I just got a '96 psd. Still have the 90 idi, but went for something with some niceties for my family like head rests, a headliner, a/c ect.
I have a couple of questions for you guys.
First, the automatic transmission just shift weird compared to my manual idi. Slips every once in a while with a load when overdrive is on. I'm wondering if a chip would help the shifting. Flushed the trans and added lube guard and it still shifts weird. I'm really am not going to try to turn this into some coal rolling beast, just want it to tow my camper and boat and get over the mountains over and over. Truck has 230k and supposedly a heavy built transmission that does shift pretty well. Looking for suggestions on tuners, and thinking it would probably be safest to hook up an egt.
Second, the a/c smells like a wet dog. I pried open the top of the evaporator (plastic box next to the fan with the cold radiator in it) and sprayed it with alcohol and the smell went away for a couple of weeks, but is creeping back. Is there a drain hole in the bottom of this box?
Thanks,
Tim
