After pulling my tranny 4 freakin times it's all good and runs like a champ!!! It ended up. Ring my clutch an pressure plate I got for it... I bought a spec stage 3 to replace the one that wasn't working, had to use a 1/8 shim behind slave cylinder... Even go my first kill today, bone stock 06 Mustang GT 5 spd my 1st 2nd & 3rd gear pull hard as hell!!! Need to upgrade to 4.11's though can hardly use 6th gear at 85 mph it's at 1700rpm's

Kren you are probably going to want to go higher than that. What is your overall tire height? If you are running 29" or taller, you are going ti want 4.88 gears.

Congrats on the kill.

Agreed! Im roll'n at 75mph the same rpm's with the 4.88's then when my 5 speed had the 4.10's in it...


Alrighty guys so update... remember i said the service brake system warning came on along with the ABS light and the red parking brake light? Well now on dry pavement its acting like im on black ice coming to a stop. It did it once maybe twice when i first got it back yesterday, but now its doing it more often. The ABS kicks in and it acts like it's hitting ice. Could that be the tune? The brake fluid is full, so ik it aint that....

Your problem is the sensor in the tranny is and your wheel sensors for the abs system aren't jiving, and re brake system is look loosing its mind.

holy crap... i just happened to be looking at our sponser's sites and guess what i just stumbled upon.........

Black Bear Performance :: Custom Tuning Solutions for 96 and newer GM Vehicles


Go the the 2nd to last one... "Can your tunes correct my speedometer for oversize tires/aftermarket gears?"

I think i just figured out my problem with it...

I was also talking to Quik over at ls1trucks and this is what he said...

"if your speedo is plugged in and assuming it is, then the tune needs adjusted for the correct trans revs per mile. a T56 has a different reluctor ring then a nv3500 and when swapping gears this throws the tire calculation off so abs and speedo wont read right"


he's only about 2 hrs from me so if he can i might just take it down there and have him tune the girl

My truck is running like a champ after the rear end build!
Got a kill last night. I raced a Joe Gibbs ECSB supercharged. From the dead stop I got him pretty good, I think he was spinning. On the 20 roll man that was a good race. I was ahead by like a fender! The whole night I was trying to race him again.
P.S. It was the one that was sold on here, it's one hell of a clean truck, in and out.
