MoonX5 is on a distinguished road
Pulled the transmission on the black one today to send the torque converter out for rebuild to fix the annoying P0741 code. I think I'll go ahead and go through the transmission while it's out (I own a transmission shop), upgrade to the HD "A" clutch drum, replace the "F" clutch piston, freshen the clutches, and make the necessary valve body mods. It shifted great, but at 161K, and with the transmission sitting there waiting on the converter, it only makes sense to tear it down and freshen it up.

I also replaced the rear air springs with Arnotts today. A pretty trivial job, but it will be nice to not have the LR bleed down every night. With the load off of the rear suspension, I was able to check the rear suspension for the usual wear and tear. Sure enough, upper and lower ball joints were loose on both sides. New parts ordered, and should be here by the time I get back from SEMA.
