Am I right that it is about a 3 hour drive from Chester? If I have the weekend open I plan on coming up for the day.

Well its all most time?

 

[jd4242]

I'm a maybe at this point. I'm getting roped into some family events that I don't think I'll be able to get out of.

Any updates?

 

[jd4242]

You get that low voltage figured out?

 

[Ronin8002]

I'm out for this one. Playing catch up on a bunch of projects around my house and also was "volun-told" for a couple more at my father in law's place

I'll have to catch the next one!

So what does it mean when you are driving along at 65mph and then when the trans goes to downshift, instead it being smooth theres a loud bang and the down shift is violent as hell! Well that's what I got Friday. Was able to drive home, and the Trans was happy as long as i stayed under 60mph.

So yeah... I'm f***ed

w00t...trans swap!

Let me know when you want to do that one

 

[DominicanX]

I may be looking at a truck swap! I'm getting a bit sick of this one's little into big issues. Anyhow. Bottom line is that i'm definitely out this run now.

Will: How's that Level 10 Trans shop? Another option is driving to NJ and letting them rebuild mine with all their "Bulletproof" pieces.

Haven't you replaced it before? Ever thought aboit 5 speed swap?

 

[01STrunner]

Fine by mebring as many as you want

I did replace it. But i think the Torque Converter is what crapped out. Thought about the Manual Swap, but I figured I might as well upgrade to a V8 4dr, for more torque and space. Seen some under $5K with less than 90K miles on em.

We'll see what happens.

Yea that would be cool.alot of your parts would swap over to right? Be sad to see such a bad ass sport be passed on but i hear you on the problems.

Yeah right... What about when you blow that ttb/ifs mess out? D44? I thought so lol

I talked with the owners of lvl ten and performance automatics...
Performance automatics is the only company that offers a lifetime warranty on all trans's...
Great companies though they are strictly a reman shop so u have to bring them the core meaning no diagnostics...
Performance automatic is close to you I'd call them up
I had a jasper remanufactured put in... Both shop owners agreed that without a accurate prognosis of what's wrong with mine they couldn't ensure it'd be good to go....

Countdown follow up

i haven't posted in a while so i am trying to touch base on a couple of the salient points from the last several pages

Will, i appreciate the offer on the BBQ and will probably take you up on it next time....but for this time i will smoke my own..... how much does it cost / pound to get it from your folks? i am betting when it is all said and done that it is cheaper to get it from them.

as to fridge..... nothing there i have full size freezer but only a dormer size fridge... basically worthless.

i see a couple people talking about kids.... if you are camping at my place i am sure we can find some campspots close enough but far enough if we make too much noise.

Is there a specific run and meeting place set yet????? i may have some local folks that may join you for the GWNF portion of the run. At this point i am not sure whether i will be able to run or not as i might have too much to do at the house, i think some folks may just bring ATV's and hang at my place while the rest of you are in the forest.

Do we have a head count and an estimated time (or day) of arrival.

River levels are finally getting down to a level where fishing, floating, wading can be done. i have patched a handfull of inner tubes for river floats.

If you guys are doing shoe....be careful about the water levels....we have been having weird cloudburst type storms that will cause on area or another to flash. i do not have a good feel for how to check that. Maybe keep an eye on the guages from the AWA website for the upper Piney.

as to carrying a Kayak affecting gas mileage....i would not worry about it ....I carried kayaks on my vehicles almost continuously from 1985 through 1999. i was never ever able to establish a discernble fuel consumption issue.

Has anybody reached out to Brandon?
