TurbochargedBerserker Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 I think this truck is too heavy for a 65E with this much power. Seems like I lost the reverse input drum. Could be something else, I suppose, but I don't know what. I have all forward gears, and the neutral safety switch shows it in reverse, but there is nothing at the wheels. I made one 1/4 tuning run... During that run I believe it started slipping and I turned around let it cool off and started on the second run -- it spun all through 1st gear and jumped sideways on the shift, but then went really slow...

You may have to move up to the 80E and jerry-rig or ditch the AWD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurbochargedBerserker Posted March 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 I have a call into Chuck at FLP, but I'm thinking about switching -- its either that or never going to WOT for very long (like 11 seconds ). Oh, and I forgot to mention, I was only at 8psi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSLink Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Maybe talk to Zippy, and the guys at JAG too. I know FLP makes a good product but our new sponsor may have some ideas, too. I would exhaust the possibilities before doing anything more drastic. The biggest limitation we have adding big power to these trucks is the tranny. I love my SSS but sometimes still wish I had started out with a 2500 HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellbents10 Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 welcome to the club. Making stuff do what it was intended not to. I bet you are starting to get little fustrated but I wouldn't sweat it. You are getting to the point were you will have a fast ride once all is fixed. Remember, if you are not breaking parts its not fast enoguh. TJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vette dude Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 what about the 80-e where is jon, did he get the new parts yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurbochargedBerserker Posted March 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Well, Chuck doesn't know what to think... Since reverse went -- have to wait a see what he finds when he pulls it apart. I can say this, I'll either be doing another FLP or not a 65E. No offense meant to any vendors or Zippy, but I've already PAID for the FLP Either way, Chuck will be taking care of me. I honestly no longer really believe any 65E is ever going to hold this motor.

Just thought they might have some ideas on how to further beef up the 60/65. If the other thread is accurate and the 80E can now be adapted to the AWD Xfer case that would be the way to go for sure. Yours would probably be the perfect test setup. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 i think in this heavy of a truck the 6.0L on boost is acceptable with this trans, but the 6.7L is just too much torque on boost in a truck this heavy. you need an 85E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan06SS Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Erik: This thing just sounds like an absolute M O N S T E R... you may be the prime candidate to get that 80E setup and see if you can break it I have my doubts that even the most built 65E you can find is going to stand up to that much punishment. On the bright side... at least you know your making an absolutely SILLY amount of power! Congrats and good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurbochargedBerserker Posted March 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Strangely, hearing you guys congratulate me on breaking another tranny is somehow making me feel better. That's funny I'm with ya Zippy. If I'm even 90% of Parish's torque, that means 750 ft/lbs to the wheels. Plus with AWD making it hook, there's not a lot of room cushion there. We'll see what Chuck has to say when he gets it apart, but I'm not very hopeful. I'd let him keep developing if there is any hope, but breaking the thing the first time I make full power both times is kind of a bad sign IMO.

zippy Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 what you might have to do is change your timing tables. sort of a self built torque management. guys running nitrous use a window switch to control this, you might have to come out off idle and drop timing on the shifts just to get it to hold together until you get an 85E in there.
