Default just installed TRANSGO HD-2...quick question

First off, I have to give a big kudos to Chuck from Finsh Line. He set me up with the kit along with the Sonnex servo's. I could have probably saved a buck or two getting them off Ebay, but Chuck stepped up and predrilled the wholes in the seperator plate for me, revised the instructions, and even pulled out the parts I didn't need so I wouldn't screw it up. The when I didn't call him a week or two later, he gave me a buzz just to follow up. Great service.

Now for my question. Is it normal for the truck to die when I tried to start it the first time after doing a kit ike this? I was thinking that maybe since there was no fluid in the valve body that could be the problem. After about 6 tries it finally started and ran fine.

Oh, and my truck runs like a raped ape now. Hands down the best shift kit I've ever dealt with.

Did you have the battery disconnected?,then yes it would do that because the idle control solinoid has to re-learn
