Tru Trac, 10 bolt diff advice

Daryl, you were right. The 2 missing oil valley's were about welded over with worn casing material. It took a small chisel to knock it loose then had to dremel them out. It probably would have run hot from lack of oil and wore out very quick.
You saved me bubba.....thank you !!!

Oh, ok got ya. Less rotational mass and should have a bit higher shift extensions.
How does it feel day to day? Would be nice to here a first hand opinion on it. My guess would be a tighter feel due to the smaller pump keeping it more efficient at that speed.

The old converter\setup would shift at 6050 rpm and drop to 4800, which was still in my peak torque area...about 410 rwtq. There is a dyno sheet in my album. Peak tq hits around 4600 rpm

Pretty crazy... but I drove the 3600 Pro almost daily, and it was like stock feel till you hammer it. Foot off the brake and it would go like a stock converter. This new SS 3600 doesn't even move with my foot off the gas. Totally different truck now. Takes some peddle to get her to roll at all. Really loose converter. I haven't really got to launch it hard yet, but hope to pick up a little power down low.

Why not wind it out a little further? Looks to be making peak power around 6.2k, shift 6.5k or so.

We took EFI live to the track on day one (very first pass was 11.49), and every time we added 100 rpm to the shifting after 6100 rpm, it lost a tenth in ET. We then went back to 6050-6100 area and was back on our game.

That is a head scratcher for sure... very odd especially since its running a FAST intake manifold. Hell what puts down the numbers go with it lol
