I'm a fan of flogging

If it's gonna let loose, do it now and get it over with. If it can't take the abuse, it'll shit later anyway

 

[Babaganoosh]

Ahh, hell... no break-in required !
As long as it's working , go for it!

I am glad that you are getting to drive it!

How eould you go about breaking in a trans? This video was probably after 8 miles on the trans hehe.

The bed is completely full of trash, it is nice to have something again.

Thanks to @Countrycholo he hooked me up with a 31 gallon blazer tank for free. It was slightly damage in the pinch weld area of the halves going together. We are pretty sure it is fine though

Long bed burnouts? I got a update coming in just for you soon.

Fancy green tape.

Would have thought after the first five or so trans you would learn to be nice at least for awhile. No reason to abuse the crap out of it, not like its like you fifth one or something.

 

[Babaganoosh]

I only did it for the video, other then thst I have been nice to it and monitoring everything the ecm is doing

Like @bent72 says, as soon as you get the oil level right, see what it will take!
It's not like you hooked on to 10K Lbs.

My fat block truck gave the little 700R some full throttle fun as soon as the oil was full. The trans temp gauge was still close to 100.

 

[Babaganoosh]

Highest I have seen the oil tenon was 155 and as far as in concerned I'm not worried till it's 200

I've never been told there's a break in.. just run it and if it stays cool driving normal see what it'll take raping it. Just don't overheat it and watch the fluid color for contamination.. that's it

 

[beags86]

There is no break in for a trans. Fill with oil and

I thought you were being nice to it, ran it up to only 5K and was pretty mild with no burnout.

Haha I was in 2nd gear for this reason.

Congrats on finally getting to drive this thing. I'm sure your happy.

Only have gone about 5 miles at a time so we will see. Don't have the fan wired up yet

 

[Truckman4life]

Brake stands and burnouts will kill it quick. Otherwise you'll be ok. I'd prob change the trans fluid after a few hundred miles if you have a drain plug and can just do a dump and fill to get the break in debris out of there.

 

[JoshHefnerX]

I think the chances of you getting a bad transmission go down after so many..

 

[6872xtc]

I thought that you put the cooler in front of the radiator. Is that correct?
If so , you can do more driving than that. It's not that hot out , even were you are.
Airflow from the truck moving does a lot.

Yes it's in the front.





@skunked this one is for you.

 

[Babaganoosh]

I did notice last night I have a slight vibration, does my angle look ok? I know I need to add and little more caster it's at about 4, I would prefer 6 the wheel doesn't like to rotate back to center without me turning it.
