I think an update is in order..
On Tuesday I towed my truck 150 miles to a dyno facility for dyno tune. While on the dyno I developed a "knock"
On Weds I towed it back to my shop
Today we removed the oil pan to find that my windage tray that had been clearanced for the stroker and spaced away, with spacers, had come loose and was hitting the crankshaft.. WHEW!
Anyway easy fix!! Only prob is that we did not get to finish the dyno tune! So I am back on the waiting to be rescheduled plan.. (took about 5 weeks for 1st appointment)(and I needed every minute of it to finish up!) Anyhow looks like it will be a few more weeks before I get in..
Anyhow Just thought I would keep you guys up to date!
Thanks again for all the kind words! Take care!

Holy crap that was you? Yeah I talked to you for a minute. You should have said something. I was looking forward to maybe seeing your truck out there. Hopefully at another Test & Tune. BTW, thanks for putting my tailgate down

I was getting paranoid that my tranny was going to get tired of taking the abuse so that run I did when you opened my tailgate was my last one.

I would never take it to three-way. I drove all the way to Santa Barbara to buy mine when 3-way had the same truck, just so they didn't get my money. Any time I have a problem with my cars I go to Richland in Shafter. They are real good to work with there. I have a grand total of 9000 miles on it. Do you know anybody who does good tranny work?
