Well the last friday myself and jvjump and dodgeram_04 put in my full Hts tranny. I went out and tested when finished did a few 0-110mph runs and watched my Edge monitor. THe egt that I reached was 1450 max in 3rd with lockup then back down to 1250 then back to 1450 by the time I hit 110. This seem strange because I use to be able to get to 1450 early then have the Edge defuel up to 25-35%. Now I have no defuel also no slip in trans either. I also had the Mp-8 up to about 50-60%. If I turn it down the egt's stay even lower. Is this a fuel supply issue or just enough air to keep it cool. I am confused.

Nobody has any insight on this issue. any ideas/suggestions.

Sounds like your tranny is locking up really good so that you are not losing boost on shifts and therefore you are spooling ideally and keeping cooler. You should be a lot faster I hope. ks

I agree with abc4yew, it sounds like one of the benefits of a well built tc/transmission. Not near as much lost power and therefore less heat built up before to compensate in power and boost.

RamNu2

So in your two opinions what do you think the next step should be in my power search?

abc4yew

Turbo....62/12 if you tow....62/14 if you don't. ks

I would agree again with abc. I have an II SPS66, but it does take a lot of fueling to make happy and spool. After the turbo then it would be time to upgrade to the HOT Juice.

i agree with the other 2 gentlemen....they know their stuff.

i have to agree with the others upgrade to the hot juice and get a lift pump.

RamNu2

Well today I sent the paper work off for the hot upgrade. I guess only a few more days till I get the code. Here is a picture of last weeks load good sized but have had bigger. Gross truck trailer and load weighed in at 24600lbs. I guess I tow depends on what you consider towing.

Thats a nice load ya got there, that doolittle must be tougher than I thought they were.

RamNu2

It was slightly overloaded there by about 1000lbs. Still had no problem lifting it to dump load. I am very happy with it so far.
