It finally happened!!

[blowinsmoke]

Well I was coming home from work tonight and I mashed on it a little goin up hill to pass some loser and rpms went to 3000 and it quit pullin as if it was in neutral. I let off throttle and it caught again and immediately I had a check engine light with a 0735 code. it stayed in like 3rd gear until i could stop and shut it off and check code and reset. Then it seemed to drive home fine, of course I backed the PPE tune back to 3 and drove like a normal person but tranny never did seem to heat up. Stayed about 160 - 180 range the remaining 15 miles home. Only have about 15k on a fresh fluid change and filters. Is it Suncoast time? Not sure what that particular code is, any help from Mike, Trent and all the rest of the gang would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks guys Jeff:booboo::

Incorrect 5th gear ratio , she limped due to a clutch pack slipping , better get her built soon !

or back down the power until you want to build it

Yep, get ready for a build. Mine does the same thing right now. Pretty frustating if you ask me.

Mine is still goin pretty good, it does seem to slip more in the cold wether though.

Damn I wished I lived closer to you Trent cause I would have you build it lol. Let me ask you this, I am a diesel mechanic and have been for 27 years but have only been into a couple of automatics WAY back in the day. Is this something I could do or should i just pay Dustin, since he is local for me, to do it? I dont want to be plagued with problems for the next few months cause I didnt put something in right lol. Thanks man, Jeff

Dustin will be able to make it hassle free... if you have the cash to just have it done i would unless you are comfortable. Mike L. has been able to walk LOTS of guys with far less experience through an install

Good luck with the newly built trans. My guess is that it will be like driving a new truck!!

Funny thing - I was about to start a thread with the same title - I finally changed my spin-on filter today. Sucker only had 50 000 miles on it but I changed it anyhow.......:rofl:

I've been inside 2 or 3 (one of them was mine twice b/c of a problem). If you want it hassle free and are local here in NC then Dustin is the man. Give him a call or PM him and he can get ya set up!
