HA! when i was in the navy they put the exhaust on my truck and replaced the ficm..i watched the progression of brian's maroon rig...pretty cool guys. i didnt know they made transmissions now...

thats their specialty. Buddy, Rave and the boys will take care of you and have very competitive pricing on their transmissions.

You should have no issues with a stock trans with what power you're running.

i sure do..almost sounds like a manual when youre idling..that slight grinding you hear like when uyou let a manual free roll over a hill..its terrible..i remember i turned a corner, nailed it and it went to shift down to first from second and it went into neutral and wrapped out..its done that a few times since but i didnt try it at that low of a dig..did it at like 35mph and it went to shift into overdrive after 4th and wrapped out again. neutral..had to let off and let it roll and slowly eased in it and she caught up...when it does that i can smell the TC in the cab :fustrate:

That's my point. I understand you're having issues with this one, but I wouldn't hesitate to put another stocker in it myself. Probably just a fluke with yours. I had my original torque converter "implode" or so the tech said, and I wasn't even ragging on it at the time. Just one of those things. The new trans has been great.

That was my problem. Exact same symptoms on a low mileage never previously tuned truck. Previous first owner before me was a pretty girl soccer mom who drove it easier than grandma with no more than a load of 2 kids in the backseat.

Xstreet F'd my trans. My srl with 10% higher shift pressure set by myself on those 2 problems shifts is getting me back and forth to work at least right now.
