Best way to lengthen the life of your CAPS system is installing a FASS lift pump.

Best preventive measure for failure of expensive CAPS high pressure pump is a FASS lift pump.

Thanks; I'll contact them.

Just east of Eustis and just north of Mt Dora.

Oh, and the line pressure has been boosted. It shifts HARD.

Well it sure woke my 96 up! But I have to watch the pyro and take it easy on the juice pedal. With the GSK, it feels like it has the power my 03 had before the Banks tuner. Before the GSK and the #10, the truck felt a LOT weaker than my 89, my 93, or my 94.

I can get one cheap and I can't afford any of the others out there. My engine is basically stock but for a #10 plate and 4K GSK. The transmission has upgraded valve body. I tow and I don't race.

I ground my plate to 100, and changed it out for a 10 on the advice of practically everyone on another site. But it's on a 160hp pump. I baby it. I can get a Banks single disk TC cheap. Think it'll last 5000 miles of heavy towing? Everything's stock on my truck except the plate and GSK.

I have 211,000 miles on my 96 12 valve and a #10 plate and 4kGSK. That's it. My TC clutch slips under heavy load and heavy throttle. First trip, it slipped when EGT reached 1250. Second trip it slipped when EGT reached 1150. Third trip is coming up. Previous owner had transmission rebuilt a couple of...

I think you're onto something. My o3 definitely was a faux gauge, but my 96 fluctuates with oil level and temperature, so I suspect it's a real gauge. But then my 94 never fluctuated at all. Sat on 40, no matter what.

The way I understand it, the oil pressure "gauge" isn't really a gauge but rather a glorified idiot light. The sensor supposedly is a switch that makes the "gauge" register 40 pounds when the switch/sensor provides the "gauge" a ground. When the switch/sensor senses oil pressure under 40 psi, it...

and the sock doesn't get oil-soggy and drip?

Clock's already ticking on your transmission. The plate won't make it tick faster, but your foot definitely will!

I tried a #100 and ran too hot EGT's. Switched to a #10 and it's about perfect. makes my 96 feel like my previous 03.
