Based on your times, at that altitude, I would say you don't have a flash. (Yet)

I ran 13.148 at 104.46 on drag radials at Darlington SC on the 10th. Altitude is around 150 ft. You can see my mods in my sig. My 60' sucked, so I could have been in the 12.9 area with better 60's.
Your clunking could be the rear diff, spare tire, or u-joints. Probably not trans, but get it checked by someone that knows these trucks.

I ran a 13.3 at Speedworld last winter around this time. At the time i just had a flash and drag radials. All the other QC there was running 13.6-13.8. So the time seems respectable for your area. The 1.9 60 also seems good. My best 60 was 2.0 with the Drag Radials.

i am looking to get the tranny fixed right now, i looked at the tranny fluid yesterday and the color was more like cranberry juice than the normal red color. not sure if the previous owner had the fluid changed or not

Until you get the tune that will keep happening.................. And from a dig, you got to be crazy to race a jeep from a dig!

Have you done any thinking about what would be the best and easiest conversion to an automatic trans for our RC's? We all know that the fastest and most consistent way to the end of 1320 feet is via an automatic...what have thought about?

i bet it would cost a ton especially if u had f/i, then the transmission would have to built, on top of all the fab work and adapters. but i guess one could do it.
Just wondering...don't spend any time on it Tony...but I bet with a little research we could find an auto that could be built for the task and we could have a adapter plate made...maybe a Lenco...

48RE can be built to handle 1500+ft/lbs of TQ. No adapter would be required there is one dowel location that must be moved. Modify the block or the tranny. Then you add the TCM controller and flash your PCM.
the 48re is not gonna handle the power of a big hp truck.........periodpokeytemplar said:

What is the HP limit of a fully build 48RE then?
abotu 700hp or so maybe a touch more. but the probs with the 48re is not its strength but the way the fluid pressures is handled.
it was designed for the doosals, which ramps pressure slowly, the strength of the tranny is awesome, but its fluid transfer is what needs work

is there a full manual valve body availble so you can do away with the pressure solenoid?
also since we are talking trannys, Why not a 4l80e? its overdrive and electronic and can be built to handle tons of hp all day long?
