That stock wimpy little third gen did that!

Nice Number can't wait to get to track myself!

Now imagine what you'd run if you had a DTT in that truck.

John,

Are your current dyno numbers with BDDL, Ramifier, and Nitrous?

Or ??????????

Big Joe

VIDEO, VIDEO, we wanna see video.

John Rodriguez

Yes sir, BDDL on Extreme, TS-Performance MP-8, and nitrous.

No "Apparent" breakage but we all know the trans is slowly destructing..

slowly?

Hey now, I have 12k miles on it so far, and been pushing 400 with a right foot so heavy I limp for 11,000 miles, and my fluid is still cherry-red. I drop my tranny pan every 3,000 miles and change the filter, which is usually in good condition. Although at 550 the clutch in the converter doesn't like dragging the engine down when it locks up in OD anymore Tranny temps never got over 200, which isn't bad considering in mild stop-n-go it gets to 180-190 (ambient temp is usually 110)

Ok John,...I can see how you can get those numbers with the mods you've got but what I can't understand is for maybe 6 months you've been reporting "one hurting tranny". It's hard to believe those numbers without a modified tranny. I've talked to maybe a hundred or so members about trannys and upgrades and the oem and the one consistent is the limbo or lag from 3rd to OD. That alone is a second or two before it locks into OD. That puts some doubt on those numbers much less the ability to launch above say 10lb to 12lbs of boost in order to get a good take off without all kinds of billet enhancements to even a built tranny. I know in my truck that when I went to the EDGE Juice alone on lvl 5 it took maybe 10 hard runs and I had toasted the OD clutches which are like paper. You've had more videos than that of hard runs and burn outs. Yes I know you've got the pictures, the dyno sheets and all that but you must have the only bionic stock 48re out there to do what you've done. Everyone knows the difference in one of these trucks once you get the built tranny installed which is at least a second in the 1/4 mile so that means you must be driving a 12.5 to 12.8 truck around once you decide to get the power to the ground. My congratulations on you purchase.

I'm usually pretty crazy about maintenance. I've changed the tranny fluid (MERCON, not ATF+4... maybe some hydraulic fluid ) and filter at least 5 times. MCummings can swear about the stockness of my tranny, he's holding my money for the tranny. Personally I don't know how my tranny has survived to this point, and to be honest sometimes it hooks up HARD and other times it slips to 3,500rpm, but overdrive has NEVER given me a problem. Mine lag's at times between first and second. I've had it up to 220 degrees when I "hooked bumpers" in dirt and had 3 spinning in lockup in 2nd, then it got too hot, downshifted, and the temp rose hard. I drive around in tow-haul mode, and usually putz around with 1-2psi of boost. I've done at least 100 20psi 4wd launches. The first time my OD slipped was when it went from 3rd lockup to OD lockup, and even then the rpm's dropped to 2,400rpm. I'm used to getting one of the "factory freaks" my Mitsu lancer evolution 8 took more knock and survived minutes at a time with a pegged 2,400 degree pre-turbo pyro.
