That's great. I hope you're out cruising around in it by this time tomorrow.

Cool. Thank you

I have the trans sitting under my truck, and will be bolting her back up tomorrow morning:nanawrench:.

Cool, good luck man. I was nervous when I put mine back in. Don't sweat it though you got the best tech board backing you here. Burn some rubber tomorrow:D

She is alive!!!!!!!!!!:nanawoot::dancenana: She runs really nice. I need to go get about a 1/2 qt. of trans fluid to top her off, but am very impressed.

Good job! :thumb:

It's a good feeling when you take it all apart, put it all back together and it works... better than before... Isn't it? :)

LOL Yeah I am really looking forward to that. Hopefully Monday I can take the clutches down there to start the complaining process. This will be very interesting to say the least.

I have one more quick question. Everything is working really good, but I am noticing a higher trans temp then before. I was seeing around 155 and now I am seeing 160 up to 170. Is this normal? Could I have connected my trans coolant line up wrong? What is the easier way to tell if I have the coolant line connected correctly?

It is normal. Anytime you increase pressure you increase heat. I doubt you hooked up the lines wrong, IIRC that would be pretty hard hook up.

Okay. That makes me feel a lot better.

Mike or anybody that is running the C3 oiler. Does the trans have to be dropped again to add the C3 Oiler? I should have done it when I had it out, but to many other things were going on.:eek:

No, it can be done in truck. There may be a tight spot or two, but it can be done.
