no break in huh.

the guy at pyle bros. told me to get it hot and then let it cool down for a couple of hours. which i did. that was the only time i got on it and it was done at 65mph. not from a take off. which in my mind would be the killer for the rear end. i only took it up to about 90 which i know i shouldnt have but i back off real quick to let it get back down.
I asked the guy about drive'n for 500 miles. and he said not to worry about it.
these guys do this all the time. its all they do so i will trust them. if he says thats all i need to do then so be it.
If i recall correctly BIGKID did the same thing at the thunder shootout. I know there is no way he put 500 miles on it before he ran it. i think his is still doin fine. but i do understand your commit, i am not defending myself or anything just telling you what i was told.

Nice Kill!!! They should change their song from "have you driven a ford lately" to "have you killed a ford lately" haha.

Nice run and glad your tranny held together. We don't want to see a post today I was drive home going up a hill and the tran's made a loud sound and I went backwards down the hill. Your trans company must love to see you coming back. To funny. Need to brake stuff in then try to brake it.

funny you say that.
seriously though i think my torque converter went out this morning
i was driving down the road when it just fell out of gear. no noise or anything, when i came to a stop you could hear a slight "whir" comin from the front of the trans.
you guys with edit what do you have your line presure set at? mine is set at 90 max. is this to high?
the guy keeps telling me that its my program that is killing the trans. how do i prove him wrong?

tell him you&#39;ve had the stock programming in since the beginning and the trans was not touched, just fib a little bit, lol. seriously though , you&#39;re gonna have to becuase for now on, i&#39;m sure he&#39;s gonna blame on that.

just load your stock programming in and drive it for a while, see what happens if you like, it should hold up no matter what.

also, when i do tranny tunes, i barely increase the line pressure, so that&#39;s not it, look at mine trans and lance&#39;s, 02denali, ours shift hard and continue to, if it&#39;s built right, it will hold up.

i&#39;m sure your tranny guy is just worn out having to build it so many times, lol, trying to find an escape.

keep us updated,

thats what i told him, if its built right it will hold. so i doubt i will get my money back because i think he is going to throw that up about the computer program. i just want to figure out how to prove its him and not the program.
