New project...need a name!

I hooked the IDS up for the ride home, pretty sure most scanners can read that PID though.

I have Red Alto's, some Transgo stuff, Suncoast input shaft....and get this....a Banks converter.

hmm That banks converter has not done bad then!! It is not designed for that type of power. Sounds like you have a good mixture of parts in there! Sounds like it worked good thou!

My gauge is supposed to do it but i can not get it to work. Might have to set it up for the pickup.

907DAVE · Apr 19, 2013

Yeah, impressed the hell out of me.

Looks like the truck is getting parked until I can get the trans fixed, dont want to put any trash into the system if I dont have to.

I hear you there! I would not have though it would have held up.

I dont blame you! I would do the same!

Had a little free time today so I built this high tech trans rig out of old race car frame sections.....Lol. This is my broken spare I need to fixed first.

Was able to tear into the tranny today. Looks like there is more problems than just the converter. The OD and direct frictions show some wear but the intermediate clutches were smoked. I also found the forward drum was it pretty rough shape also.

So what is you plan for new internals?? Looks like it is pretty much smoked.

907DAVE · May 3, 2013

Going to try a PI Stallion, E4OD forward drum and another set of those Alto's. I am not going to drop the coin on anymore billet stuff until I have the satisfaction of breaking the originals first.

I have the new drum, the converter should be here early next week and hoping to have the clutches ordered up soon.

Sounds like you have a good plan going. What brand converter are you going with?

Thank you Sir! Missed it.

What is the stall on the torque converter you got Dave?

907DAVE · May 4, 2013

1900

Here's a pic of the E4OD drum. If you reference the picture above you will see its splined all the way though, this should prevent the drum from stripping in the future. However, I was told the reason the 4R100 drums were only partially splined was to prevent it from breaking from the lack of material on the opposing side due to the sealing rings.

Guess I will find out which one is stronger.

Powerstroke Cowboy · May 4, 2013

Thanks Dave. It will be interesting to see how it holds up. There is always the billet option after it breaks.

But 735 for one part almost hurts.

907DAVE · May 4, 2013

My point exactly.

I dont mind breaking parts, but damn, no way I am going to spend that money on something that I may or may not need. I would much rather break one to justify the buy first.

I've broken a e4od and 4r100 drum in my truck at 600ish hp. Finally just went to the over sized intermediate and billet drum. it isn't fun the second time just makes me wish i hadn't gone cheap on my own stuff. I would suggest a billet o/d planet.
