THE SHIFT LEVER POSITION INDICATOR LOCATED IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER DOES NOT ILLUMINATE THEREFORE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT GEAR THE VEHICLE IS IN. IT SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME. IT OCCURS WHEN I START THE VEHICLE, AM MOVING AND WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON.

AT 80K I PUT MY TRUCK IN REVERSE AND HEARD A CLUNK SOUND AND IMMEDIATELY IT WOULDN'T SHIFT GEARS ANYMORE. I WENT AND HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT WHICH LASTED ROUGHLY 10K MORE. NOW, THE TRUCK WON'T SHIFT YET AGAIN AND THE FILTER WAS CHANGED AND THE REAR OUTPUT SEAL. CURRENTLY, WHEN I DRIVE SINCE ITS MY ONLY VEHICLE, ONE MINUTE IT WILL SHIFT FINE BUT AFTER I TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND ON AGAIN, IT WILL NOT SHIFT FROM FIRST AND THE AGAIN, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON!

WHILE FUELING THERE SEEMS TO BE A BACKLASH AIR BUBBLE THAT OCCURS AND IT TAKES APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES TO PUT $30 WORTH OF FUEL. WHILE PUMPING THE GAS NO MATTER HOW SLOW OR FAST AS THE SAFETY IS IN PLACE TO STOP THE FUEL FROM COMING OUT OF THE FUEL NECK WHERE IT MEETS THE FUEL GOING IN THIS IS NORMAL TO KICK OFF THE FUEL SO SPILLAGE DOES NOT BECOME A PROBLEM HOWEVER WHEN YOU STOP FUELING THERE IS A BURP BACK AS IN A AIR BUBBLE THAT SPLASHES OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY SPLASH IN A FACE OR ON YOUR SKIN AND IT ALSO RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE AGAIN THAT IS WHEN FUELING HAS STOPPED IT BURPS THE FUEL OUT OF THE VEHICLE. OBVIOUSLY THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY WHILE FUELING. THIS OCCURS NO MATTER WHAT GAS STATION IS USED OLD NEW IT DOESN'T MATTER.

DRIVING DOWN COUNTY RD STOPPED AT STOP SIGN. STARTED TO TAKE OFF IT STARTED SLIPPING THEN QUIT PULLING COMPLETLY.PUET IT IN ALL DRIVES 1,2,3, & D NOTHING HAPPENED CUT ENGINE OFF PUT IT IN DRIVE IT STARTED OUT LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED FOR SHORT DISTANCE THEN SAME THING AGAIN.
