Only problem is my tranny guy is in texas and I am in AL right now so I dont know what to do as far as that is concerned. When I go back over to Mj's house Ill shake it around and see if it makes any noise. There is still quite a bit of fluid in it I dont know how much Ill be able to get out of there but Ill try.

I am trying to get an idea of how it went down,did you already have the 6.0 in?Then recently do the TCI? And it lasted how long? and was it working perfectly from the time you first drove it?How the 6.0 ,feels like the 5.3 with a 100 shot?

No I still have the 5.3 the 6L is still a couple of months away. I blew the tranny back in Feb I got the tranny built and put the TCI in at the same time. Probably back in about may or june it started to not want to lock up. Well it has steadily gotten worse since then. I went to the track last friday night and it ran fine at the track with the nitrous I probably got about 5 passes on it. I have sprayed a total of about 14 bottles on it. Well on the way home from the track it didnt want to lock up as usual well it was alot worse this time it didnt want to lock up at all. So I played with the throttle a little as usual and finally it locked up. Then I had to stop for a red light and it took alot longer than usual to lock up. I went to work Sat and when I got home I pulled up next to my dads truck and I could hear some rattling in the transmisison so I got out with a block in front of the wheel(the pb doesnt work) and it was coming from the transmisison so I called the tranny guy and he told what it was thats where Is sit now with the transmission and t-case out of it with a fuddle on the way.

When I blew the tranny the first time and put it back in I got about 240 miles on it and apparently when i used a plastic hammer to tap the tc in it fractured the pump rotor so that went out and I had to pull it to get my guy top fix that then put it back in. Since then everything has been fine with the exception of the lock up problem shifts and all of that have been perfect.

Yup it was about 1 in the morning and I was pissed cause the converter just didnt want to go in so in my usual dumbass way when i get pissed "if it doesnt fit hammer the **** out of it" since then I have learned to have a little more patience so this time around Ill be a little more careful about it. It turns out that the input shaft had some kind of coating on it so thats why it was hard to get it into place on the third notch or setting or whatever you call it. I think Ill be able to handle it this time. Hopefully the converter holes will match up better than the TCI'scause they suck they should really get their measurements right.

someone mentioned they had a fuddle installed and to bolt the converter in there was no welded nuts you had to get a nut behind there to bolt it up,dam that seems nearly impossible since there is no dust cover like the earlier trannys.

I think I am just going to tac weld the bolts onto the tabs on the converter if that is true I read that also.
