I notice in the winter the MPG is way lower then summer So much so I was wondering if full synthetic oil for differentials , transmission would help, I have it in motor now and on a Zero degree days it starts very easy



But looks interesting to warm up the trans fluid.
I thought there is already a trans pipe in the radiator so summer is cooler and winter warmed to radiator temp.

So here is the fix I'm gonna try, the actuator I figure is still a working component .
I need a air tight nipple to reattach . I have a plastic nipple one side fits the rubber hose , & other side is reduced in size . I may have to ream out the metal hole a bit and nip off some of the plastic of hose connector . Once I fit plastic into hole I'll try some epoxy product at area to mend.
Once dry, I'll put rubber hose boot back ,
then test it . If it works I'll take some silicon sealant and neatly glop some over the whole area .
As long as vacuum it sealed should work.

I met a service station man today who gave me the part for free.
It's used

he had it from a customer who ask him to fix truck but was not the issue any way cust said keep the old part
now I have it , tested ok .
