    Cannot Manually Select 1st Gear

    To anyone who may find this post in the future or present. I finally got around to buying a OEM cable like @NickTransmissions said and it fixed my problem 100%. Learn from my lesson and don’t cheap out unless you like doing extra work

    Cannot Manually Select 1st Gear

    Shee-mar it’s the cheapest one you can buy on Rock Auto. I think I may have found out why it was cheap I suppose.

    Cannot Manually Select 1st Gear

    At this point I’m not wondering if I got a defective cable that somehow got stretched or messed up in someway before I received it. Right out of the packaging it had this issue. It feels like I have done everything under the sun to remedy this and I just can’t fix it. The cable seems like it...

    Cannot Manually Select 1st Gear

    Yes I am referring to manual low. I believe I bought the right cable I could only find listings for 118 Inches. The install seemed pretty straightforward and I’m fairly mechanically inclined so if I did anything wrong I must have missed it. And yes I can manually select every gear including...

    Frame Rust

    Awesome I love to hear that! I was planning on doing some sort of undercoating before winter hit. Thanks for the POR-15 recommendation I’ve seen so many undercoating options I got overwhelmed lol.

    Frame Rust

    Ok at least I can tell myself there is a little hope. I checked the rest of the truck specifically at the bends and where the steering box mounts and everything looks good. Thank you for the quick reply!

    Frame Rust

    Hey everyone this is my first post here sorry if it’s in the wrong spot. I picked up a 97 K1500 from my brother who left state. Overall an awesome truck but I found this spot on the frame. I’m in Iowa so this isn’t a surprise and I’ve seen way worse on the road. I paid next to nothing for...
