Shoulda picked up a trans cooler out of a 98-02 Powerstroke



The smaller of the 2 is the one I'm talking about. They're pretty damn big. But the big boy in the pic is for the 5R110W (behind the junky 6.0 PSD). They're like the size of Fox Mustang AC condensors.

I was mad because the converter in my '89 is so loose, I thought I was spinning 4000+ in 3rd in a 45 zone. So the other day I cruised to the gym at 50mph with the LCD controller hooked up to the ECU. (because I don't have a tach)

It was actually only 2100rpms. The car is just so loud it FEELS like it's turning high rpms.

Balancer is in... hard to bring myself to work on the car when it's actually dropped below 40° in my garage. But going to grab the bolts tomorrow and get the length for people going forward

We should all put up pics that show who we are like that. I like him that much more now after seeing that love affair of a picture. And I hear you on the garage temp, we have been crazy cold here in IA the last few days and my garage is not heated. I have a new tranny to replace the C6 in my Ranger, but its waiting for spring!

My wife would probably divorce me if I had a heated garage, I would live out there! Good luck with your swap, its tough working in the cold.

My garage is not insulated. But for those cold days when I just need to be out there, I light up the kerosene heater. It does the job and makes the garage bearable for the few hours I may need it.

I think if the floor was heated, it would be bearable.

I did a hitch on a boat with heated bathroom floors once. Seems like a minor frill, but maaaaaaaaan, if I ever build a house, it's getting heated floors.
