i think my tranny is starting to slip...
...you guys could probably help me out though.
when im on the freeway and i give it some gas, i hear the blower start to wind up, then fall off and then start winding again.
when i get on it from a dead start, as it shifts to second, the blower seems to let off some then starts going again.
also, when i do a u-turn or speed up out of a turn, my engine revs up but my truck doesnt really go anywhere. then it will lock in really hard and start going.
any ideas?
on a lighter note...i went to the track last night to try out the new mods. i ran a new best of 13.43 @ 102 mph. i cant seem to get my 60' under 2.0. track is over 2000' elevation.
thanx for any help...chris

Those symptoms don't sound like a slipping tranny to me. If the trans was slipping, your s/c'r and eng. would spin faster not bog down. If the blower is falling off, this is a slipping belt. That's all that powers the s/c. If the eng. is falling down, how many miles on your fuel filter? How dirty is your air filter?
