The demise of my Cummins trans

[Meat_]

It does have 3.07s but it also has tiny tires. It is the stock ratio and tire size.

...He hated trans so much he bought a 6.0 powerstroke...

And that has worked out real well for him

215/85/16?

 

[Meat_]

Yup... at least I'm pretty sure on the 85. They are small

 

[Talon]

how's your bumper?

Karma dude.

 

[The Stranger]

That sucks. I have almost 190k on my original auto and it is working flawlessly, but im sure that my day will come soon enough. Probably in miserable weather just like yours.

I'm pulling the trucks down this weekend with a 6 speed manual cummins. That thing is amazing, I really like how low the RPMs are at freeway speeds.

Tim's 1997 12v automatic trans sucked b*lls. He hated trans so much he bought a 6.0 powerstroke.

I didn't think anything could suck bad enough to that route!?!?

I didn't know that was an option this year of trucks??? It's great to learn!

I thought flushing and fluid could speed up the death of an auto if its going out, especially slipping? Thats what I heard anyway.

Good luck!

I heard the same. just change the fluid and filter.

 

[Rot Box]

Chemical flushes break loose a lot of junk in the system, and in return plug the filter and run the transmission dry--ask me how I know

A lot of auto maker strongly advise this practice and it can also void a warrantee

It's hard to completely change the fluid because a lot will remain in the torque converter so most of the time it's best to have a shop do it... If you trust them :-\

Remember that I have a duallie

Chemical flushes...

FAIL I'm just talking about a full fluid exchange

It's around $250 at the stealership, they pump new fluid through the system

I meant to quote solidfrontaxle I think he was talking about the Chemical Flush...

Pumping new fluid in is great. Overlooked by most that have trucks that tow :-\

I would put a lunch on it that it has factory 3.55 or 4.10 from the factory. I'm pretty sure that 3.07 was only in the early 727 non od trannies. It should say in your glove box.

 

[Meat_]

The build sheet is where I got the 3.07 from

Where you buying lunch?

I'm not convinced.

 

[Meat_]

I'm not convinced.

Quiet you!

 

[sixb]

I'm not convinced.

yeah I'm not convinced either. Looks like we need to open up your diffs.

 

[benjy]

Can't you just jack it up and count rotation of drive shaft v. tire?

 

[Tacoma]

Well yeah, but that's no fun. Are you new here?

 

[Bart]

Yum, when/where's lunch. BTW, I felt the tranny, well, I almost felt it shake a bit, after Meat was through running red lights and stuff.

 

[Meat_]

Feel free, just make sure to use synthetic oil and The Right stuff when you put it back together
