Got my truck unburied from the garage and went for a ride today. I forgot how hard that transmission shifts ATS transmission performing flawlessly.......:dance:

maybe but it started whining when I was on the highway and I busted 120mph
 
Was it low on fluid?

No... I had a new carrier unit installed then it started making noise after about 10,000 miles which for me it took about three years to accumulate...
 
So most likely pinion bearings? My last gear change I believe it took me three tries to get the pinion depth right.

That was my first thought the pinion bearing went bad. But Keith drove the truck and he believes it's the ring and pinion.
 
With Keith having drove it, I go with his diagnosis. Typically you can diagmose pinion bearings by when they make noise either under load or coasting. Can you reset them or are you going to regear?

I have the new gear set sitting on the floor in the box... I have decided to go with 3.55 hoping to stop some of the wheel spin down low ...

The taller gear will load the engine more giving more control. imo...

Clint recently told me that he has some supercharged/turbocharged and modded Hemi Ram turcks that are showing great results. But, nothing with big horse power... Clint wants the ATS trans and Copilot to hold up to 1000hp/tq.

I'm looking to build up to the bigger hp/tq side of the ATS trans and Copilot testing. Hopefully.... Step by step. The 05 is getting there.

PS. You could always contact Clint and let him know who you are Bill. :bow::bow::bow: Your truck would get his attention for sure! Clint would love to have you as one of the ATS trans and Copilot testers. But, you wont get the trans and Copilot for free...

I bet he does...
 
Sorry I don't see it happening. But I do hope it works for you..
