Russell, I would strongly suggest that you remove your lower speedometer
cable ( inner and outer) inspect it very carefully, and lubricate it with
cable lube of your choosing. Insulate the lower part that passes near the
header, and loosely ty-wrap it away from the header. If it melts
internally, it will freeze up and strip out the governor gear.

Ray, You're right, the governor gear does not look bad at all. When I
pulled it, I started to second guess my original diagnosis. The tranny
would
not upshift out of first gear, and would even pop out of gear. The vacuum
hose on the modulator looked pretty rough, and was cracked, so I replaced
it as well. If I would have replaced the vacuum line first, I probably
didn't need the governor. Oh well, I certainly learned a lot along the way.
Life with a GMC....learn something new everyday. :)
