4Runner Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Didn't mean to "take a dump" here. I was talking about what he is doing to his truck. Don't know why I would need a new thread to talk about the same damn thing. Isn't that what a build thread is for? Put update, ask questions, and share advice?

That is one well cared for and very tight tranny Now that's kinda funny; The guy I bought a "super-built" 60 from is buying a 60. Thought you were moving on to an 80 Shawn.

rcapone Posted February 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 So we had a 70deg. day on Tuesday, took the day off work and decided to detail the truck and put a few miles on the new Trans. Something doesn't feel right, or maybe it's just me because I've never had a high performance converter...am I supposed to feel a jerk when the converter locks up? From a dead stop - I stomp on it and it almost feels like it's slipping for a second or two then a very, very soft shift from 1 - 2 (most definitely not what I would expect from what's supposed to be a high performance trans. as the shift actually feels softer than my bone stock '07 Z71 classic), then around 97 mph I hit third and it shifts very firm, within 1 second after the shift, I feel another pretty firm jerk (which I think is the converter locking up). Is that normal? Also, I'm feeling jerk from what I think is a converter lockup when driving semi-normally around 2200 - 2400 rpm. So other than the "hurkey jerkey" feeling, everything else seems to be okay - trans. temp. is right around 150. One other thing, and it only happened one time - Cruising on the highway, I slow down to around 45, stomp on it, get a downshift, rpms shot up to around 6k but felt like the trans. was slipping pretty bad so I let off of it because rpms kept climbing and the truck wasn't accelerating like it should.

2bfast Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) Sounds like a tuning issue. Have you been using your HPT with Mike? Edited February 20, 2014 by 2BFAST (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcapone Posted February 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Sounds like a tuning issue. Have you been using your HPT with Mike? That's what I'm hoping! Only when I uploaded his 80 conversion tune. I did send him a test drive log file, then spoke to him yesterday...he was supposed to send me a file that will log certain parameters he's looking for yesterday but I haven't received it yet. I'm concerned with what seems to be trans. slippage right out of the hole and that one experience I described above. Do you think the tune can correct that too?

rcapone Posted February 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Nice sunny day today in the mid 50's, so I was able to get a couple of files logged for Zippy. He wanted a 0 - 100 and 55 - 100 log. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
