Blue box q's now transmission q's

[SEmerson]

I finally have my blue box working good. Oo. Oo.



Now my transmission slips. :{ :{



I had bumped up my line pressure to 67-68 psi. I was told to not go above 70# by Bill K unless I change the acumilator spring. But I think at this time I need a temp fix. I cant aford a value body and converter right now. The parts and deposit would Just be to much right now. How high can I gowith my line pressure???? And at what point do I need a resitor to not set off codes?



I am only running the blue box only at 15 % also. Tomarrow I am taking off my ez and not use the blue box to reduce transmission stress untill I can get atleast a vb.



I will say even at 15%:--) The blue box it the bigest power increase so far

Temporary fix would be install a shift kit into the valve body.

kat

By that you mean a $375 vb from bill????

 

[KatDiesel]

You could do that, but no thats not what I was refering to. I was talking bout a $75 to $100 Trans Go shift kit. As a Temp fix. And it might not be enough to handle the complete load depending how you drive your truck.



A valve body from Bill would be a better choice. Call him and talk to him.

 

[SEmerson]

Do you think if I do a vb now will my convert hold for awhile at my power levels?

 

[SEmerson]

kat can you pop on icq for awhile?????

 

[KatDiesel]

On ICQ now.



As for how long your stock convertor will last? Thats the million dollar question. I ran a "Hot" PowerEdge with just a shift kit for over a year with no problems. It depends on how long you want it to last... ...



Its in how you drive it and treat it I suppose.

I've had just the VB in my truck for a year now. The TC held up to my BD 4 wire box, same as blue chip, fine. Now I added an EZ and it doesn't stand a chance. So with both of your chips "on", no, even with an upgraded VB it won't hold up long at all. If you only turn one on or the EZ and 15% or 30% of the Blue Chip, then you could drive it for a long time with just a VB. Like Kat said, it all depends on how you drive it.

VB only? until you have the full meal deal...

it's still only a "sack lunch"





Like they say <b>Pay me now or pay me later </b>

 

[Mopar-muscle]

what are the conditions you are using the blue box for other than increasing fuel consumption and EGT ????



as far as increasing your line pressure , if bill suggested you don't go any higher without changing something else then its probably safe to say thats as high as you want to go .



there are other things that go along with a pressure increase that increase clutch holding line pressure as you increase speed . just turning up the pressure on a stock VB is a bandaid .



you ain't gonna like this but that money you spent on the blue box should have went into the trans . if i had to do it again , the trans is the FIRST upgrade ...

 

[SEmerson]

I want the blue box for the sport factor. Ocational anti duramax useage.

 

[Mopar-muscle]

post electronics fueling is for playing ... you wanna play you gotta pay .



VB is minimun , whether its a kit you add or a bought and tested VB , your decision . but don't expect the stock TC to live a long and happy life , nor the trans as there are upgrades that need to be done for the power level you have the potential for .

 

[SEmerson]

I just orderd a vb from Bill K. And I plan on getting a converter and trans kit later. These trucks are expensive. You have the hop up expence and the payment. This month the payment is the small bill.

 

[High Voltage]

What's one more bill. .

 

[bigbrassmonkey]

Clutch pac sh*t the bed for me, if your using the fueling box for sport, then your time is limited, with the fms and 275"s, I lasted 45 days, IT IS CHEAPER TO DO IT BEFORE YOU SMOKE IT

 

[SEmerson]

I have the blue box at 15% and will probly leave it there till I get a trans pac and vb from bill.
