Couldn't believe it till it happened to me go figure https://youtu.be/v8KEzbJvqEE

Yes, I actually watched a video of a guy talking about it last night as I though to myself there's no frikking way...but it worked and it was hard to believe, in my defense the bolt was not rusty or cross threaded..

Removed broken starter bolt...https://youtu.be/5bqseeZ9Dl0 Finally I can call it a dependable truck again..the starter support bracket does not line up with the hole so I will have to find a suitable way to secure it

Removing the governor and cleaning it in diesel fixed my issues for anyone who has has similar problems with the transmission not starting in first gear from a stop. I hope someone can use this information to their benefit Score 1 for the home team....now to remove that pesky broken starter...

Well I been reading up and some people say the governer is the trans could be more along the lines of the issue.. the vrv from what I understand only controls the up shift points, which are fine, I appreciate your comments no doubt and it will go to the tranny shop if I can't figure it out in...

Let me.explain.....the vrv was replaced aboit a year ago...the result was normal shifting for a year instead if racing to gu4 d the next gear...it has no problems during the up shift part of driving..its when I stop it will not lock back in first gear unless I select it manually..i see little to...

If I manually shift it to first it will start in first after coming to a stop...if I leave in "d" it will act like a higher gear until I drip it to first manually

That's what I'm asking...does the vrv control the shift back to first when I'm stopped?

Ok but it was set for a year now...it upshifts fine it's dropping back to first gear when stopped is where the issues are

I replaced the short vacuum line the the modulator in the trans with no effect..i can feel vacuum at the vrv line ...same as when I replaced it the first time...

Does that also control the down shift? I replaced it less than a year ago because it would take forever to hit the next gear...i thought that was primarily for upshifting when it's supposed to?

I know right?

On my way to find the bracket i discovered that overnight my truck doesn't shift back to first gear at stoplights unless o do it manually.....so now I have 2 emergencies with the truck again....does anyone know why this would happen? The shifting selinoid is less than a year old and my vacuum...

Not any more I guess it got loose and fell out. I actually was able to rig a ratchet strap to secure the starter so I could get fuel for it that I've been tryi g to get for the last week...i know it's ghetto but the truck works at least till I can get the bolt extracted...anither fun job id...

Got the truck from the exhaust shop...brought it home...trued to start it, starter free spun so I looked under it and there's a broken bolt where there should not be that's supposed to hold it on...pretty much banging my head off the wall now...
