wow Jason who pissed in your Cheerios tonight

 

jason, that does make sense, but you know a guy can hope for a genorous ceo with the cracked dash to become the head of the dodge division right?

 

You can always hope, but the chances of a CEO that will give away free parts is highly unlikely. He wouldn't keep his job very long.

 

I just replaced my front bumper and dodge wanted some crazy amount for the bumper and trim compred to the new replacement parts I got for like $230 shipped for everything.... granted its not oem but that didnt help the old one from looking terrible and the grill cost me $52 the fake plastic chrome stickerlike laminate they used on the oem one was all wrinkled and faded....I got the stuff from ebay but if the oem stuff was even remotely priced close. I would have considered it. But my Dodge was made in mexico anyway so what the hell one more foriegn part wont hurt....

 

ok so back to the topic, what else can i do aside from a rebuild with billet input, and output shafts?

 

change your fluid often 70,000 is max and every 20 degrees over norm cuts your fluid life in half. 60 degrees over and your fluid is next to junk in 10,000 mi and people wonder why there tranny goes bad at 100,000. overheating for 100thou and fluid has been bad for 90. On beefing it up total rebuild is best with transgo shift kit. Firmer the shift = less plate slipping = less heat. And you can get a different servo -to-band arm. some trucks come with 2.5 or a 2.8 Get something in the high 3's to 4's The old hemis came with i believe something in the mid 5 range. and do the check delete.

 

someone else already did the check delete, as i have an external trans cooler, and im thinking about getting another so cool it even further. where can i get a decently priced trans temp gauge?
