Stock tranny cooler. Temps never go over 180-190* sitting in traffic on a hot day.

I'm working on the rebuild as we speak but I've had a couple of unexpected expenses pop up that have put a hurting on the trans fund so it's getting delayed yet again. I hate my stock converter. All it does is sit at 2000rpm and then finally drops like 500rpm once it locks. Not efficient by any means.

I ran a BD TC and VB. I got 100000 miles at 400rwhp. It last 40 miles at 677rwhp. The OD was toast. The RE-47/48 tranny is a tuff tranny even in stock form. Once you get a built tranny, you'll wonder why it took you so long to buy it in the first place. My stock TC only lasted to 7000miles and I smoked it on the first mountain pulling my trailer. If you don't tow, it should last.

BigBlue

Oh I know. I'm dying for a new one. I really am. I don't tow anything worth mentioning so that's probably why mines still alive.

is he even old enough for
"hold my beer and watch this"?

The title of this thread is "I gotta brag for a sec".


That was 19 hours ago and your still braggin.

dodgezilla04

i guess to pass his accounting does not require knowing how to tell time.

BigBlue

Yes I am mister smarty pants. Turned 21 on June 23rd so

And no, I don't need time with accounting. I need a tylenol and a whiskey for accounting.

Geico, ok, so I lied. I just wanna brag about my tranny.

dodgezilla04

well, I am happy for you and your tranny. That didnt sound quite right, but this is the modern world, to each his own.

the only reason I went with the nv5600 was I didnt want to have to spend $4K on a trans that would live. I didnt think a reasonably stock auto would put up with that abuse. well, we learn something new everyday.

Geico266

About time! A Texan that tells the truth!

(Geico is ducking and running to the corner of the room)

BigBlue

You know us Texans, always bragging that we are bigger and better than everybody else.

Geico266

Really? I had not noticed that. I'll pay more attention now that you mention it. Thanks!

(It's genetic for Texans.)

BigBlue

Ya know what's funny, I'm half okie. How's that factor in there for ya?

Geico266

Half Sooner huh,....... that explains alot.

BigBlue

I figured I'd go ahead and slip out another puzzle piece of my life to yall. Now the rest is up to yall to figure out.

BigBlue does not condone street racing nor does he say that his tranny is normal and none of the above should be attempted by anyone other than trained professionals.
