Im finally going to do it. The slow, hard to find a gear 6 speed is going bye bye to be replaced with a fully built automatic race tranny!! Yay for leaving the line with boost!!!! Project starts tomorrow.... hope to be back killing mosqitoes in 2 weeks

 

Let us know how that goes. I'm really curious.

 

i will... it should be fun and interesting. I know how much work it is.... but i love working on my truck!

 

What tranny did you go with??

Don~

 

whatcha doin with your six spd??? I might just want it

 

don - i went with a ats because they were the most helpful out of the big 4

rj - my six speed is going into the truck that i am taking the auto out of

 

jj3500 - clean out your box.... i cant reply when its full!!!

 

Sounds like something I needed to do to race my truck. I have a 5 speed, but the truck itself is just too heavy to drag race. 4x4, dually, CC. I want a 2WD roach I can fix up and drag race.

Good luck with everything!

Don~

 

thanks! it should be fun

 

My buddy wants to do the same thing to his 02; what all is involved?

 

They were racing them last week in Martin. Course the dually's weren't breaking 10's either.

 

Uh, no it's not. It's the ultimate sleeper, getting spanked by a farm truck. LOL

 

well its halfway done now. The auto donor truck left the shop tonight a 6 speed.... also with a new exhaust, box, turbo and pusher pump. The last few nights have been kinda long!!! Tomorrow i will get all of the prep done for my auto..... it should be here at the end of the week. This project, although very involved and labor intensive, is shaping up to be quite fun!

 

SD,

So the plan is to put down 700 ponies by the Spokane dyno event?

It would be nice if you dyno'd again at BD's to see how much hp the auto cost's you by compairing it to the hp level you ran there last time.

 

im not too sure about that 700 number before diesel thunder.... i just hope to finally break out of the 5's and hit a nice solid 6. Gotta see how the finances hold up in the next month...... i need some new injectors. Super Mentals might have a hard time pushing 600 hp!!!
