SECOND CHANCE RIG & Second Chance 2.0

Re: SECOND CHANCE RIG

Thank you for posting the pics. It wasn't much better of a ride on the inside lol. Glad The Lord seen fit for me to stop on the first roll...

Re: SECOND CHANCE RIG

Got a trans question. The last hill I was on was at Rush, the transmission stopped pulling on both my attempts. With that being said another new built transmission is going into Second Chance. When the powertrain was in my last rig it had a Dana 300 t-case now it has a built 205. I ran a 10in 3500 stall with the Dana 300. What are suggestions to run with the 406, 350 turbo, 205 trans with 5.13 gears? Thank you for any help.

Best advise I can give is call PTC tell them all your specs and get a custom converter that way there is no guessing! They have built pleanty of them for bouncers now!

x2 on PTC,
Also: stall converters, 44s, & 205s tend to really overheat a transmission... Make sure you are doing everything you can to keep your fluid as cool as possible

Re: SECOND CHANCE RIG

2.52 (turbo 350 1st gear) x 1.97 (205 low range) x 5.13 (diff gears) = 25.47

10% Worse crawl ratio than a stock Jeep on 27s ... & you're turning 44s , almost completely off the converter :****:

Re: SECOND CHANCE RIG

Thank you all, I'll get a hold of PTC....

Re: SECOND CHANCE RIG

The two ladies (Buggies) got to finally meet each other at AOP September 5th. Was a very humbling site to see both Second Chance and Lady Luck side by side and an honor to trail ride some as well.

Re: SECOND CHANCE RIG

Very cool pics of both of them together. You guys did a heck of a job on the buggies.

Re: SECOND CHANCE RIG

Thank you!

Re: SECOND CHANCE RIG

Thanks as well, Taylor and I spoke along the way of the Lady Luck build and this day was along time coming ! Sorry I missed it but glad my wife was able to make it happen!

Re:

Just curious what ptc had to say?

Re: SECOND CHANCE RIG

I never reached out to them, ran out of time to make it to the next ride. I went with an 11in 1600 torque converter . When we road at AOP on the 5th buggy felt like it use to again.

Re: SECOND CHANCE RIG

Is the trend turning to 4Cyls now ?

I'm still small block but Brantley is all about a yota
