I have about 4k into this Trans already. I have a warranty. I can't walk away from it. Not yet. I have hope. Lol

How many miles did you have on it before it broke? Also, are the numbers hp numbers in your sig still what you are putting down? Sucks this happened, I'm looking into transmissions right now myself

Off memory I wanna say under 2k miles. Not many at all. The truck has been down a lot this year. 3 times for Trans and 1 engine rebuild. All projects have taken a lot longer than I thought from waiting on parts and sometimes me taking my time putting it back together.

Worst part is I missed the lsx shoot out and the big local race. I was planning on competing at both of those which is why I did all this work.

Truck makes right around 500 wheel. If I can keep a transmission in it, it's ready to be cranked up.

Ugh, that stinks! I'm really leaning towards a built 4l60 because I can keep my converter (damn thing was expensive) without having to change that too. After hearing this, I'm leaning towards FLT 4l80e now.
