id rather take my odds with a 80E than a 60E anyday.

Notice I titled the thread "my 80e". I still have faith in the 80e just not the one presently in my truck.

Agreed. Just clutch crud I could live with at this point. Hard parts breaking floating around is another matter. I've changed my mind about running it till it craps out. The trans is coming out and the spare going in.

Who installed the shift kit? Was it the HD-2
kit with the clutch springs, and HD sprag?

Oh man, aint that the truth!

Hey Roger, are those chunks magnetic? They don't look to be metal from the pics...at first I thought that it was actually one of the pan magnets broken up into pieces, then I noticed that the chunks had different thicknesses and an almost "rubbery" look to them...
