You don't have to bash a company, but really, you should say so. Not to trash them, but as to help out fellow members here. That's what we do here. We try to have each other's back and if we had a bad experience, then at least share a bit of it, so we know to use caution or make our own choice as to if we will purchase there or not. I know @crazy4offroad had a very bad experience at Randy's Ring and Pinion, so I used caution, ordered a part from them, didn't have a problem but I damn sure I was getting the correct **** so I didn't have to go through what he did. I have not had any bad experiences with transmissionpartsUSA.com. Maybe I've been lucky so far.Well I'm not going to confirm or deny that. I don't like bashing companies on forums as I do I realize that this may be an isolated case. I was otherwise impressed with the parts I received, and he is trying to make it right. I just don't understand how this kind of thing could happen. Once again there should be a package arriving today with new intermediate frictions. Hopefully there is nothing wrong with them and my wife can go ahead and get them soaking for me.
Oh well. No biggie. As long as the truck works when this is all over with I'll be happy.

I know of many parts I won't buy from LMC, but some I will by reviews and feedback I've gotten here.
Also, it seems they admitted their screw up and at least making an attempt to make it right. No company is perfect, so I'd like to know what company will at least make an attempt to make it right if they do screw up. IMO, that's a good thing, so I don't take that as bashing a company at all. That's a company stepping up when they fugg up.
So I turned in the modulator about 1.5 turns, which helped firm up the shifts a touch and brought the shift points up too. I still have the 1-2 shift lag problem at WoT, but it only happens at WoT from a standstill. The truck does not like to go down into 1 almost any other time, so it does not really bother me too much. Pretty much only matters if I'm drag racing. Which I don't do lol. All other shifts are PERFECT!!!
I did pick up a nasty driveline vibration at 65mph+. I'm thinking I may not have got the carrier bearing on the driveshaft where it wants to be. So I still need to look into that. Below 65 its not too bad.
