TurbochargedBerserker Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 The truck chirps second gear... Brake stalling looks to be very promising -- I tried at a light and got 5 psi before the truck even lurched. Then I promptly blew the intake tube of the turbo getting second... Damn silicon hose!!! The truck feels very good shifting. FLP does some good work. Now we'll see if it can last Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwalls54 Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 good deal then. need to do something about that intake tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurbochargedBerserker Posted November 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 You're tellin' me. It's totally my fault though. I changed the exhaust again this weekend (flipped over the wastegate to vent straight to atmosphere for a lil more umph) and didn't reset all the intake tubes near the turbo (the turbo's cocked a little differently than before).

HDMLNIUM Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Flp sounds like they know their $hit.. I need to order a built transmission soon, just trying to do a little research first. If you don't mind me asking, what exactly did you get from FLP and what was the total? Thanks, and keep them second gears a chirping...

TurbochargedBerserker Posted November 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Bill, I got the FLP L5 4L65E and a PI 10.5" triple disk turbo TC. I also got a bigger tranny cooler. I paid about $3k (there is an $800 core charge on top). The parts list is on the FLP site, but it was the most complete list I found.

HDMLNIUM Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Thanks for the info, it sounds like it is going to work very good for you.. I might just have to give them a call soon.. Thanks again and I wish you luck reaching your goals with your truck.. Bill-03-SD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XGMTech Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 The truck chirps second gear...

2bseen Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Does the core have to be in working order or just complete? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurbochargedBerserker Posted November 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Just complete. They are gonna rip it apart anyway. Day 2 assessment: I got to drive it this morning without being pissed off that the intake tube was off... I was impressed last night (I drove it for 10 minutes after putting the tube back on), but now I'm beyond impressed... Under light throttle, you'd never know anything was up, but anything after 25% tps, look out. My foot slipped a couple of times this morning (and ya know, pinned the throttle to the floor purely by accident) and let me just say that after one 1-2 shift, I thought I had gone blind for a few seconds. I also tested that 1st gear abuse valve thing. No longer an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
