A little update on my truck...

How's the saying go build it, race it, break it, repeat.

I sure hope a aermet shaft holds up now lol! JD, is your pump modified at all for your trans?

Well, we got the trans torn down and refreshed over the weekend. I'm guessing that many of you will be happy to know that the clutches in the trans looked great... Some of them hadn't even worn through the raybestos logo on them. All of the steels looked great! Again... 25k miles on this one getting beat the ***k up.

Me being me, I put new clutches in it anyway, but I kept the old ones LOL

Everything but the pump was fine. I'm gonna beat this aermet shaft like it owes me child support.

Let'er rip! How she holds up to all the abuse you are about to throw at her.

Good luck....it must be nice to know that 300M isn't strong enough for your build!!!

timj · Apr 20, 2015

I'm definitely happy to hear your clutches still looked great Jd. Hopefully now a aermet shaft and job done!

there is no doubt that Tadd builds one of the best 5R transmissions out there. Mine is still alive from DPC 2010 which is bad ass.

Congrats on the numbers man that is awesome.

FWIW my truck ran 11.51 at badi pretty consistant and went 11.23 at sea level but i dont think i had as much fuel to burn as you do up here.

I've often wonder if 300M is just too damn brittle to take shock loading...

According to JD its taken tons of abuse. His truck is 8600+/- lbs and probably one of the higher tq 6.4's period due to retaining a vgt high pressure.

I would say 300m would probably hold up to 90% of trucks.

didnt hold up to mine and it was stock fuel...

Yeah I made a blanket statement when obviously there are a million factors. I'm sure there's a way to break an aermet shaft too..

I'm just saying if it survived on jd's truck for that long then a quality 300m shaft is pretty strong.

my point is that mine has waaay less power and had seen much less abuse than jd's and it twisted. so i don't think 300m is very strong.

Thanks buddy. Funny thing thinking that your crew cab got me started in all this mess lol.

I agree though, it's tough to kill one of Tadd's trannies.

Hmmm.... That's a good question.

Mine took a hell of a beating for a long time I know that.

Oh and in other news, Phil cut my converter apart and he said it looked brand new still, so I'm happy about that.

powerstroked08 · Apr 21, 2015

I assume a new trans cooler just incase there are shavings in it?

Yes sir. Not worth hurting the trans... lol

jdgleason · Apr 30, 2015

Well, the new trans is in and I'll be spending a little time on the dyno with mine this evening, and I'll put some spray to it either tomorrow or Saturday once Jared is here

Getting everything ready for Monday!
