Thanks Morarx, usually for me the real fun part has always been putting them together. After there “done” I usually get bored with them in fairly short order..

I did the first real road test today. I drove out to my friends machine shop so I could get the speedometer calibrated and start dialing in the transmission controller. The truck did good, it goes down the road straight and is not quite as uncomfortable as I thought it would be. The engine temperature runs right at 190 degrees. By the time I drove out there and back and went to the gas station I’d put about 15 miles on it.

The 46RH was a good choice at 65 MPH it drops the engine from 3300 RPM to around 2200. I’ve still got some fine tuning to do with the kickdown cable and controller but that shouldn’t take too long.
