    Need Tranny Help

    Today I went for a drive and on my way home my tranny gauges, factory and aftermarket went into the red zone. I wasn't doing anything unusual and only noticed it when I was almost home. I checked my tranny and ended up putting about 2 quarts of fluid in there. I checked it two weeks ago and it...

    Attorneys in the House

    I was a cop for 28 years and saw the odd thing like this. One can only wonder how they got their jobs in the first place. I worked with a guy who got in between a K9 officer and his dog when the dog was about to take down a bad guy. When he saw the dog coming at him, instead of freezing he...

    OffRoad Lights?

    I've had Stainless Steel KC's on my truck for 4 years and they still work great.

    lift kits?

    I just finished installing a DR 6 inch lift with dual Bilstein 5100's up front. Although it handles fantastic compared to before, the ride is definitely harsher. My wife usually drives my truck but I don't think she'll be impressed. I guess there's always a trade off. I had a Fabtech 3.5 inch...

    Hipp- err, I mean, Grizzly Man...

    Saw the movie as well. Sure came across as some kind of lunatic idiot. I used to guide American bear hunters in Alberta. I know what bears can do to you. They banned Grizzly hunting this year in Alberta for 3 years. But there is definitely no shortage of black bears. I did encounter a...

    What gear do you tow in??

    I tow a 25 foot travel travel trailer in OD all the time. But I installed a larger tranny cooler and have a column mounted tranny temp gauge as well. Don't trust the factory one. Haven't encountered any problems yet but I do keep a close eye on the EGT as well as tranny temps.

    TRANNY COOLER SWAP

    I did mine last year. It's really quite easy. The nice thing is the 6.0 cooler bolts right up where the 7.3 was. No hassle at all. It makes a huge difference to the colling in the tranny.:thumbs

    banks trans command

    I installed a new tranny cooler out of an 04 model and a temp gauge. Banks still swears by the Trans Command and Trailering Life recently did an article supporting it. No offence to anyone but does anyone have knowledge of any specific case of a person losing a tranny because of the Trans...

    Dual exhaust question

    I have the Banks Monster exhaust with single pipe but I would love to have the dual. Does anyone know who makes a kit to convert my single to dual?

    banks trans command

    I've been using a Banks Transcommand for about 2 years now and I love it. Works great. Tranny definitely has a firmer feel to it.

    Testing My Antifreeze

    Hey Sam, Thanks for the mail. I do like to get under my truck once in awhile to check for leaks, loose stuff etc. In the spring I'm installing a 6 inch Donahoe Racing lift kit with dual shocks up front. Dual DR steering stabilizers, adjustable trac bar and 37 inch Pro Comp X Terrains. All the...

    Testing My Antifreeze

    My truck is an 02 but only has about 40,000 miles on it.

    Testing My Antifreeze

    Hey guys, I just checked my truck and my coolant is gold color. Based on what guzzle said, do I still have to check it? I certainly don't mind if it's required. I plan to keep this truck a long time and I'm willing to do anything required to maintain it in good operating condition.

    Testing My Antifreeze

    Sam, you have mail. And thanks everyone. I'll try to locate some test strips on Monday and test it right away. :)

    Transmission go BOOM!

    Sorry to hear about your misfortune. Heard a lot of good things about BTS though. I bought my 6.0 cooler off Ebay. You can get them pretty reasonable off there now. Don't buy from the dealer cause they cost a fortune.:D

    Testing My Antifreeze

    Thanks for the help guys. I'll get it tested for sure on my next oil change. In the meantime I'll check to see if I can get the test strips. I don't know who sells Evans coolant around but I'll ask around.

    Testing My Antifreeze

    I spoke to a guy today who mentioned I should get my antifreeze tested for acid content. He said the acid damages the injecter liners and allows antifreeze into the oil. I'm not familiar with this.But I certainly don't mind getting it done. Any suggestions or comments are welcome.:D

    Torque Converter ???????'s

    Banks and ATS make good ones from what I hear. But their not cheap. I'm sure there some guys here that can give you some advice but the additional cost is worth it if your gonna run bigger power. That's what I plan to do eventually. A good torque converter can make a huge difference to your...

    Limited Slip Diff?

    The Ford unit which is okay is not the best unit around. There are much better limited slips out there. But if price is a factor then go with that one. If you get a used one it might be a good idea to have some throw a new set of clutches in it unless it's out of a new truck. On the other hand...

    Best trans upgrade?

    I went with the Banks TransCommand. I find it works great. I also installed a tranny cooler out of a 2004 which is about 2.5 times larger than the one in your truck and an Autometer Tranny temp gauge. I was told by a shop forman at the dealer where I get my truck serviced that the tranny cooler...
