idleing in neutral
In the mornings when I warm up my truck I idle it up to 1200 and have the transmission in neutral is this hard on the trans. Should I have the truck in park???

Nope, just make sure it can't move and your parking brake works REAL good. I've been told by folks on this site and tranny shop that the fluid is not being pumped in park. I routinely use nuetral and 1200 for my morning warmups. Makes for a happier tranny.

It's a safety issue only. In park there is no fuild movement. I'm not sure why you need to have the fluid moving, but it won't hurt anything. With 160,000 miles on the original tranny I've never done it.
