October 2019:
With registration complete, it was about that time to get the transmission fixed, considering that it will be driven more.
I brought it in to a local transmission shop, in hopes to get a new transmission put in. The day after driving it in the shop, the tech notified on some of the repairs they have made to address the transmission issue.
Turns out, the throttle valve cable was so loose, it was hard to tell if it was an internal transmission issue or not. Furthermore, they claimed that the neutral safety switch wires were exposed from its insulation housing that rubbed raw from the front of the transmission. It was a bittersweet moment to know that I didn't have to spend 6k for a bulletproof transmission, but after they replaced that plus a full transmission fluid flush, the truck shifted well!
I wish I had done more research about these trucks' nuances, but i've learned either away.
Separately, these came in!
5x Cooper Discoverer STT Pro in 315/70/R17 Load Range E
So did these:
AEV HD Salta's 17" Rim
I plan to have them mounted at a shop and do the balancing myself. I personally like the sleek look of not having wheel weights taped into the rims.
