Swapped in the new master cylinder and self bled the brakes with a Mt. Dew bottle. Worked awesome. Truck stops on a dime now. Got home then my phone started blowing up with msgs from FB marketplace. A couple hours later I toss a set of seats into my truck and head 6 miles down the road. The motor revs to the moon and won't shift, it does this sometimes when it's cold. I pull it down a gear and upshift and it slams into gear. I'm thinking "ok, it's low on fluid". I made my delivery while manually shifting the whole way but it won't go into 3rd. So I stop and grab a gallon, pull the dipstick and it breaks off in my hand. I was able to catch it before it went down the tube though. So now I have no idea how much is in the tranny. I just dump 2qts in and head home. Same thing won't shift. I pull over and dump in another quart, circle around a parking lot and same thing. Then it dons on me, the vacuum actuator on the transmission. I get under the truck and sure enough!

So now I start scrambling around the truck. I know I have hose in there somewhere. Found some that was a little too small for the actuator (why do they make the actuator nipple and the steel line different sizes? Stupid engineers) and it's 2ft long. Well since I broke my knife I didn't bring it with me but a plastic knife kinda works if you go real fast! Got it buttoned up and shifting right. Now I have to drain some fluid out of the tranny lol
