Well i installed the tranny on wednesday, relearned it yesterday, and ended up with the E valve sticking. So pulled the valvebody today and cleaned it up, put it back together and so far so good, everything works great. Tranny feels good now. Truck feels strong off the line, around 1/8mile it's lacking power though, and picks up towards the end of the 1/4mile. Waiting for Simon to come home so we can tune the truck :woott::woott:

I'm a happy camper finally haha, truck has been sitting for 2 months, feels great to drive it again and finally go fast.
Did two 5psi 4x4 launches and one 10psi. Truck pushed thru the brakes at 10psi, brake pedal feels pretty soft so i gotta fix that. But at 5psi it smoked like a freight train and the 10psi launch was very clean, just a little haze off the line and cleared right up :burnout:

Here's a bunch of pics
