Originally posted by Shah Mat What has happened to transmissions? Does anyone remember the TH400? C6? A small aftermarket cooler and you could tow the space shuttle without any worries. Sure, they are not as efficient as automatics of today. It seems manufactures have lost sight of heavy duty quality in the quest for .5 more mpg using smaller lighter rotating parts which cannot take the heat. Up to a few years ago the T400 existed. Well sort of. It was renamed the 4L80E. The T400 was upgraded with a 4th gear and electronic controls. It still retained the awsome strength and durability of the old T400. I know that GM was putting this transmission in all the heavy duty (2500-3500) trucks gas or diesel. I'm not sure if they are still using for the non-Allision automatics in the new trucks. |
Originally posted by craig223 Brian, I'm going to give you a call. I need to make a phone call to the owner of the place where I have my boat stored. I'll ask her if we can keep it there (fenced-in lot w/ security);) The only problem is how can we get that beast to the lot. I really don't feel like blowing my trannie up today!!:eek: :eek: The lot is at Rt. 1 and Telegraph Rd. Craig 202-224-5499 |

Lets face it ALL the Truck manufacturers are not making traniesu up to par with the power the engines are putting down. I could hold on to the back of most of them and FART and pull them backwards...... of course after eating a 7-11 chilli cheeze dog :D:D
