This is not a question more of fyi in case someone encounters the same issue. A bit ago I replaced the intake and valve cover gaskets on my '92 X. All went back together as planned but when I took the truck for a test drive it would use 1st and 2nd but then I would watch the revs climb and the speedo drop. I rechecked all wire and vacuum connections up top and all looked good. I then crawled under the truck with it running and could hear a very faint whistling. after some feeling around on the top and sides of the tranny I found a vacuum line than had somehow come disconnected when I was working top side. Plugged it back in and the truck runs is running perfect again. Hope this helps someone.
 






The vac line is for the vacuum modulator. It would keep your truck from shifting into 2nd gear normally.
