Rotunda TTCF-7AR. Which is a heated unit and all I flushed were lines and cooler. And to repeat my builder works at the dealer, has 19 years of ford transmission experience. Has used the same parts in other 5rs without issues, only my truck goes through direct clutches. These other 5rs include 6.4s with stock high pressure/76mm turbos and stock fuel, 59/72 turbos and stock fuel, and 59/80 duel fueler and 60%. All of which make more power that comes on harder than my laggy 66. So we can throw the common denominator theory out the window. I've built my own fuel system, ported my own intake, plan to make my own up pipes, etc. so yes my self worth is pretty high in my head. And to get back on topic comparing whitey to warrens shop truck isn't fair. Ones streetable, using factory location on most parts iirc and 4 door. The other isn't legal to be on the street, has nothing in common with a factory 6.0, and is half a regular cab.

So, your trans builder works at the dealer and is the one who has built your trans the last 4 times? Seems like he's the common denominator then. Like I said have it built by someone else. I'm sure you'd be able to know whether or not tuning is the issue.

Somewhere down in Texas..
So half a page about the original topic, and 3 1/2 about how a guy can't build a transmission to last, but is going to keep doing it because he hasn't equalled the cost of a professionally built one yet. Got it. Dude, buy a professionally built trans, and be done with it. If something breaks, and is warranteed, it's taken care of. The time spent r&r'ing it plus parts buying and running around for self worth...please, my time is more valuable than that, and obviously you aren't as ***ing good as you think you are. Self worth obviously is a term you need to look up.

You guys hating on him are barking up the wrong tree imo. He doesnt have a high hp truck and his builder obviously isnt putting it together wrong. A shift kit and some upgraded clutches should hold his power for a couple years at least. There is obviously another issue here! Whether it is tuning or a internal issue bleeding off line pressure to the direct clutches idk.

Or there's is something wrong with his trans that the builder is overlooking. It may not be the parts or how he is assembling it. But there are things that I know about them that only a few others have seen, know or experienced. I learned them the hard way from doing tons of them.

Either way, if your putting trash through the system and not replacing the cooler that is your very first issue. If you're not ditching the whole vb for a different one that's your second issue and if your not cutting the converter open and having it flushed and resealed that's the third one.

Doing it yourself is great. That's why I am where I am.

Your trans builder may know how to assemble the trans but he is obviously missing something else in the process.

Just because he has three others doesn't mean jack.

I've built a lot of them. You still can have things happen that you haven't seen or that are a new failure that you can't explain.

I'm not on your case to get a new guy. It doesn't matter to me. But I would not be throwing new clutch packs in for "$100" and thinking the problem is fixed. There is more to it. Number one is that you haven't eliminated the trash from the system.

I thought mpd only did 819 on fuel ? And the rest was on nitrous? Correct me if im wrong. But if were talking fuel only numbers there's a big gap there
Was never dynoed after the first motor
When we started running track times we didn't dyno it any longer

With all due respect, however you look at it, its still the fastest 6.0 in a superduty body. Not a street truck sure in the end. But it was at one time.

Not discrediting Jesse at all. He's doing some very good things. And to make that power is great.

But Whitey is still my favorite 6.0 of all time. And that's years ago it did all that.

Where did whitey go? I can't remeber.

I'm not saying ones better than the other. Just saying they're to different of builds to be put in the same category. Both deserve their own respect and shouldn't be compared to one another. Btw thanks for your advise I really appreciate the guidance.

Holy thread derail. Take your trans to a shop that builds them for high hp trucks not just stock ****.

I do remember whitey just figured I'd post warrens build as it's pretty impressive I'd say.

what injector and nozzle where u guys runnin back in the day?



regardless the weight, it ridiculous. LOL


I think they had 300/150 hybrids but I could be wrong.

Would have been nice to see that truck on the track yet. I was very impress with it back when it was running.
Big thing IMO on spraying a 6.0 hard with a 5r110 is getting a good fuel limiter set to 4000 or 4200. The high end break up at 4600-4700 will take a 6.0 engine out quick. I've done it twice, will chunk a rod in no time. One missed shift and your done.

Isn't this truck running a 4r?


I'm impressed to say the least. 6.0s are gaining my respect more and more as they get older. 10.9 on fuel is nothing to look passed either. Backed up the dyno number for sure.

The last pass it made was 10.13@135 on one stage and the next pass the intermediate shaft broke and both stages send the motor to the moon lol
