Default New Converter & Transmission

-Level 4 4L65E (Local builder)
-Yank SS4000

just finished them up COMPLETELY the other night... man does it feel good, no more dragged out 1-2 shifts... its just ******* there. traction is pretty much non existant on the street now even at 25-30mph

cant wait to get some new times on it as i think this was the main thing holding my setup from doing 12s at MIR (that and running in 90*) but hopefully i will have some video soon enough


one thing i found odd though was my ABS light was off the whole time we took the truck out for a beat... then i was backing in my driveway to call it a night and the ABS light kicked on... i never checked it after that to see if it was still on but wonder why it woulda did that, i dont remember unplugging it at all???

The ABS light should go away. I know when I spin my rears up (especially on ice and snow) the light has come on. I think it is because the ABS senses a difference in speed from the front to the rear and puts the light on because it thinks the sensors are not reading correctly. Once the sensors read properly again it puts the light out.

Sounds great....good luck at the track!
