well that was easy lol

One these trucks if the turn signal filament burns out (or the connection is somehow broken or shorted), the other ones will not flash, and either will the dashboard arrow. This is a good way to tell if the bulbs are all working.

New transmission doesn't imply a new TCU. Try unplugging it and see if it drivea better. Also check fluid level and condition

What size are the plugs for a 231 t case.

And put seafoam through the booster, smoke came from under the manifold, crack in header?

Got a 99 with 4-5" lift on it. I put a 4° shim on it when I lifted it (plan on getting an SYE at some point, idk when). Pinion bearing blow up on it within 2 months after I did so I swapped in another 8.25 (old one had 205k on it and pudding for gear dope thanks to PO). Anyways I've got a slight noise coming from the rear when I let off the gas. It sounded the same with the old axle. The one I swapped in maybe has 100k on it.

Does it cause wear on it without an SYE causing it to burn out?
Do I need to take it out?
Or maybe since its shimmed add more gear oil to it since it might not be getting to the bearing now?

I am in the exact same process. I put in a 6* shim, because I had a set laying around. I think the 6 is too much. Going to put in a 4* this weekend, but I am hoping it doesn't blow out my pinion bearing like it did on yours. There is no clunk noise or anything on mine - just some vibs between 45-55 MPH...or when the Torque Converter locks up and I'm at lower rpm's

Sounds like your shift solenoids are bad. Mine did the same thing. If I manually moved the shifter it shifted through the gears just fine, but would not shift on it own when in OD. 3 solenoids later and she shifts like a dream. There is a great writeup on here explaining the symptoms and how to replace.
