Re: Operation tranny build starts this month!!

Why would it slip? Have you gotten it checked out? Have you talked to IPT since they have already put a VB on your truck?

I find that really hard to believe, but I could be wrong. Good luck with the build man.

So you're driving all the way to NJ and leaving your truck for 2 weeks? Or is someone else doing the build?

I would love to do this so I never have to worry about my tranny down the road, but 5k is insane.

Out of curiousity, how many miles are on the trans now, and how many after the IPT VB and cooler? Right now im I have about 8000 miles on my 3rd trans with only adding a cooler to it. My temp gauge reads about 150-165 when the sending unit is before the 3 coolers, and 100-125 when mounted after the coolers. I am a bit skeptical of this tranny lasting much longer as my 2nd went out with only 7703 miles on it.

Re: Operation tranny build starts this month!!

Man these trannys really suck if this all they can handle! Why doesn't anybody build anything to last anymore? I mean you have some good mods and pretty nice hp numbers but my god you're still N/A and your tranny is taking a dump already? How many 1/4 mile passes do you have on the tranny? This scares me.

Re: Operation tranny build starts this month!!

I don't know what you guys are doing to your trucks. I took my turbo system off for some tweaks and running the premium tune with 2 degree advance with the WOT restriction removed and it still feels just fine. And this is the stock tranny. No valve body mods or additional coolers. Maybe I just got a good one, just wish my a/c was the same. I'm on my 4th a/c repair in less then 2 years of ownership.

But then again, my next time at the track could be my last on the stock tranny.

Re: Operation tranny build starts this month!!

Have you considered Level 10 Transmissions? They also work on our trucks and are about 1K cheaper. Toomnymods isn't really happy with his IPT purchase and I don't blame him. $5k is a ton of money for a trans rebuild. It should handle 800+tq for that money.
