Spicer is a very strong brand most driveshaft makers in the race world use spicer I don't know if they have fittings or not but those are the ones to get if available

Drag racers tend not to use grease zerk fitting. Makes the U-joint weaker.

Good point. With our heavy truck in mind.:thumb:

Spicer makes the factory Ujoints

This likely why I have not broken one yet then haha

Thank you all for your replies. I'm probably gonna go with Spicer. Just an update the tranny has been sent back to Denny, and the torque converter has been sent back to FTI for inspection, cleaning, and a re-stall.

It will be interesting to hear what Denny has to say about the trans.opcorn:

Have not heard (email) back yet from the Denny and the boys about selling me the Clutch Pack for the Stage III. Might have give them a call when I get a chance. :sad:

 

[DakotaJ]

I'd call him Bill. He wasn't there on Monday, but was suppose to be back in on Tuesday.

So, how fast does the line pressure build up when you go from idle to wot?

The reason I ask this question is maybe there needs to be a delay in serious power until the line pressure is up........ Maybe a pressure sensor for a boost delay switch or bypass valve?

Humm....

My LP gauge shows it is instant pressure increase. I'm not making big power, but I never lean on mine in OD. Even driving around where I'm playing a little the OD goes off everytime first. I have LP Booster and a stage III VB. No problems so far. knock on wood.

So is there an actual button on these trucks to turn o/d off or is that what tow/haul does?

I think mine is at the end of the shifter

Yep it is. And it is cold out side.

 

[charged392]

Some trucks have both on the button one or the other

Od off is just that overdrive off there is also tow haul which holds out of overdrive until the load is steady and not lugging the motor down it also runs the line pressure a little higher for extra holding power

 

[Ghost03hemi]

There has to be a way to raise that line pressure up a little more.:blink:

 

[charged392]

Tuning is only way it's duty cycle controlled by a solenoid in the pump itself

 

[FASTHEMIRAM05]

OD off and a line pressure booster will make it last a bit longer

 

[Ghost03hemi]

Yes, the Sonnex line pressure booster does help.:thumb: We need all the help we can get.:blink:

 

[arocketman]

Just put a Sonnex on the Rango. Don't tell Carol. :brows:

Just a quick update, Denny rebuilt the tranny and it should be here on Wednesday. So hopefully I'll have the truck by Friday. Denny wants to see line pressure numbers and go from there. Tranny tuning will mostly be a factor in the future.
