Welp. Little update. Few things going on with the truck. This transmission I put in had a good many leaks going on since the install around the pump plate and bellhousing. Got into it today. Pulled the front clutch and found that 8 of the 16 bolts for the bellhousing were loose. 2 were...

I even parked the rear of BART on those ramps Joseph. Well spare transmission I put in has issues. Grinding and wont move. So it's time to opt for a crate one. But in the mean time since the cab is coming off again. I will take the day on Thursday and replace the head gaskets since they...

Bruce has priors for that. It is easy work. if you are doing is that way then unbolt the bed and pull on it with a truck to slide it back and drive under the trusses and take it out that way. or its time to tell the wife that you need a wrecker.

Transfer case only takes an hour or so. so chop chop chop.

Fun filled day. Tore down the broke trans for rebuild. Swapped in the spare for now. And swapped my valve body on.

Welp. First problem out of the kitty cat. Well it was my own dumb fault. Had both rear bolts in the rear mount break off in the casing so I ended up swapping that out and the rear bearing retainer. Worked well for a bit. Had a slow shift rear clutch engagement from a o ring that had fell...

I located one in Pensacola a person has. I gotta install AC in their 931 to get it though. There were 4 trucks in a lot of 10 trucks that went on Gov deals a few weeks back that all had 14ft iso beds. Went too high tho. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Sorry they are open. basically simulating a locker. for some reason LS came to mind. I have some lockers to put in. Just trying to get my 14ft iso bed and do all that at one time.

Aight well I will give a demonstration of how nice the cat transmission is. This was a steep hill climb. Would not climb it in 4th gear in high range with the HEMTT case. Loaded at over 68k. Gravel road. And I do not have a front drive line installed until after my big cam conversion. The...

Thought I would give a little update as I just went thru 18,000 miles with the transmission so far. She seems to be holding together well. Not any problems on the cold mornings we have had. Or any valve body issues luckily. Heaviest I have towed with it was the Case 1155E track loaders giving be...

Yeah I do that alot especially when loaded to keep it from slowing down on the shifts. I dont let off the pedal till the 3rd air burst starts then back on it as soon as the 4th burst ends. I have a video to upload of a 0-60 upshift at 55k gross and its at 60 in under a mile. She hits 60 empty...

Welp, Just went past 1100hours since the install. Went ahead and changed the oil on the transmission. I went with synthetic 1540 Lucas Magnum oil per Soni when I first put it in. Around $30 a gallon. Decided to go back with regular 15w40 this time around and yes the transmission is normally...

Yea mo. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk

Im swapping a hemtt case in for more strength for an upcoming repower. No sense in blowing a t1138 if i dont have to. Power power plus bigger tires means ill still have good road speed Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk

you didn't show up in Georgia Mo. you could have gone for a ride.

Pretty sure the overdrive is working great. She worked her way up to 83 on a run back to the yard from Atlanta. Had to blow past some truckers that wouldn't let anyone in. It is nice being able to roll uphill in overdrive. She averaged the 53 on mostly mountain driving with a loaded trailer.

1850/1900 at 67/68 she seems to like that towing or empty. The higher speed really helps on the run down the hill and back up the hill times. Loaded with everything ive hauled so far i have never had to drop below 13th. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk

Thanks mo. My air ride seat is pretty awesome. I do want to go see this guy. This looks awesome. https://youtu.be/lmuoQWmLtbI Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk

Yep. Memphis to st. Louis and back. To near Tallahassee. Back to memphis via hattiesburg. Then mem to Lafayette, LA up to Shreveport and back to memphis then to an hour north of Pittsburg. Then on up to an hour or so north of boston down to macon, ga and home. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk

She did 6,350 miles since 9/25. About 1500miles of that was empty trailer driving. 5tons to deuces to a trailer. She did well. Mpg went up by about .5. Going to do some small maintenance service tomorrow to check it all over. Overall i had a fan clutch finally give out. Not like i need it...
