Interesting..........I'm going to try and do something that maybe few have done.

Oh, just some food for thought.......I have a trans cooler on it now, it's nos too big but alot bigger than the stocker and a deep trans pan, also in which holds two extra qts of fluid. So with being said, if the tc isn't working properly and moving fluid like it should(the lock noise I'm hearing) then this could be my overheating problem. I'll tell Fuddle to send me another one and install the new one again and if it's not right, then I'm going to get a yank or something. This sucks to have to do this again. oh well, gotta pay to play I guess.....

Yeah, it's kinda like that but it sounds like the fins in the verter are doing something funny..........it only does it when the verter trys to lock-up. Like when it's trying to lock-up in 4th or 3rd gear. I called Fuddle this morn and their prolly closed for the holidays so I'll call them on wed or so.

Let you drive it!!???!!!! I don't think so........I've seen your truck !! JK. The verter works fine accept for the groanning noise or the finning noise. With this little prob with the tc, I think this is why I'm having high trans temps too. I'll answer my phone....call me later today if your wife will let you.... Im heading down to Houston tonight when Jennifer gets off work. I won't be back @ home until wednesday...oh wait, I don't know when you posted this...I'm a dumbass , my bad!!

Im in Houston lol. Check the tc bolts too one may have come loose causing a harmonic from the snout of the verter in the back of the crank.
