Zman the only code is the 0455 large evap leak. My hoses are split like crazy at the canister. I really hate evap systems so I haven;t fooled with it yet.

I am taking it in Friday to a shop whose trans man is a former Dodge dealership employee. Supposed to be a great tech. WIth my schedule I just don't have much time to mess with it otherwise I'd take on what you suggest HeyYou.

I will say I drove home last night and never dropped OD. But I did get a warning light, low fuel! LOL (I really did get low on gas.)

 

Torque converter needs to be replaced.

Cost: $1500 + any additional warn parts.

Or I can go complete rebuild:

$2172

Argh....

My usual trans guy can beat those prices by a couple hundred bucks. But still. Not what I was hoping to hear.

 

Holy smoke. That's still pretty steep. For a couple hundred more, you could buy a mega viper.

For the cost of a road trip, you could go to wisconsin, and visit blacksky.

 

Okay I need more info HeyYou. Mega Viper?

Oh and what can Blacksky do for me?

 

Blacksky is a racing trans shop in Wisconsin. (not sure exactly where....)

Mega Viper is a heavy duty trans made by PATC. (scroll down. ) That will be the last trans you buy.

 

I want it! Who would like to gift me $3000?!?

 

Oh, and btw, my trusted trans shop said $600-700 for a TC replacement only. I am leanign that way.

 

If the t/c is coming apart internally, it is spreading it's crap throughout the trans. Just replacing might last you a little while, but, in the end, you will have to rebuild anyway, and won't be able to reuse that new converter.

 

Okay, yeah I thought about that too.

ANy thoughts from you or anyone else on this:

Not a mega viper but I do like the thought of this over a rebuild.

 

Find out what parts they put in it. I don't see that mentioned anywhere.....
