Let's do it. No better time to test. Wasn't going to bring a trailer. I just may now.

Any updates Mr. American hogger?

Nothing good. Front main is toast and it seems my convertor is also toast. That lived a whole handful of 1/2 throttle passes. Having a DPC convertor made and will have a new seal at the latest Monday. Just worried about the trans now as I'm sure the convertor sent crap all through it.

Dammit man! What could be causing it to eat converters?

Sent from a Cummins plant, driving a Powerstroke, with a TDI on the side!

It seems precision quality has gone to ****! I've already gone through my furious stage and freakout stage. Just trying to figure out parts now.

So have you trashed a precision and sun coast convertor now? This sucks ba!!s

blk350on20s · Apr 27, 2014

All precision. One was trashed upon start up. Didn't even go in gear.

ncollins64 · Apr 27, 2014

Well that's good to know. Hope the rest of your tranny is still OK.

blk350on20s · Apr 27, 2014

RCD converters are made by precision.

We have had only good luck as well as RCD a Rudy who all use precision industries converters.

There is another precision that makes converters that is not so good.

Morgan@Midwest Diesel & Auto · Apr 27, 2014

Fwiw. I hope there isn't something wrong with the trans that may have caused this or been caused by it either.

Ya Fenner went through like five of the Percision converters in a very short time period. Switch to DPC and you will be happy. They are a quality converter that has a proven track record with high hp engines behind them.

Wow, sorry Ryan. I hope the new converter will hold up and fix your issues. Are you going to do a fluid change and cooler flush just incase?

blk350on20s · Apr 27, 2014

These were all made by the same precision as RCD. I've had awesome luck with them as I've used them since 08. Both a normal precision and RCD. It just doesn't seem like they can make a custom setup. I'm def going to flush the lines and cooler. I'm just really worried about the trans.

I hope it's good too. Do we need a spare to bring just in case?
