    Here are the pics and vids if anyone missed it. Thought id start a new "completed" thread so a few more would see it. http://www.ls1truck.com/forums/lsx-t...tml#post368933
    We got the trans running good and besides the 1-2 shift issue it has no problems but my check engine light came back on. Its a code for the pressure manifold switch. I dunno what it is now. I cleared it and if it comes back I will investigate further. I guess if there is still a problem with the pressure manifold switch then it could be the culprit for my 1-2 shift issue. Besides that it drives fine so I almost want to ignore it. One weird thing I noticed tho, after I cleared the code I didnt have my hot starting issue anymore. Atleast, not for the next 3 times I started it hot. Probably unrelated but time will tell.

    We hooked up the cruise control and it didnt work. I realized why a couple days later. We tapped into the brake signal wire to show the TAC when the brakes were applied. Well, apparently the TAC needs to see the resistance from the light bulb before it will act properly. I have an LED bar for tailights so it saw no resistance. I will wire in a bulb and socket before the bar and then it should work.

    BTW, I got this "hot starting problem" on video today.
    The first time it barely catches itself and continues idling.

    The second time it dies like normal and I have to restart it.

    BTW, the tach was not shot on purpose it just happened to be in front of the camera when I was shooting. If it helps yall then good.
    Any ideas? Someone else said tune needed adjusted.
