smoked the tranny already!

[L-Eater]

I have put about 500 miles on her so far and the tranny is already toast! I had a couple issues when I first got it going and through my stupidity I kept driving it and I think I smoked some clutches. I think I am going to pull the trans from my 2002 truck and use it in this one and build a fresh one for the beast.

Sorry to hear about the tranny!

Damn, the fun ended so quickly.

At least you have another ride, that's always cool.

These damn tranny's are shit, lol, sometimes they are fine for stock trucks, but put any power to them and they don't last long.
Don't forget to clean your lines and cooler out, that stuff will sieze your soleniods real quick.


later,

I have read about a lot of tranny's going out here lately. What the deal?

[L-Eater]

I traded a stock tranny to a guy for this one-it was supposedly "built to the max" and I personally drove the truck it came from. Actually, this was the truck I got my second Whipple off of too. It would rip your head off when it shifted!! It would bark 3rd which is something my '02 truck has NEVER done, even with the built tranny. But one thing I forgot was it had a Jet trans controller which was evidently jacking up the pressure a lot. We took all that off the other truck and put the stocker in it and it works just like a stock truck.

So I put this supposed "built" trans in my conversion truck and it won't even shift so I think I have some wiring issues. I double checked all that and I finally got it working after overfilling it by about 3 quarts (doh, what an idiot&#33 Anyways, it had the wrong filter-when I pulled the pan the filter was just laying there and the plug wasn't fully pushed on the pressure solenoid (that was the code I was getting) I put the right filter in and got the sol working but it must already have some burnt clutches. So I ordered a boatload of parts today including a new converter but all that is going in my 2002 truck and the trans that is currently in it is going in the '94. Bottom line is by Saturday afternoon the '94 will be back on the road!

Well 4L60E sucks stock, like I have always said. Soon it will be running again.

[L-Eater]

Well, it is running once again! I have only been a couple miles, but I am driving it to work tomorrow (100 mile round trip) so we'll see how it does. I have to re-write the program-I had the pressure turned way up trying to make the other tranny hold. So far the 3000 stall seems weird with the 3.08 gears and quiet exhaust. It does seem to pull hard, though. I'll post more after I drive it some.
