i got the email from Bob as well. just in time for me. just gotta hope my bonus check hits soon.

 

I was just about to post this up when I checked my email last night. Its a hell of a deal!!! And yes bullet, I love the TC more than the 4.56's, still THE best mod to date

 

yea thats what i thought. any advice on the install? any specific tools i would need thanks

 

A LIFT, a really really long socket extention to unbolt the top bolts of the trans, impact gun, trans/engine jack....

If you do it on the floor be prepared to have it down for a weekend cause with all the bolts you have to get out and other things you have to unhook from the trans, its going to take a long time. I think it took us around the 6hr mark to get mine in on a lift (but that was also letting it cool down and doing the trans service as well).

 

well crap i dont have a lift or some of that other stuff

 

Neither do I... Make some friends with some of the guys in your area, maybe one of them has a lift or put one in before that can lend a hand. Thats how I got mine in.

 

yea. well i could put it on jackstands to raise it up alittle higher. how hard is the actual install? think i could do it lol

 

Lets see, you remove the drive shaft, unbolt the the trans, remove all electrical connections, put a jack under the trans to support it, remove the crossmember supporting the trans, back the trans straight back far enough to get to the converter, pull the converter off without spilling trans fluid everywhere, fill the new one with new trans fluid (not sure how much it takes but it'll be a bit), slide it on, and put everything back together.

On that note though, you should also get a larger trans cooler too. From what I have read and heard running a higher stall converter can make the trans run hotter that normal, with mine Im running the same temps as I did with the stock configuration.

 

Some usefull info if you are really looking into doing this.

but you said it'd be a biatch with 4wd. also, says the converter is for engines with 440 ft.lbs or more.
