    275/60 or 295/55 rear tire (lowered)

    Th350 issues

    Transmission was rebuilt about 8-9 years ago.. It has maybe 6,000 miles on that rebuild. First issue I'm having with the trans is that it's slipping cold. I'm guessing fluid drain back? How do I eliminate this slipping? Next issue I was letting my truck idle before I took it down the road. I...
