Fried 6r140

[gloan93]

Ok I was wondering who built your 6r140, How much did it cost, and is it a noticeable difference?
I've been running my hurt 2011 6.7 for a few months free revs in 4th and grunts in 5th time for a change 4th is the sweet spot

What caused it to **** the bed

 

[gloan93]

ummm IDK I'M gentle on it prob 100 boosted launches, 10+ Sled Pulls.
My truck has always had a hard shift even stock I put a set of traction bars on smoothed out the shifting so not for sure if it was quite right from the get go.

whats done to the truck performance wise.

 

[gloan93]

Just intake, lil bit bigger tune, 5" flo pro deleted trac bars just the basics. 4" Down pipe

6r's have held more then what you have given it especially with just a tune. How many miles are on it.

 

[Jgon08]

I'd say you may of had a bad one from the start. I no a lot of people have been way worse and there's are still kicking fine. Some with even upgraded turbos.

 

[97stoker350]

Sounds like a lemon to me although that is a lot of launches

Who tuned it Greg?

i know elite's shop truck has had a few different turbo's , dual pumps, and a good bit of testing, and at well over 600 it's just now starting to show some wear, but the only sign is lazy going into reverse, which i believe is a sign of the direct clutches starting to go. i'm kicking the crap out of mine, and within a few days i'll be doing it with a bigger turbo and pumps, so hopefully i can help in the testing. but it seems strong as hell as of right now.

There is actually a TSB for that delay reverse

There is also a TSB for delay engaugment forward and reverse, that has been linked to a bad pump design that looses prime... my bone stock truck is this victim and im waiting on parts from the dealer


So anyway in this case i think you got a bad one, theres not many out there some do fail...

 

[gloan93]

It has almost 22,000 Miles I also tow pretty heavy loads with a 24' Gooseneck maybe not a 100 launches but It's had quite a few. Now for tuning I like my custom tune not spittin a name out because they've been nothing but good to me. Also when hauling with the gooseneck I keep it in stock. I believe it was bad from the factory took it back to the stealership an they said nothing was wrong with it when it was bone stock.
I guess a build soon too come :thumbup:

Our 2wd street truck lasted just a hair over 1k miles from the time I got it. I will have something in two weeks Greg (talked more to them today). I will keep you in the loop. Waiting on a washer to be made.....

 

[gloan93]

Thank You, I believe I may have talked to you on Facebook here recently about this haha

 

[04stroker]

Nice to see you on the Army Greg! I think you got a bad one as well because nobody
I know works their truck quite like my dad his has a 155k miles tuned from day one and the only thing I had to do was replace one shift solenoid.

 

[gloan93]

You know me too Rykan I've also worked mine a hard 22,000 miles lol.
Took it out last night went to pass a car now it's grunting when I have it turned up or in stock setting. I guess the time is coming near. :jammin:

 

[04stroker]

For sure hasn't lived an easy life. LOL

Trick Truck what exactly is your truck doing? Mine free revs in 4th unless I let off before the shift for about 4 seconds then it will take 4th an bump and go on. I can Manually DOWNSHIFT to 4th JUST fine its all on the upshift. Now it will grunt the gears when I'm in the throttle like passing both in M and in D. It goes urrrp it's a nasty sound:flush:
