    It originally looks like this

    Keep your fingers crossed and pray a lot that you dont get those rear two cylinders too hot and loose a ringland. A lot of people have seen cylinder temps get too high in the rear cylinders because of poor coolant circulation and the older style crossover which helps to bring the coolant to the rear as well has been know to help fight that.

    I couldn't find a brand a new one...know where I can get one?

    Under what conditions where the cylinder's getting hot? I don't plan on hot lapping the truck...just a nice little DD...my HP goals are b/w 550-600 when it is all said and done. I am extremely interested in entering the Sandhills Open Road Race in Arnold, Nebraska. I want to compete in the 80mph trap. http://www.arnoldne.org/pages/sorc

    I am still stuck on the fuel issue but none the less project MUST move on.

    Spent the last 2 days finally stripping, prepping, & painting the transmission.
    It is a 00 2wd 4L80e...Only mods the Transmission getting is a MagHytec Deep Pan, Transgo HD 2 Shift Kit, Lokar Dip Stick, and lines hooked up to the biggest transmission cooler I can find.

    I choose Purple b/c same color as the amazing ATS Diesel Transmission plus it is the wifey's favorite color. I tell her I painted it b.c its your favorite color and your so supporting of the build...NOT...the guys and everyone else...Just a lil mimick of ATS.

    I could not find Purple gloss anywhere! I went onto amazon, well there was three pack, primer, paint and clear coat! Awww, I never primed nor cleared my engine block. It is too late by now. So I ordered the three pack and Compare which holds up longer...Motor or Tranny paint?

    Here are some pics...

    Cleaning and Stipping...Used Purple Power, then hit it with wire wheel, then wiped down and blown dry









    All Primed Up

    I am located in Long Island, NY. Seems a little far but you want to take the trip let's drink some beers & spit on some hookers.

    Sad just drove up to Curfo on Wednesday. Def swing thru and spend the night no problem.
