This was the first dodge. Havent swapped a 'bunch' but more than most our age. Sorry to hear you are having so much trouble. Im glad mine went smooth. You will get it figured out!!

 

well, i "sorta" fixed the transmission line leak. just tightened it up more, and it seems to have stopped leaking. ill order a new line in a couple weeks, along with the new shift linkage.

also, i forgot to hook up the tv cable. glad i went to check it today, and im glad i have a spare hanging around... clips to hold it in the TB are broken off... gonna go install the new one in a bit.

there is fluid in the trans, but when i step on the gas to "give er hell" it acts like its slipping. is that cause the the tv cable not being hooked up, or did i destroy my trans when i was dry running it without the lines hooked up?

 

Only one way to find out, and that would be installing the TV cable and adjusting it correctly and go from there. I know you don't want to hear it again, but running it dry was really not a good idea. Maybe you'll get lucky.

 

i got the new tv cable in, and it seems extremely doggy still. as in it has no ***** at all! the transmission is not slipping, or at least doesnt feel like it. it just doesnt seem like it has all the power it should.

any ideas where i should go from here?

i just hope i didnt destroy anything... would be pretty pissed if i did.

 

Get everything buttoned up with the transmission, wait for your custom tune, and go from there.

 

Yea, get it ALL together and drive it over, and we'll see what things look like on my scanner, to start with anyway.

 

it is all together, and driving... i have a good scanner... just dont know what to look at, or look for.

 

Can't help you with that snapon scanner. I know my OTC Genysis scanner. I suggest you come by with your scanner, and the sct. Maybe we'll figure something out. Plus I actually have email, and maybe Sean can send tunes while your here. Not to mention, maybe I'll notice something you've missed.

 

got the o2 sensor wiring lengthened today. gonna re-install it tomorrow, and hopefully get the muffler installed. ordering a new shift linkage tomorrow as i somehow bent my current one causing my shifter adjustment issues.

reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally need to get a tune, and a new o2 bung and weld it in a better place for the wideband. figured out the current placement is in a bad spot.

 

How long does it take to get the tune? I wanna see this thing up and running with the big dogs!
