1982 C/K 6.0L Caitlyn Mall Crawler (Interior time)

[Bent77]

What a epic race in the pits this was. We didn't finish came 5 miles short. Had multiple issues. If anyone is interested I'll do a trip report.

Builder has the trans, took a peek into it and said looks like I Babaganuked the Sprag but will call me tomorrow will an analysis. We talked about a 4l80e said if I keep blowing them up like this it might be the answer but we both agreed the built 4l60e should handle it just fine.

I'd be interested in the trip report if you don't mind

Me too. It's probably more interesting than seeing how fast of a tranny swapping time record Ben can set.

I'll post when I get home, currently leaving Johnson Valley

No, this thread is about Caitlyn. Quit hogging the spotlight.

Here's Ben riding shotgun with ChrisP at BB probably thinking about Caitlyn

Sweet hat

 

[K85 Octane]

Chris has what some people might call a tan. Some maybe a healthy sexy farmer's glow. Others, like those with Dr. in front of their last names, (excluding Dr. Seuss) would say sun damage.
So I let Ben barrow my extra hat.
Chris ain't afraid of no sun.

 

[Justin V]

I get it. Was talking about Ben's (apparently borrowed) sweet hat.

 

[Babaganoosh]

Haha, I burn easy and from az later in the day I get afraid of the sun.


Talked to the builder and it's on the bench for tomorrow. No rush we both are anxious to see what went wrong

Took the words right out of my mouth!

4TH trans report, blew up the rear sprag and the gear set looked like heat went through it....



Stupid failures I don't get it.

So does that mean that it was beyond your control?
That would be a little bit of a 'saving grace ' in my book.....
Still frustrating....but.

After thinking about it for awhile he mentioned it looked like lack of fluid and I had a clog. This would explain the soft shifts and the trans burning up.

I'm afraid it has been my fault and I caused a couple. I flushed it with 3 12oz cans so I don't know.

 

[Babaganoosh]

@miniwally I think we found the answer you were looking for and what we talked about. The last two were lack of fluid.

I think it is my fault, I think I have a clog in the radiator and it hasn't been flushed properly, I used 3 12 oz cans and split the directions.

I feel like a moron, I know better then this.
