I had a 97' F150 4x4 with the 5.4 and it towed well for what it was. Mine had a missfire too when I got it, 140K on the original plugs. Then had to replace 3 coils in over the next 2 years. I didnt think it was to hard either, I just loosened the fuel rai and worked around it. I put 8K loaded...

I took 90% of the slop out of my dodge box by adjusting the preload on the top screw. Dont overdue it but I felt no need for the stabilizer afterwards. You should also look into the Borgenson aftermarket box. It is based off a newer delphi design and I low mine, have about 4K miles on it...

Mine is a 98' 12v. It just has a simple little screw and locknut. Mine has alot less wiring related to the motor than a 24v:redneck: I think with the 24V it is all computer controlled. My buddies have 01 and 02 24v with manual trannies and you do not need to give them throttle when letting...

Im open to any ideas, I am by no means a pro. The only reason I thought it was the idle was I never had the problem before this tranny and it seems like I idled around 750 or so in gear with the old tranny, and now its about 650 with the new one. When I got the truck there was service record...

Oh yeah. I love how it performs. You can definitely tell when the convertor locks up, but in a good way. Before I would be singing along at 2600-2800 and the convertor would engage and drop to 2200-2400. That is when it could grab. I got alot of WTF is wrong questions from people. Now at...

I pulled it and shipped it to DTT and the built it. The final bill was around $4100. That was $800 labor and the rest parts. Billet input, triple disc convertor, and just about everything else DTT sells except the flexplate and billet output. Most people can get away with about $1000-1500 less...

Wow, been super busy, but an update. I got the tranny in, and overall I love it. With the low-stall converter the motor feels much more "loaded up." It also made a huge difference in how the truck pulls- shift timing feels just right to me, not to early and not too late. The shifts are crisp...

I put a deposit down on the 10th so they could order the torque converter (the triple disc converters are stalled according to the trucks use). I am also using the shipping carrier that my brother works for because I get a discount, but that means they only pick up and dropoff in Blaine once a...

Still waiting on the tranny from DTT. I flushed the cooler. The t-case rear output seal was weeping so I tracked down a seal and bushing. No local parts store, including the dealer, could get the bushing. I ordered it and the seal from Quad 4x4 and got it in 2 days. The seal was $13 and the...

Picked up some Kooler Kleen last night and 2 cases of cheap ATF+4 (6$ a quart) for the break in. Took 4 stores to find it but some Oreilly's carry it. Turns out that stuff is 60% mineral spirits, 20% denatured alcohol, and propane. I am going to flush the cooler the best I can because I would...

When you say thermostatic valve, do you mean the convertor one way/ anti drain back valve on the cooler line of the tranny? There is discussion of it in my FSM and a TSB, but I dont know of a thermo valve. I just got the tranny on a pallet last night, so I havent gotten that far with DTT, but...

Well, I finally took the plunge last week. Put some money down on a DTT. I pulled the tranny this weekend, nothing really difficult except the tranny crossmember was press fit between the framerails. Some penetrating oil, a highlift, bottle jack, and prybars eventually freed it. There was...

If you get a chance please PM me a price just for the transmission. I make frequent trip to the wet side and my brother works for a frieght company so shipping is not a hassle for me. For anybody thats curious, Im looking at about $2300 for the build- $250 is new electronics/ solenoids which I...

I am not rebuilding it myself as I only have a tiny one car garage to do it in and the special tools are not worth it for me. The labor is $800 (that doesnt include R&R) but it comes with a warranty. I have only about 6K miles since I put the plate in, right around 117K total. I could...

What were you doing when the input stripped? I have consider doing it myself Thats what I keep hearing, but in my head I keep imagining laying on the throttle with the loaded trailer, hitting some gravel, and BANG. I thought the input usually goes before flexplate?

I am about due for a tranny in my 98' 12 valve. Fluid looks and smells SMOKED and I have a 100 fuel plate that isnt stock trans friendly. I have been looking at my options, and I have already decided on most parts of the build but I know some on this board have had it done. Need to decide on...

I almost ordered the trailer with it, but for the ~$500 it just wasnt worth it for me. I have also been told gas yellows it pretty readily and I will be fueling up inside the trailer. Honestly this is the way I am leaning right now, just some $35/ gal grey EXT paint. I had thought that would...

Hey all, I just bought a brand new 8.5'x24 enclosed trailer to haul my wheeler and other toys. The trailer has 3/4" plywood floors with 3/8" plywood walls. While the floors are nice and oil free I want to put some type of heavy duty oil resistant paint or coating down. I have been looking at...

I have a 98 12V, it gets 16-17 hand calculated, all stock. auto with 3.55 gears. That was hand calculated, unloaded of course, after about three full tanks I stopped checking. That was about what i realistically expected. Now towing about 7500lbs I got around 11, not taking it easy though. I...
