if you didnt read my last post about the possible torque converter damage that was done by me at the drag track.
well i took it in this morning to the local chevy house. they drove it and said it was shifting a little funny and felt a little slugish
you damb right it does you punch the gas and a little later it nocks the hell out of you.
they checked the fluid and added a little and said they couldnt do any thing else unless it was on the stock 16" wheels.
that really sucks because i bought it from my chevy dealer i have used for every vehicle i have owned with 18" on it. the shop forman said well i guess you will have to take it to abilene to get it fixed
then they said it could be the 22" wheels messing with the programing or something. that is **** because it was doing it worse with the 18" wheels. so now i am going to call the dealer in abilene and tell him what is up and see what he says. if they keep screwing with me i will just fry the tranny and order a 4l65e and a I5 converter for my grandpa truck.
also one of the guys that works at the shop asked me if i had been racing it. of course i said yeah but it was doing this before. he than said that these transmissions are not made to handle horsepower.
**** i am almost at stock horsepower number for right now.
the morale of the story is:
small town chevy houses suck
4l60E suck really bad
they should cancel the production of the 4l60e
