Vortec MAX Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 I know a lot of you on here have the Magnuson Radix kit. So how many miles have you driven since the install, and what have you broken? I am considering this kit, but I don't want to break my 4L70E tranny or blow my LQ9 motor. I thought I remembered seeing a post where a guy had 100K miles after the Radix on his stock 4L60E or 4L65E tranny. Could this be? Feedback please.

detjoe Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 my bet is Dcarins (sp??) He is still on his first trans too, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krambo Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 my bet is Dcarins (sp??) He is still on his first trans too, I think. Yea, Dave has got to be pushing 50K+ with the radix. I hear of people doing close to 100K before any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgp6373 Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 i had my radix installed at 7500 and my trans blew at 36000 went to smaller pulley and heads and cam then engine went at 53000 but if u were to leave it as a stock radix i would think you should have no problem getting 80000 out of it if you dont drive like a mad man like me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdrumright Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 (edited) I'm getting ready to roll over 80,000 miles. I put the radix on with 26,000 on the odometer. Still running the stock trans with a zippy shift kit and TB converter. I have made numerous passes at the track and it is currently running mid 12's. I consider this a reliable combination.
