This is a good thread, but your shop/garage is the cleanest of any of them I have seen.

Good Job!!!

Seems I always get comments on the garage when I do these write-ups. The floor does get cleaned/mopped regularly. Its where the dog stays during the day and he leaves a mess I don't want to lay in

Wish thats all I left to do!

The fine folks at HPTuners did a segment swap on my file. No additional credits required.

Step by step of the Trango Install:

Step 1
Drill a hole. EDIT: THIS HOLE IS TO SMALL. CORRECTED LATER IN THREAD.

Step 2.
Remove a valve and place some springs and new end cap. Both springs lightest shift. Outer spring only firmer shift, inner spring only firmest shift. I'm going light this time around.

Step 3:
Remove filter and plug. Remove the o-ring from the filter. Install a tapered plug, the filter and orange spring. Directions say to grind some off the filter if it all doesn't fit. I may be doing that after looking at it again tomorrow. It doesn't fit.

Contact bill@hptuners. He should be able to help with the tune.

The 2500HD yoke isn't an option for me without swapping the output shaft of the transfer case. 32 spline I am assuming. Mine is 27 I think.
