When you picked it up?

No. Could not get trans to shift. In car. So after messing with it at length I opted the cheetah valve body. But that was when the HD spring issue arose. Trans in car by then
Called Stan. No way to change that spring with trans in car.

A failed pump or even a failed sprang. But what I would do first is pull the front cover off the trans, check to make damn sure the converted bolts didn’t come loose and run it in park, see if that makes it sound louder or not. When the converter failed on my charger, removing the front cover made it much louder.

Then I’d drop the pan before pulling the trans. Check obvious , filter etc. if all that checks out, I’d call that Stan guy and see what his thoughts are

For sure dropping pan first. I bet pump failed. But who knows
 
Just read article about military trucks not having to comply with epa smog rules. No smog equipment. Reason? They need to be reliable. Get that.....so my truck does not? Bull sheet..
 
At the car show this morning. We were still a little early. Probably only about 200 cars there now but more coming all the time. Very few Mopars. Maybe 6 or 8. Somehow the camera failed on my phone so it didn't record any pics. Here's the only ones I have, from my wife's phone. Was there for about an hour and a half, then I took the girls to work. Still got to see everything though. Beautiful day!

Come on. Bolts hitting something won't cause Trans to not move. Think about it.... it's not that for sure

Oh I know. Only reason I say it is so that when you talk to the rebuilder that did the thing, it’s already ruled out. Experience says that seems to be the very first question I’ve been asked in the past

Uh not entirely accurate. They still have some smog restrictions but it’s a far cry from civilians

Took two others to right it.

Injuries were mostly superficial but possible TBI to the drivers, both their k-pots were cracked from hitting the roof of the truck. And the driver missed being speared in the face by a sign post by less than an inch

At least it's Hybrid to start... and 2050 is a long way off for full electric

How long will it take to fill up a truck with fuel compare to full recharge? A distinct military problem. And one an enemy might exploit.

A massive rechargeing station with your entire rolling stock sitting there for hours. And emitting EFI signature that is discoverable by satellite.

Agree. Without a significant bump in battery tech... and how many more generators are they going to have to buy???

By 2050 AI will be having the robots do the fighting anyhow...

Unless we get batteries to a third of their current weight, I don’t think full electric will ever happen. Hybrid, probably. Full no way. Weight is a very big problem.
 
Did a bit more body work.. 1 hour at a time :) my sister came over and helped me bleed the brakes and i don't know whats up but they are super spongy which i don't recall my old manual brakes being spongy, every part is brand new, lines and all...
