New 02 sensors get here friday. Checked gas mileage with the donor engine. A pathetic 6.3 MPG! Ya know, at one point this truck got 13MPG after I put this aftermarket performance chip on it!? Even 13 sux! But better then 6.3! Gonna have to wait until the bilbical rains let up! Bet its rained 5 inches in 24 hours!? Joys of living in a temperate rain forest!

The shop vac has been universal in removing oil, diesel and gasoline! I think there was enough water present to keep the flash point down? I tried using my electric fuel pump to empty the tank and it would only pump about a gallon an hour! shop vac handled it in a matter of seconds! You know "SHOP VAC" went out of business due to covid? This poor shop vac will never be the same! Walmart or Chinamart, as I like to call it, carries some chinese brand of vacuum now? Just more mass produced junk coming from China! Piling up our land fills!

Could there be a problem with the torque converter as well? After sit n in a park parking lot, I fired the truck up and it went into reverse and then went into gear for a few minutes. just long enough to get me back on the highway and go out again. i limped it closer to the shop parking lot. then eventually had to get towed the last half mile off the side of the highway.

Well, I wonder if there is a quick fix on thia 47RE? I was going up a hill and the truck just started slipping in gear. Then every gear was gone? Sat on the side of the road for a while, fired it back up and the gears worked for a minute amount of time. then began slipping in all gears again. replaced the fluid and filter when i replaced my engine. fluid was fine until slipage event. now fluid is definitely burnt. any ideas other then a smoked tranny?

Not to bad. I rebuilt three trans in my life and it was pretty easy. Then again around me is only $1000 for a stock rebuild

It will not the V8s had a 46re the Cummins/V10 had a 47re. Even the Cummins won't fit I believe the input shaft is bigger
