Attention: TDR Forum Junkies First quick tale that was too funny to even tell live (I kept losing it before the end of the story):
1. Put a 20 foot bowrider behind your truck and have one of those "fast and furious" civics come up to you with the toilet pluger sticking out of the back of it. 55 on the highway and have the kid driving it mess with you, bellowing his rude bumble bee noise in your ear.
2. Get irritated with said dummy.
3. Floor truck, make turbo guage say 35PSI even though it is slipping the trans
4. Roast the kid... BAD!
5. When highway stops, after the kid went by upon you backing out of it... roll down window and tell kid that was with the air conditioner on and the transmission slipping.
6. Revel in the fact that his girlfriend is laughing at him.
7. Revel even more that the kid is just staring straight ahead and will not look at you.
8. Then, REALLY laugh when you realize that he was the leader of a pack of about ten F+F cars that are all behind him, laughing heartily at just being blown off by a paint shedding ugly Dodge 4X4 towing a BOAT no less!!!! HARDY HAR HAR!!!
9. Watch kid try not to cry:{
Then the not so nice story
(A week later)
1. Show friend, whos last experience with otto was in a 77 GMC with a <PUKE> 5. 7 GM Diesel.
2. Take him for a ride in your truck.
3. Push it to 22 PSI, usually not NEAR where the trans slips.
4. Let off as you reach 80 in a 35 MPH zone.
5. Feel sickening thud from under you as you release throttle.
6. Feel even sicker when you realize nothing is getting to the ground... as you coast to the side of the road.
7. Call AAA for a flatbed.
8. Try not to feel like the kid in the Honda:{ :{
9. Go drop the cash on a new transmission... .
(Boy is Momma gonna be mad)
Truck $31,000+
Amsoil bumper to bumper About $450. 00
Mods $650
Cap $1450
Auxiliary Fuel Tank $450
Michelins $670
The ability to take whichever chrysler engineer used that *&^%$ing automatic behind our engines and beat him senseless with a baseball bat... PRICELESS
Anyone know a good trans vendor in Connecticut?
I want the whole enchilada... right after I hunt down aforementioned "engineer"

w what a story
It was a beefed up stock converter. Custom welded, but it acted just like the stock one. I wish there was more known when it happened. Everything else in the trans has lol,(HAD)380,000 on it.
