    Very happy with 700R4 in M1009

    Iceman, Thanks for your encouraging comments regarding the 700R4. I know that I am a little over-cautious since this is the first automatic transmission I rebuilt and I do not want to spend another weekend day yanking out a burned up 700R4 and putting the TH400 back in my daily driver.

    Last weekend I put a 700R4 with NP241C in my M1009 with 4.10 gears in a 14 bolt FF axle and 315/75R16 BFGoodrich T/A KO2 (34.5" diameter) tires. This is the truck in my avatar. I built this tranny about 2 years ago during a long, cold Montana winter but did not have the time or energy to make...
