I'm Awesome
Went down and cleaned my shop up a bit before work and drove the dirt road way in the gmc. I’ve got close to 30miles on it so far with no issues, I think that warrants getting a spare set of keys made.
Anyway decided I’d see how bad this 4l80 first gear is and it impressed me! 1st gear and foot brake and it had no issues activating the g80 and digging two holes. I honestly expected it to just make noise and heat up the torque converter. Especially with half the gas in the tank being 5 years old. The G80 impressed me too, both tires spun from the get go and didn’t let up until I did. Much better than the G80 in my Tahoe which works about as often as people in my generation. (Not often)
However somewhere between the hole digging and some rough spots on the dirt road (which I just added to). The interior door handle rod jumped out of its plastic retainer rendering the interior driver handle useless. Guess my rod bending trick wasn’t enough and I’ll have to buy new plastic retainer thingys.
