TM, next time I will just drive up to you, youd show me how right?

If the transmission EVER needs rebuilt again I will do it myself. I will get a manual and some instructional DVDs and tear into it. I wish I knew someone who rebuilds them that would show me or even just let me watch how they do it, and ask question as to why they do things certain ways.

Thought I would give you an update. The truck runs great now, and no check engine lights anymore. They replaced the Torque converter and put in AT4, which made a big difference. I also found that when they were under there they dislodged the hoses connected to the charcoal canister, they...

Ok I have a new symptom maybe you guys could give me something to ask them to specifically look for in the tranny. Remember how I was tell you it will bleed off speed and the rpm will stay the same, well it did that 4 times today in a trip to town and back. It almost feels as if someone is...

It has a higher stall and they claim it will slightly increase fuel mileage. XTM These units comprise our finest tow convertor technology. All units are designed with Heavy Duty use in mind. From extra brazing to greater fluid capacity, bearing assemblies...

Nothing special with the truck. Just a mostly stock truck. I just wanted a strong reliable TC that will be up to the task of towing and increase my fuel mileage slightly. Plus unlike all the others it came with a good warranty. And I know im going to keep the truck a long long time so I want a...

I wish I could afford to take my truck somewhere else but I am tapped out after all this. Im pissed off cause they are acting like im making this **** up just so that they will put in the torque converter. I was nice up till the point he told me he was going to want money to put the torque...

Well I ordered the one listed in my last post, should be here Friday. I found nothing but good reviews of the company and when I called there technical support he explained the difference in several of there torque converters versus stock to help me choose the one that would work best for me. He...

Took it to the shop again this morning to let the guy that did the rebuild take it for a test drive. There is good news and bad news Bad news: they cant reproduce the symptoms I described and they are sticking to there guns that dexron is perfectly fine for the transmission and will not cause...

Its the guy who did the actual rebuild who is being cheap. The shop I took it to all they do is pull out the tranny let him rebuild it and stick it back in. This is turning into a nightmare. For right now I think my only course of action will be to get them to flush out the dexron out of the...

They guy who did the rebuild said he uses all raybestos friction materials and has over 20 years rebuilding transmissions.

nhdiesel, that was another issue I brought up and they all swear up and down the use the mercon/dexron in everything and never have a problem. I was always told to use ATF4 and have done so when I changed the fluid. Ive put less then 500 miles on it since the rebuild, I dont need another...

Well I paid 1300 dollars cash to a shop ive used before. They dont do the rebuilds in house. I trusted there judgment on the tranny guy they use. They took it out and put it back in said if it has to come out again they wont charge me anything more. The TC I want cost about 500 dollars and...

Its actually a dodge dakota v6 with a a500/42re. I trust the guys advice on here above just about any other automotive forum im on.

Do you think my assumption that the TC is damaged or worn are correct?

My truck would not stay in overdrive and was getting worse and worse so I had it rebuilt. The rebuilder said he found broken springs in the OD section and worn out bands and clutchs through out. He told me though that the TC was fine and did not need replaced. So he fixed everything and put...
