Hey Guys,
Had my overdrive light start blinking and the transmission started shifting hard.
Took it to a reputable shop I trust.
The mechanic hooked up his code reader and went for a ride with me. Can't remember the codes he got but it included something about 2 different speed sensors having errors and not reading.
He pulled the pan and found a bunch of metal and said I need to get the transmission rebuilt. They have a local builder do their rebuilds.
The mechanic recommends getting a larger pan, larger cooler, and temperature gauge along with the rebuild.
I know nothing about transmissions but I know there are options with the different parts and brands.
The truck is stock but I plan on slowly building it up a bit with a goal of around 400 horse and want to make sure the transmission can handle it. I do not want to have to go through this expense again anytime soon.
Question is what do I need to make sure is being done to the transmission for the rebuild and what is worth paying a little extra for?
As long as the transmission is out, they are going to go ahead and install a turbo back exhaust with egt sensor and get rid of my leaking non functioning EBPV with a delete set up.
Thanks,
Wes
