   RW> Synthetics are made to go the extra mile, if you know what I mean.   
       
   Yeah, but I no longer am.  (-:   
       
   RW> Both of those have the 4L60 automatics. They're told to shift by the   
   RW> computer, rather than engine vacuum. The computer has a been programmed   
   RW> with all kinds of 'look ups' for it to reference; such as air fuel ratios   
   RW> at certain levels of sensor input.   
       
   The "Burb" is kinda rough shifting from D1 to D2, but I found a way to defeat   
   that by easing up on the accelerator at just the right time, which, I suppose,   
   makes me a better computer than the one in the "Burb".   
       
   RW>RN> Vastly different than the '84 Chevy PU I had, which drove and rode   
   RW>RN> like a truck.   
       
   RW> Neither of the above could be considered a truck. They're more like hard   
   RW> work capable, smooth riding SUVs. And gas guzzlers to the mileage freaks.   
   RW> I'm in the market for one of those.   
       
   Those vehicles ride like they have air suspension.  My Mark VIII was like that   
   before I converted it to spring struts.  That was one of the dumbest things   
   I've done.
