OK, last one for now. I'm not trying to post *****. A friend of mine had his trans rebuilt. He claimes the tranny guy used a vette converter instedd of the truck converter. To me it did seem to stall a little higher, he clames 2500, I think its closer to about 2000, but it is probably somewhere between that.

I know this is getting off topic here, but when my son was learning to do jumps, he was staying sitting down, and hurting his back when he landed. I kept telling him how to do it, and my wife told me to just show him. So in front of the whole neigborhood, I haul ***, jump, and land. Upon landing, the suspension bottoms out, and I go over the handle bars. As I slowly limp back to where he is standing I say ok you saw how to do it, any questions? His reply.... Yea dad, do I land like that too. Damn kids. If I hadn't have just busted my *** I could have caught the little bastard too
