Hey guys i haven't been on here to post in along time. Ive been a memeber since i bought my truck in may of 06. I kinda have a problem tho. My transmission is slipping now. I have 30000 miles on my truck. It all started when i was pulling my goosneck with my 14000 lb pulling tractor. I pulled a couple really steap hills. Now when you are going 60 on the highway and lay into the fuel, the motor revs up an extra 400 to 500 rpms after the boost reaches 20 or so. I have a Bully Dog power pup set on 3 which should be 70 horsepower or something. and a quadzilla boost fooler. I mainly use my truck around the farm and going back and forth to work during the winter. We have a semi so i don't always use my trcuk for going to tractor pulls. I just hate that it is slipping. Any one have any suggestions for me and what i should do. I am going to keep this truck until she just wont go nemore haha so im not worried about spending alittle money to withstang the extra power. because once having it i gotta have it haha. Well just give me some ideas and dirrections. Thanks

sounds more like the torque converter is unlocking

 

Should be covered under the powertrain warranty.

 

Well with a programmer installed my waranty is voided, am i Right. I knew this before i used the programmer and wasn't too awfully worried about it. Because it is a dodge and the only weak point in our trucks is the tranmission. Hey drew what would be the best way to fix this problem??? Ive seen kits that have a transmission with torque converter that hold 600 horsepower for 4 or 5 grand. Is there a cheaper way to go since i don't constantly use my truck to pull with or just not worry about it until it completely gives out??

Thank Justin

 

you could alwasy get a valve body and toss it in. . .that will help a lot.

 

When it does fail then you will need a very good rebuilder like Dave at: http://www.goerend.com/
