Some day he will hit the key and BAM! He is a savage, Either get your money back if you have already paid for it, or find another truck.

Yea, a real bad practice. Perhaps PO has been starting it this way all along? Better find out. If the answer is yes, walk away from it.

I have looked into the 241 in the past. Don't know about it being an upgrade from a 208 though as it has a few problems. Shift fork breakage and a problem with the chain rubbing a a small hole through the thin housing. If you go rebuilt, you can order a 208 with a 27 spline input shaft. Search...

Hmm, guess im wrong then.

If you are using the NP208 from your truck that was behind the TH400 it will not work unless you use a TH350/700R4 to NP208 adapter. The 400 has six mounting bolts to the adapter, the 700 has four. The input shaft will have to be changed on the 208 from 32 splines to 27 to mate up to the 700R4...

My truck is not stock, nor is it modified to any great lenth. The 700R4 and flatbed mods were made by the PO, and were a big factor in my purchasing it. Like chevyCUCV, I have configured the truck to my needs and to make it more reliable. I will keep the creature comforts as they are...

Hea wired, I have a simple trick for flushing coolant. Drain coolant. Take two 2in X 2ft lenths of PVC pipe, glue on a 90deg elbow. disconnect top rad hose from rad side, Attach the PVC to the hose with the open end pointing down. Fill radiator with water. Run the engine. The thermostat will...

Remove the left FT wheel and use a long piece of threaded rod, round stock or a 3/8 extention you don't care about, go through the fender well and tap the edge of the plug close to the block. Don't hit the block, just the plug. It should spin if enough to grab the plug with a vise grip or...

I deleted it, and just ran the external Derale cooler.

2-3 should also be firm with the shift kit. 3-4 should almost go unoticed. Back to the TV adj again, PITA, LOL!

I had a heck of a time adjusting mine. Believe it or not, each click on the cable adjuster will change the shift points, so make small adjustments. It's time consuming and a PITA, but critical. As you know through your research, an improper TV adjustment will burn up a 700 real fast, so easy on...

Do you mean the corvette servo? I did that on mine, and the way my tranny guy built my trans, the shifts were so harsh it was banging the gears so bad I was afraid it was going to break something. I guess he would have installed it if the trans needed it. I went back to the original servo.

It may be slipping, but you may not notice it. An improper TV cable adj will cause overheating. If the 2-3 shift slips under hard throttle, the TV cable is out of adjustment. The only proper way to adjust the TV cable is to have a trans shop line test each shift point. What is the stall speed on...

Cliff, 200 deg is way too hot, check out www.ThirdGen.org go to the message boards and search-700R4 temprature range. It has a table showing trans tempratures and the effect those temps have on the transmissions longevity. Mine runs no hotter than 140 deg, with a fan driven external cooler, in...

In my younger days used to use ether in a pinch when I had no brakecleen, and used it to clean up if I had no Go Jo,:oops:. I then looked up the MSDS on both when I got my hazmat certification with my IUOE local. I now avoid getting that stuff on my hands or inhale any vapors as the cemicals in...

CRC electromotive cleaner, MFG#03180 and a tooth brush.

Hea Marcus, the NP205 TC was not original to the truck. It was a 27 spline unit out of a 79 pickup and part of the 700R4 conversion so it was pretty old. The Off Road Design 205 is actually not bad at $895.00. I'll probably go with that. I've seen others at $1100.00. The Atlas unit goes for...

Don, in your climate, your truck should start just fine after doing a risistor bypass.

bshupe, Exelent write up. One of the most coherent threads i've seen here.

Yea, cruzin down the highway and it just let go. Pricing rebuilt NP205s, Big bucks. I should have gone through it when I had the tranny rebuilt, a costly mistake :oops:.
