    Forscan Help

    Don’t get me started on transmissions. My tranny is at the build shop for a 3rd time. Trans tune is okay. They won’t do much custom through Livernois.

    Forscan Help

    I never did get anything resolved with tire size in Forscan. With an SCT tuner, they have an option to adjust gears/tires. Could try that method. With Livernois, the only way to change the Speedo is to get them to make an adjustment in their tune. I've asked multiple times and requested a...

    Any transmission guru's in here??

    lol. King Dingaling. I needed a laugh. Thanks man. New? Probably a lot less than I've got wrapped up in my tranny.

    Any transmission guru's in here??

    All in all, with the added power, drive train has been pretty solid. I have axle exchange drive shaft. I had the rear diff oil checked when my slipping occurred. All looked good there. No glitter and the gears looked clean. Had the shop not messed up the harness and let it sit on the header...

    I've went through the suspension since then. BKZ upper control arms, BKZ tie rod kit, new tie rods, new bushings, camber delete kit, fox 3.0 Gen 2 DSC up front, 3.0 Bypasses in the back. I have deaver +3's to install on the back, but my drop shackles just shipped. RPG traction bars will be...

    Long story - If you're transmission is 100% jacked, I'd try to find a low mileage salvage yard one. If they give it some kind of warranty, I'd go with it. Circle D and MS Racing are both in the neighborhood of $6500-$7500. Circle D has longer lead time.

    Any transmission guru's in here??

    My build is not normal. I'm pushing 730 whp. My problems started when I was pulling a car trailer loaded with 4500 lb car. On the way back, tranny started acting all kinds of weird. Searching for gears. I ASSUMED that it was spent. In reality what happened there, nothing was wrong with...

    Any transmission guru's in here??

    Only obvious symptom that I notice is in reverse. MAYBE a slight slipping in D once I shift from R to D when backing out of somewhere. But nothing in 3rd and 5th. I've had some good pulls in forward gears and I've not noticed anything else. I have a local shop R&R the transmission. I wish...

    Any transmission guru's in here??

    I'll just give the latest on my transmission. The 2nd time I got it back, all seemed to be good. Then I started feeling a catching in reverse. I thought - Maybe it's the parking brake/brakes. I replaced all rotors and pads, and installed those. No change. Adjusted the parking brake many...

    So the drum brake for the e-brake is a thing? I guess that makes sense. I did install some moritomo Xb headlights and was using the e-brake a few times to check drl and turn signals. Dang it. Oh well, I’ll fix it and move on. Thanks all.

    Had an old racer guy stop by that likes to chat about going fast. I was describing my chatter/rubbing that I feel in reverse. He said he had a very similar problem on a truck that had rear disc brakes. After replacing all of his rotors and pads, he found the problem to be the small emergency...

    Called Ford with the VIN. Ford Part number is 9L3Z7052C. Crossed it to the National Oil and Seal part number, 710673, but no stock anywhere that I can find. Ordered the OEM through Ford.

    They won't order the seal until they have the transfer case dropped. Seal is $20 bucks or so. It is likely that one of the parts stores will have to order the seal. My logic was that they could save a day by not having to order the seal, and if I by chance do get the wrong one or it's...

    If anyone has that rear seal part number, that would be great? Timken? National Seal? SKF? Is there a brand preference? The timken listed does not say whether it's for 4WD. Shows that it crosses to OEM Part numbers: 6L2P7052AA, 6L2Z7052AA The SKF 15165 shows for 6.2L with 4 WD, but...

    The shop said they don't have to fully drop the transmission for the rear seal. Just the transfer case. So going to get a new seal ordered. The bulk head connector looked dry. I know this has been asked and I will search, but anything to stay away from on the brakes? I thought I would get...

    The shop told me late this afternoon that my rear seal on the transmission is leaking. They told me that they’d need to drop the transmission to change the seal. What are your all thoughts on that? I’m going to go and get some pics tomorrow and then maybe I can get some more input. For the...

    The bulkhead connector, that looks like a strong possibility. I sent them the link to the youtube video (lol). Thank you all on that. I'll crawl under there and check it out tonight. Got an appointment at the shop for Tuesday, 9/25. The rubbing thing in reverse has got me perplexed as...

    Here's a summary. I had MS Racing in Florida rebuild my transmission. Fully built, supposed to handle up to 1200 WHP. After about 2 months, a solenoid on the valve body stuck, and this in turn allowed the lower planetary to fail as well as the one way clutches. The valve body was installed...

    Rear bump stop kit - Gen 1

    Does anyone have a rear bump stop kit they’d let go? Deaver springs should arrive Friday. Thought I’d kick a few rocks here before I drop $$ for new.

    First performance mod?

    I'm running the Livernois tune. I'm pretty happy with it. If you are close to TX, there's a shop called HPP that will do custom dyno tuning. I will visit them one day. I'm running ARH headers with Stainless Works exhaust. Loud as shit and I do have a little drone. It's all about the goals...

    @Gumby Man I always have fun going to the drag strip. I always learn something - Good or bad. My front end is pretty solid. Blitz UCA, fresh bushing on LCA, Fox 3.0 DSC Gen 2 shocks, and Blitz tie rod kit. I'm going to do some research and see how to adjust the RPG traction bars. I assumed...

    Tranny fluid? Maybe I’m being dense, but why would that happen? Built tranny from MS Racing.

    Well, I said that I’d go and I did. 1st launch - horrible. 4hi and launched at about 1800 rpm. Back started to bounce so bad that I thought I broke something. Somehow that threw it into limp mode. Made it back around, cleared the codes and all seemed okay. Made a 2nd pass in 2wd and still...
