  7. Servo Install Tip

    in AWD, Differential, & Transmission Tech

    Posted

    Well it is back together and runs great. I only ended up paying 165.00 for the case. Once inside we found the band was burned so a new Kevlar band went in. We also found that the 2cnd accumulator (plastic) piston was cracked after the spring upgrade so I went to the big shaft housing and piston and reinstalled the same springs. The clutches all looked good after 74,000 miles I can still read the numbers on them. This was a very easy project with help from a great friend who does transmissions on the side. Now I have to decide where or who to get my PCM tuned from. Right now I have a tune from Brian (PCMforless) Any suggestions?

  9. Servo Install Tip

    Friday I installed a new servo in my transmission. All went well and the truck shifted great until the next day. As I was going down the road a heard a loud noise (kind of like a wrench or a servo hitting a heat shield). When I looked in the rearview mirror I saw the smoke so I pulled into a drive way and checked it out. I got out of the truck and crawled under to see what happened. Well to my surprise there was the new servo against the heat shield and my case was cracked and missing a chunk from the lower opening to the upper opening.

     

    So the moral to this story is. Make damn sure you have the snap ring installed correctly. It may look like it is in, but be 100% sure it is. This could be a costly mistake I still can’t believe the new case is only going to cost me $200.00. And my buddy is a transmission guy so it should be a SNAP to fix.

  17. some police facts?

    in Street

    Hopefully I’m not too late, but here goes, the police have already been called and you are a wanted person! As a matter of fact I have to type very softly cause me just typing to you could cost me my job, but I’ll try to help. Your license number has already been entered into the nationwide database of known “street racers”. A picture of your SS as well as a picture of YOU is being transmitted to ALL police agencies, even Barney has it! More and more police cars are being equipped with in-car computers so they have the info immediately so I’d recommend you park your SS in a well shielded garage and if you don’t have a well shielded garage then at least rip off the On-Star antenna, if you have one, so they can’t track you. Then to be on the safe side, I know you’d like to be on the SAFE side, I’d find the “black box” and rip it out, so if they do arrest you they won’t have the data to use against you in court. I would then take it into the desert and bury it, and bury it deep, at least 10 feet. And if I were you I wouldn’t drive it to the desert, I’d walk it to the desert because it is a well known fact that cops have tunnel vision and you were reported to be driving so if you walk they won’t even see you, kind of like you’re invisible.

     

    After you have returned from your trek into the desert I’d sit down and start watching all of the national news channels to see if you are the news of the day. And during commercials read this, it may help you in the future.

     

    That was good :cheers::lol:

    I did a lot of research today I looked at the 404's and read about a lot of tires here on the site. I am going to put the Hankooks on the wife Yukon I still have not decided on the SS. Thanks a lot for the input they may go on the SS also.
