How much TM do you have left in it? Knock on wood, still rocking the stock 60E with minor mods and 70% TM left in.

Well if you supercharged guys are still rocking this far along with the 60/65E then I wont hesitate to do the same. Not near the same amount of instant torque with the turbo as those maggies.


Oh and I feel like I forgot to say congrats on the new PB! Anything under 12.00 is fast to me, let alone in a big *** ecsb 4WD truck like these!

I'm just really lucky, but I also roll into the throttle most every time and no WOT 4-2 downshifts for me

I wouldn't recommend the 60/65E for any boosted truck. Go 80E from the beginning. Learn from my experience please. I have almost $10K into this damn 65E over the course of about 4 years, and that's just paying for bench jobs. Add the R&R labor to that if you pay a shop to R&R your transmission.

I kept "convincing" myself that the next build would be stronger, and I'd lighten up on my driving habits. But the simple truth is, the 60/65E is just too light duty for the hp/weight ratio.

I've been driving like this as much as possible. I think I'm on borrowed time now, as my most recent build is about 10 months old now......

Every time I go WOT, I think "is this the last one, is this when she finally says no more?"
