    4 wheel low and 4 wheel drive ??

    Just installed b&m shift improver for my 4r44e

    I put one in my 96 last weekend. A very noticable difference to me. In postition 2 it now shifts like it should, no racing between gears any more.

    rear end violent clunks around corner

    Bad Oil

    Is it still water free after a few hundred miles?? And NO oil in coolent? If so, you may have lucked out and had the oil contaminated when the intake gaskets were changed.. Like others stated, check it every time you get ready to start the truck.
