This is just me thinking not sure if this will work.

I'd try unplugging the trans harness and start the truck in N then drop it in gear and if it doesn't do it the you may have a short.

 

I'm open to any and all suggestions...thanks Mike

 

I hate to hear this Todd. I really feel bad about selling that ZF now! I'll do my best to find you one.

 

Bill like I told you before, not a problem at all. We all knew it would happen, if it is in fact toasted, you never plan a good time for it break!

 

I actually have another spare ZF, but it is in Tyler's truck! LOL! His had bad syncros so we swapped it until we can rebuild his.

 

im curious how low fluid will cause this. I have never heard of it.Since I have an auto and will never have a hand shaker I want to learn as much as I can.

the kit with good clutches and good parts is 1400 from what I see...no converter or vb...this is gonna be expensive when I build mine.

 

What your wife said Todd is priceless, her heart is in the right place for sure. My first trans I blew on a hill and my wife and I climbed up part of the hill because of all the smoke, LOL. My second trans was running so hot I could hardly keep fluid in it. The mule is slipping now and it will be next. In other words, I feel for you.

 

Thanks guys. I was surprised when Mark said low fluid, but the guy has forgotten more about these auto trans than I'll ever know, so I try to pay attention when he chimes in. Her heart is in the right place, she just has no idea what it costs to replace vehicle parts, let alone a diesel trans. I priced the level 4 enforcer a few months ago with a RacerX VB and TC and it was coming out to around 3500. For parts. I know I can do a ZF swap cheaper, but time is going to dictate a lot here. I use/work my truck everyday.

 

If I find one, I'll bring it to you and help you do the swap.

 

You're not doing all that. You can find me one though. Lol

 

I'm serious, it's only a 4 hour drive. With all the parts there, I can almost do the swap in a day.

 

Heck,its about the same for me,I will come help too.i mainly just want to see bill thrash!

 

You guys are too kind. I couldn't possibly ask for that.

 

it would be epic..prob talk about it for a while afterward! cumon...lets do it!

 

You're not! LOL!!
