Well its done so there is no waiting but if I have to get a new transmission so be it. thanks though

 

I hope you dont go by that philosophy alot, if you do i feel sorry for your bank account :\
Were just trying to save you some cash man...

 

PS- got any pics of that beast?

 

x2 lets see some pics.

 

are you 16-18 years old?

seriously, that was STUPID.

38's without a re-gear. WOW.

seriously, i see kids at school doing dumb stuff like this all the time.

i'm 17 and i did blow out the transmission on my diesel.

atleast i didn't have 15 people telling me not too.

you're making a huge mistake running those 38's, if you thought that lift was expensive then your new transmission is going to make you cry.

 

wow everyone needs to take a chill pill. calm down it'll be ok lol. just take it easy till you get gears and you shouldn't have a problem.

 

x2!
chill out if he takes it easy for the time being then he will be good

 

yeah guys dont forget the trucks yall are driving have a much better transmission and its not much better on an overall scale.

The 4r70w is a POS prolonged driving with oversized tires WILL cause problems, i promise. Regearing will help alot.

You can get away with alittle more with the 4r75 but not much, ask Merctech...

But as they said take it easy... NO OFFROADING and ride on prayers that everything will hold up.

 

were not flipping, were just aware of the damage that will be to come..if hes still in high school, then more than likely he drives like that too (Im not saying that he does, im just sayin most high schoolers do)...and that can lead to a failure in his drivetrain in the very near future...but X2 what trimble said...NO OFFROADING!!!

 

i'm in high school and i see this stuff happening all the time.

37/38's without re-gearing is a major cause of kids trucks failing around here.

or... running 500-600 HP on your diesel without doing anything to the tranny (did i REALLY do that?)

i've had 2 of my friends have to replace trannys in there diesels (3 including myself)

and 1 kid i know ran 38's on his silverado. Offroaded every now and then, but mostly drove like a teenager, and he has to replace his tranny.

I'm just trying to help my man out, re-gear that thing now man.

 

Damn RJ! Haha, that would have been a beast of a diesel man! And Im glad someone gets what Im trying to say..hope everything works out for him..if not, lesson be learned..

 

haha yeah buddy, it's still in the driveway. I take it out once or twice a week, it just got too expensive to keep up with for me. when diesel was 5 bucks a gallon i wanted to cry.

but that tranny put a HOLE in my wallet for months lol.

 

I understand what yall are trying to say and i am aware that i might need a new transmission. Im taking it easy and saving up the money for some gears. Gas isnt too bad on it. I keep it out of overdrive to save my tranny a little and try to keep it under 2RPM most of the time. I do not drive stupid with the 38's on there. Too many things could happen. But thanks for yalls advice and im gonna get some pictures up tomorrow since I dont have any of it right now!

 

first of all, i bet not one of yal who have posted have this set up. there is only one person i know running this set up with stock gears. *****'s.

yes it will take a toll on your tranny, but just baby it until you can afford gears.

 

no not that exact setup. But 36's stock 3:55's did its job on mine.

My ranger and bronco II both needed new transmissions when ran and offroaded without gearing.

It really depends on how the truck was drove up to this point. IF it was dogged then this might be the straw that breaks the camels back. If it was taken care of and NEVER abused then it would stay kickin longer.

and ****** really doesnt know what rear gears he has since the replaced rear axle. most likely its the same as the stock but who knows. Unless he found out already. been awhile since i talked to him.
