Well, I started on the 93 and figured might as well drop the pan and have a look. good news is there is absolutly no debris in the pan, but the fluid is quite dark. what do yall guys think...

before messing with my 93, I spent most of the day messing around with the Ole'Betsey the dodge ram. brought it in my work area and pulled off the throttle body. cleaned it up real good. then gave everything a good looksee. it needs quite a few parts. all of the hoses need replacing. the lower rad hose is rock hard. the radiator needs flushing as there is somekind of yellowish green growth on the inside of the cap. started cleaning her up. my boys helped me give her a good bath, then I pulled out the buffer and went to town on the red center stripe that was mostly pink now.
she looks good now with some lipstick... I am thinking about doing some gloss black rattle can to give the hood and roof a better look
Here is the before and after shots.

That’s not a bad color, but your toenails are another story.

I replaced both the 1-2 shift and the TCC solenoids. the ones in there were not delco units looking at them the markings were different. I also noticed that the 3-4 solenoid is kinda loose on it's bracket. I think I will most likely order that one and the sensor plate that lives under the filter. poured the old fluid back into the trans so I can at least test if replacing the tcc solenoid fixed the problem of it not releasing.
while I was pouring the fluid back in, I noticed a leak!!! O-crap.. crawled back under the truck and found that the dipstick has a hole in it right behind the engine plus it's loose not secured to the back of the head. welp I bet the tab that's spot welded to the tube came off and now has a hole were it was spot welded. Great, grand, wonderful LOL
I guess I will add that to the list of repairs when I finish the other engine and when this one gets pulled. it didn't leak a lot, so I'm not pulling it out right now.
That pic I posted doesn't do justice as to how dark the fluid is. while I was pouring it back in it looked like used motor oil, you cant see through it.
I will make plans to change the fluid, though idk how to get what's in the converter out too. maybe when I pull the engine I can pull the converter and dump it and refill then.
