Realizing I am a little late to the SRT-10 party and sure most here know about this I thought I would pass this along to those that are new and not up on ALL the ins and outs with our trucks. :dontknow:
When Scott modified my tranny he ordered a torque converter from a “REPUTABLE†tranny guy.
The “REPUTABLE†tranny guy sent him a stall converter in 10†diameter. This if perfectly fine if you are only going to drag race the truck but if you are gonna use it as a DD then beware that our QC’s came with a “13†converter. Difference------HEAT, and lots of it. DD our 10’s builds up so much heat that it quickly burns the converter clutches which stops up the filter then totals the tranny. 10 grand and 3 rebuilds later I learned the lesson. Scott’s fault, nope, he admits he is not an automatic transmission guy and relied on the ‘EXPERT†to send the right converter. Bottom line, the “REPUTABLE†“EXPERT†tranny guy did not ask the right questions of his customer. PATC in Bossier City La. diagnosed the problem, fixed it and all is well. :rock: Rusty at TCS is the ‘REPUTALBE EXPERT†that cost me a ton of money and refused to honor any kind of warrantee and lied to boot.
It is running great with almost 10,000 miles since the overhaul and now runs like it is supposed to. Smoked a Beamer last night from a 40mph rolling. He wanted to keep ahead of me and that was not meant to be. Floor boarded the gas and it jumped into 2nd smoking the tires. I let off after I was 3 lengths ahead. All is well that ends well. :rock::rock::rock:
