    you remember correct vince. after some hard miles, i stretched the band and had to add a washer to the servo to get it shifting into 4th gear again. then i burnt the clutches. this is in a 400+ HP extended cab truck. my tuner still tells me that i beat on my truck more than any customer he has. my truck is a toy, and i drive it like a toy. most of the time it is WOT, 1st gear drops, 1st gear "hopping" as i like to call it haha...i still pull trailers and boats with my 3800ihs converter too. as long as the trans doesnt get over 200 on the dummy guage ill keep pulling.

    as a tranny builder, how many customers have you had crack 3 flywheels and sheer the converter bolts out twice in a street truck. im not making massive horsepower to do this. i just abuse the dog out of my truck. it has drag radials on the street and slicks on the track. my transmission never gets a break unless it is raining.

    also, one of my good buddies burnt the clutches in one of your units with a 315HP single cab in less than a year. like i said before...its a POS 4l60e and stuff happens. if i had the chance, i wouldnt hesitate to put one of your units under my truck.

    theres bad floating around about everybody. thats what sucks about online feedback. one oops screws up 10,000 pats on the back. and you only seem to hear back from the ones who have problems.
