No but I do have one.
4.56 it's geared to what a factory truck would spin with the 35's
I just got off the phone with Tilden, they advised strongly against a stand-alone setup.. told me the gen3 was the best oem controller you could put in the truck.. they know what their doin so....
Thinking about swapping in a 305 ifs and a 700r4 again.
I have a 2wd 4l80 you could back up the 305 with.
I have a h.o. 305 laying in the barn you could have .
Do you do this 2wd or 4wd?
I do it in 4wd in my Jimmy all the time still have a perfect 700r4.
I have 70,000 miles on my 700r4. It has chirped the 35's going into second a ton of times. I also tow my 3000 pound boat in overdrive on none level ground, 170 miles round trip. I abuse it all the time.
it's in 2wd, I'm scared to try and do one in 4wd
Although a doughnut would be fun to try...As others have said there is no reason it shouldn't work for me. I just need a quality built trans this time by a reputable shop.

I don’t understand why you haven’t just been Ducato’d Yet. I’m sure @Greg Ducato would do ya right
Oh we told him like 15 tranny's ago that Greg ships transmissions
I still wanna make sure the controller and line pressure are correct
Controller is the factory gm 4l60e tune nothing changed other then the torque management set to 0. I have confirmed this with the tuner.
I wanted to try a local builder out and the race team guy pretty much built it for a 30 pack of Coors light and they built transmissions everyday. The warranty was hard to beat with free labor and parts at cost.
Have you put a pressure gauge to it then? I know that you probably don't want to buy it for just a few uses, but sometimes the information it can give is great.
I haven't, been working a lot of hours lately and haven't touched it. Hope this Saturday if I'm not working I can mess with it.
There’s a known issue with the 3-4 shift that causes 4th gear issues. Google for 5 min will tell you more.
Stephens blazer Wally has a 700r4 behind a 505 big block, they can live but you have to understand how to make them live, your burnouts with torque Managment off doesn’t fit with long term trans life.
Turning off TM makes me nervous. That’s the trans only chance to save itself
