there called) and both of the servo arms? Also there was a solid inch of metallic mush around the magnetic filter was clogged fluid was black. After the new fluid and filter she shifted perfect better and better the more I run her. She did however start feeling like she was going to stall when down shifting or braking. Almost like she doesn't want to dissenguage first gear. First gear seems a little rough. Reverse use to wine before the new fluid and filter she was also very sluggish. I think she shifts into fourth 2nd third are hard shifts and fourth is very light. My OD light/switch doesn't work or light up. Buttons broken. The only other thing I can think to mention is while driving no matter what speed if I let off the gas the rpms drop right down to bellow 1 (idle). In my other vehicles it stays up depending on the gear. Think I should of mentioned this before but it's a 46re thanks for any help guys.
