1st Day with my new typhoon!

Just picked up a 92 w/108k mi. The previous owner SY2675 brought it back to life did all the maintence and gave me a hell of a deal. Getting used to the truck still, dont want to blow it up the first week. I am keeping a close eye on the boost gauge as it has no cat. One thing i did notice if your cruising in OverDrive the tq converter will unlock if you floor it and the truck builds boost but doesnt move at the coresponding speed. I would imagine this builds a tremendous amount of heat and i backed at immediatley. It has done this twice, so for now i guess i cruise in drive untill i learn how to drive this truck.

i was accelrating yes, beating on it no. it was going to go no matter what, unfortunatley this isnt my first time with a deal like this. shotty rebuild will only last so long. trans would slip pretty good and bang 1st to 2nd so this morning was kinda of inevitable.

i dont think i knew what i was getting into....

it's not that bad. and the 700r4's aren't that bad either good build. try to contact waller. i got 2 of his trannies in my truck, and they are getting alot of beating, and i got more power than stock and they survive.
otherwise i don't know who to trust with a 700r4
