stick length or throw?

 

Length 😏. Its not bad my hand rests on it well and it's still comfortable in every gear. My only complaint is that with a tall boy in the driver side cupholder the stick is close enough in second gear it makes it mildly difficult to get the tall boy to my mouth and back before I need to shift to third.

I'll get some pictures of it compared to my stock RCSB shifter.

 

That's unacceptable. Maybe heat the stick up and bend it slightly to give more clearance? Can't have anything interfering with the beverages.

 

Ehhh to much work. I just put them in the passenger side cup holder, chug before driving or put a 40oz between my legs.

 

yeah, i didn't care for how it kisses the console lid in 4th... but it's chrome plated, so you heat & bend it, your finish is done.
i just wrenched it down with all the forward tilt play i could get from the two mounting bolts.

 

Mine actually doesn't hit at all. It's got at least an inch between the console lid in 4th. So strange every NV4500/3500 I've seen in person is slightly different in shifting, clutch feel and noise level.

 

Had P0327 pop up on me a few weeks ago. Also identified the passenger valve cover as the culprit of my hefty oil loss. I would lose about a quart every 800 miles. No smoke from exhaust but oil running down the back of the passenger head.

Replaced knock sensors and harness while also making a good seal around them with black RTV. Replaced the valve cover gaskets and threw on a nicely powder coated set of valve covers and ICT coil brackets. Nothing fancy just a tad more bling than before.

 

Looks good man. I need to replace
my knock sensors, after pressure washing my 6.0 I started getting a code for bank 1 knock sensor.

 

Did that with my RCSB years ago. The RTV trick really helped after that. I think 4 years of mud, sand and water yet they looked brand new when I pulled the 4.8.

 

Been doing a few little things here and there and the trucks been great until today. Down shifted to third to pass a semi truck and at about 80 I let off and went to slip it in 5th. Well the clutch pedal flopped to the floor completely lifeless. Pulled over and found the clutch master rod completely flopped out of the pedal. Turn out the PO put a nylon spacer in the socket where the rod attaches to try and make shifting easier. Well the rod couldn't attach correctly with the spacer there so it finally flopped out. Was able to slam it back together and limp home but it was nearly impossible to shift with the spacer not there anymore.

*****Edit: I'm pretty sure when I picked this thing up Axekick told me about the spacer and said one time the rod popped out on him but it was an easy fix, which it is. Not trying to throw blame on anyone******

luckily I already had a new master rod at home that I had extended 3/8" which is exactly what the nylon spacer was in thickness. Got the new rod back together and the pedal feels as it did before. Gonna have the old rod extended about 3/4" and I think it will shift like a dream.

Also had some custom audio done with backup and dash cams.

On top of the audio T-rev motorsports sold me some color matched handles which looks great and I found a HD hood. Just need to lower the bumper to fit the grille.
