Sounds good. Just have him give a holler and we can get him taken care of.

Totally normal. The ECM varies the pressure to maintain a smooth idle. Mine fluctuates between 6400 and 7200 at idle.

Only got a little work done today; had two other trucks to get done. Installed the new 2.5 apply lever, the new 2nd servo servo and the OD piston. That's about all I got done. Here's the 2.5 that Jeff gave me to go with the VB vs the 5.0 that was in there. The 5.0 would have put too much...

Yeeeeeeah, that's the BOMB'r. It wasn't a tear though, it's simply snearing at the transmission.....taunting it.....letting it know that it has evil intentions for it when it goes back in.....just reminding it that it's comfy little life getting massaged in the shop is going to come to an...

That's right where it should be. The '03 and '04 trucks idle at ~5K psi. The 04.5+ trucks idle at ~6.8K psi. The 03/04's have and 8 hole injector nozzle with smaller holes, requiring less pressure to atomize. The 04.5+ use a 5 hole nozzle with larger holes. And yes, the motors on some of...

That's the same think I was thinking. That P7100 is the most reliable pump they had. Did they say why there were replaing the IP......not that i'd really be complaining if I was getting a new one.

Today was "clean the trans and get it ready for assembly" day. Started cleaning everything up and decided to repaint the case. I think I found the perfect color and texture for it. Black and Hammered! All the parts from here are the over drive sections.....

That's actually not a water separator, it's just a pre-screen to keep trash out of the lift pump. And yes, that can get funked up.

The 12V has a mechanical lift pump. And yes, 45 psi is ideal on the P-pump. The VP44 and CP3 likes to be between 10 - 20 psi, with 13 - 17 bing ideal.

Doesn't sound like a trans issue. If you have your foot buried and there's no power, the trans isn't going to upshift, it thinks the motor is loaded down. It sounds like a fuel issue. First thing I would check is the fuel pressure to the pump and change the fuel filter. If you have good...

Governor springs in the pump. The stock springs start pulling fuel back right in that range and by the time you hit 60 MPH, the truck only makes about 60 HP. Swap the gov springs for a 3K set, or 4K if you upgrade the valve springs and it's a whole different animal. Also, check the fuel...

Valve body is all set. Just waiting on some trans parts to get here now.

Already in the works.

Well, good thing I broke the trans down. The clutch packs and band were SMOKED. I had 2 sets of steels and frictions that were welded together and the band was nicely burned. Mmmmmm.....check out this little bit of sexyiness.

And while it's down, I figured I'd replace the other electronics that are a known PITA.....the fuel control actuators on the CP3's.

Soooooo, the BOMB'r is back on the lift. I lost 1st gear the other day and could not figure out what the hell was going on. If it was in drive, it was trying to start in 2nd or 3rd, but when you applied throttle, it would try to go to first and just stop. It still had reverse and 3rd...

Yup. Just look at posts 277 and 278.

Yeah, that was just screwing around. If I turn the fuel all the way up, turn the torque management all the way down, turn the timing all the way down and floor mat it with no boost, it'll damn near spit raw fuel out the exhaust. But, tuned how it normally is and should be, the smoke isn't...

Exhaust you say...... This is about as close a video I have of it. Sorry, it's just a 'lil ole 6 cylinder.... :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLeOH9L6p2Y http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEK-cNPpV5w

Okay, now here is where I have to give a HUGE thanks to Edge Products. Aaron at Edge Products contacted me during the build. He told me that he'd like to upgrade the monitor I had on the Juice with Attitude to one of the newer CS or CTS monitors. I told Aaron that I no longer had the Juice...
