Tranny woes!

I have been expecting this ever since I hit 104,000 miles. Today I drove into town and each time I took my foot off the go pedal ole bessy would drop back a gear. I am hoping it is the TPS and as soon as I can I will check it out, but I may be headed to denver for the Full package!. If you get the Triple lock with their complete set up is it strong enough for a E-brake? <br> We already know it will have to have an EZ and some new injectors as well ;D Not to mention The Scotty II.

Re:Tranny woes!

Agreed. I have the Stage IV with E-brake and it holds quite well. I am planning on piercing the new pump wire here soon which should give me a large boost in power. The system will hold it. I don't worry about the tranny at this point. I worry about the pink slip potential. ;D

Re:Tranny woes!

I would strongly recommend the ATS. The system makes the truck a real puller.<br>george

The ATS Triplelok puts my power to the ground!! and holds it there!(check my dyno numbers)<br>If you get the ATS tranny, you might as well get the Comp<br>and forget the EZ!<br><br>--Justin<br>

Re:Tranny woes!

Took the TPS off and cleaned it real good, It had a little oxidation in the plug and some built up crud keeeping the spring from returning the dial back smoothly. I did not notice the drop down each time I let up on the throttle but Still has a shudder at slower speeds when shifting.<br> I would drive the dang thing till it quit except that would probably be on the first big hill 100 miles from home with the camper behind me :'( Maybe I can go till spring it would sure make things easier on me. Seems like winter I always have a million and one things to do!.

370's, a #4 plate or so, and an HX-40 would be a nice general combo!<br><br>Tom, the original 98Grammar
