Wonder why it flipped? Im thinking redonkulous COG.


Nice pics. Glad its all working well for you. Id go with a lower gear set 1st and 2nd when you rebuild the C6. That will probably help a little in the wheelspeed and longevity departments.

No arguing on the COG comment, your absolutely right. Its a risk you run when you have something this big...and everyone here knows it.

And thanks, Im happy everything is working out with it. The tranny that we put in was supposed to be rebuilt, but it had been sitting for a long time and we didnt know anything about it. Im happy I got two events out of it and only have $200 into it.
Now to get something fresh and that I can get warranteed

Well I know its been a while since Ive updated. Truck is all fixed and driving again. I got a sponsor for the transmission. Its fully built "bulletproof" . Sway bars are fixed, Rims are fixed. New B&M slap shifter, and a few other small changes. Taking it out at the end of the month to Redneck Yacht Club.






A video of me messing around on my road after the new tranny install.

Oh yeah and I bought a lincoln 180 hd mig welder (its a 220v). I dont know how I did this truck with a stick! I wish i bought this years ago, I ground down 90% of my welds and rewelded them too. Also made a pretty cool cart with EMT.
