Dayum! You sure busted that pig to pieces. What kind of trans is that, TH400, just saw it in your sig? Going to upgrade to a 80e, my choice for strength of big power number engines plus you get an overdrive gear.

See my truck data in the "My Garage" section here... http://www.ls1truck.com/forums/my-ga...tml#post191709
I would like to get a 4L80 at some point. But I found a good used Th400 on craigslist that needed a rebuild for $25. Most of the parts from the old trans are good enough to swap into the donor case. So, even though I blew this one Ill be back on the road in a week or so for less than $50. Nothing wrong with that!

Wow I just stumbled across this thread, and didnt notice your location till I saw the plates on your truck!
Is this a shop in Manch that you work for/with or just some friends who share a common interest? My best friend lives in Manchester, so Im there a good ammount, hopefully Ill run into you some time, Id love to see the truck!
Giffin's Performance shop is located in Antrim, NH. We are still small time now, only 3 of us doing it part time. I work full time at MacMulkin Chevrolet in Nashua. John Giffin (owner) works full time at Quirk Chevrolet. (formally Dobles) We are hoping to get out of the dealership scene to do our own thing full time sometime soon.
Where does your buddy live in Manch? I live exit 8 off 93. Auburn/Hooksett side

The "lugs" in the case that retain my intermediate Clutches. it is pictured in the 8th photo down.
I went once to NED. Got all tech'd in and had megasquirt probems, never ended up racing. Your truck is lowered did you adjust you pinion angle after the drop? I have a highway vibration from my drop. My pinion angle is out 4 degrees and I bought shims, but never put them in.
