3/4 had a booboo. not sure exactly, if Vince wants to chime in I'll let him explain. all i know is he fixed it up. and Andy handled my ton of phone calls and questions. i do know that the rest of the trans was in great shape. Andy said they could still read the words on the other parts, so that's good news to me.

Sponsor Feedback was a lil further down. That's one thing I like about FLT. Always willing to help where they can. Getting my trans ready to be shipped back for new bands. Probably have to wait till next week for obvious reasons.

the trans thus far has been great! the shifts are amazing, half the time you can bearly tell that you just went through 4 gears. looking at my logs, it shift almost the same exact spot ever time at wot. and the out put shaft when i took it out wasn't twisted like my last one was. so thats a big plus.

The billet output shaft sounds like the way to go with these heavy trucks and force induction. thanks for the info looking forward to getting my level 7. Are you vacuum modulated?

nope they recommend letting the computer do its job. set the setting to stock and set your wot point where you want them. they do all the pressure stuff inside the trans.

FLT told me the same thing over the phone. they said better to let the computer do its job on a daily driver like my truck. thank for all the info. keep me posted on how your trans works for ya!
