LOL, I love my Thorsons, as well as my S-K, Armstrong, Blue-Point, and many other formerly US made tools........

Does that make us tool ******?

Well, the transmission guy is MIA and my truck still isn't done. Been there over 2 months now.

I love SK.. It's all I use and the paddle wrenches are beast!

Every tool has a purpose, years ago we were up in NH and my lift pump died. I was able to put a new lift pump in (Cummins engine down!) and bleed number 1 and 6 injector lines. Let me tell you.. all I had was evolv tools and I busted the ratched and slightly bent the cheap plastic handled crescent. Shameful especially when the tools were colored pink.

Well after January 20th won't all tools be made in the USA again?

Finally caught up with the guy that has my transmission. After seeing more things wrong he took it the rest of the way apart. Wrong parts, missing parts, damaged parts, worn out parts. Even if he had fixed the governor, it still wouldn't have worked. So, long story short my overhauled transmission will need to be overhauled again and a lot of hard parts replaced, not to mention the soft parts they damaged assembling it without fixing the bad stuff. I'm going to have him do the same deal he did on my 01 transmission, everything except billet shafts and a triple disc.

The transmission is finally going back together. The original overhaul shop sold me a V10 trans. Not only did he sell me a junk trans, he also sold me the wrong trans. So, a few more parts needed to get replaced. Fortunately the guy working on it now was able to get all the parts, most importantly the governor.

Glad to hear it!

Hooray, my 92 is back in my driveway. Today I take it to the hangar (my shop) and start the wiring. Went for a test drive with the transmission guy manually switching OD and LU in and out. I had no idea that truck had that much power, all previously lost through the torque converter. No wonder he was tickled to drive it and he has a 600hp Duramax. The build turned out to be a pain because it was a V10 in sad shape. It has parts from the V10 47RH, a diesel 47RH, and some parts from a 48RE. He didn't charge me for the good used parts he put in because he had so many laying around, and he likes me.

Glad to hear it is all coming together.
It is always a nice moment when you get to drive the old 1st Gen after it has been off the road for a bit.

Like a little kid getting that new toy they always wanted.

Wouldn't you know it. Down to just a few more wire and the speed sensor wiring harness extension Compushift sent me has one wrong end on it.

Made it through the last hurdle yesterday with the CompU, I hope. After the speed sensor harness, found out the TPS harness was wired backwards for the Cummins application. After fixing that I was able to complete the initial calibration. Now it's drive and tune. Also found out my transfer case linkage is messed up. Can't get into 4 low. So I gotta fix that.

How the CompU working and how do you have it set Ken

cougar

Still sitting in the hangar. I've been to busy to drive it yet, might get to it today or tomorrow unless something or someone else gets in my way.

Made a little progress on the 92 yesterday. Working on the setting in the CompU, this is not going to be easy. With the factory setting they say should work didn't. No OD and no LU. Finally got both to come one, but not even close to the right parameters. Their manual could use some work, not complete or very clear on some things. Items in the settings menu aren't mentioned in the manual. Other reference settings can't be calibrated. It was nice to see the boost gauge go past 30. Was only able to top 22 before.
