Evening all,
Finally got around to removing and checking out the governer. To all that thought I was a little "off" thinking I had one with a removable cover you were right, I was wrong and request you consider my CRS is playing tricks on me. I thought for sure when I replaced the tranny a few years ago it had that type of governer. I did find that it had like a gunky stuff coming from the weights and the plunger/piston was a little sticky, weep hole clear on the plunger. Yes, I went ahead and changed the gear. The little that I got to check it it seemed to shift fine, best I can tell by looking at tach, when it shifts good it is usually so smooth you can't tell without the towd. Now after a short test run I found that the left front caliper hanging up, always trust your wife's sense of smell. They are already 80MM so I'll replace both, I bought the hoses a while back, guess it's a good time to change them too, I've read there is a possibility that the hose has an internal collapse and not letting the fluid release, I was able to pry the puck back. In the greater scheme of things pads and calipers are not that expensive. Also a good time to use the grease fittings and get some fresh grease in the hubs, 90% of the work will be already done. Just thought I would bring all you fellow GMCers that gave me suggestions and comments the update I promised.
