She's a lot more torn up than I would have thought!

Post some pics of the goodies in the pan.

Well, in an effort to give me a hand, Chris (guy I work with) washed the pan out for me while I was under my Sami workin on that. So, no pics, sorry guys.

Also, after doing some thinking, thought it would be best to get the truck in the hands of guys who builds trans for a living. Horgans Transmissions. We have been doing business with them for almost 20 some years now. Good guys. Really know what they are doing. So, I have brought the truck to them. They will do the RDI for me. They have already been talking to me about upgrades they can do, and they want to build me a 4R70W from the ground up. Going to see what they come up with. I'll keep yall updated.

clutches are gone.

No ring and no drum damage.

the 3rd gear was worn purdy good.

Starting to look like it was something in the electronics. Maybe the tunes themself but I don't know about that. I will get it back together, and hook up a gauge to watch the line rise pressure under acceleration. My guess is, the pressure wasn't rising, and was starving my trans of proper lube. Right now I am still not 100% sure what caused failure, but its looking like an electronic issue..... Hopefully will know more by tomorrow or so.
