So was it the shell? I totally missed the confirmation of diagnosis?

Rear sprag blew up and gear set showed bluing from heat. We believe my radiator is plugged up and can't be flushed even though I ran 3 cans of cleaner through it and came out clean every time I was done.

You don't have a pinch or kinked line anywhere? I know it's trivial and stupid. Just thinking out loud.

I typically remove the gm fittings and do adapters to go to -6 an fittings and run to radiator or external cooler. i find them easier to route and easier to replace

I have those fancy -an fittings with steel braided line. It has less bends then the factory did and bigger to.

Do you have a way of verifying flow rate through the cooling loop?

 

[ClassicStyle]

That's all I got.


Haha

They told me 30 seconds of run time is a quart of fluid to the cooler. When I install it they want to me to test this theory.

I have given up a long time ago on theory lol

How about port pressure?

 

[Babaganoosh]

How about port pressure?

I asked them about it and they were not sure. .ore old school technology .

I have looked it up by gm specific but with my trans having go fast parts I bet it will register higher pressure.


I plan on having both on hand.

 

[Bent77]

Might be old school technology, but no/low pressure at the port means lockup issues which means heat

I'm going to have to gm tech 2 on hand to monitor the ecm also.


I'm going to need like 3-4 people when I fire it up.

It was the first time I launched the truck power breaking it. I didn't noticed I was near one...

Tomorrow is Sunday. Maybe you should ask for forgiveness and confess your sins. Tranny molester

I thought I did it, I even told it was going to be good this time and we would enjoy a long time together.

Just loose the radiator cooler, I had the same issue with mine being plugged and toasted one converter before I put a gauge and huge massive cooler on it to bypass the oem. Haven't had a problem since and it'll still get to 160-170 in 20s ambient temp..

Are you really sure you want a priest helping you set up your tranny tune?
