Been looking in "The Diesel Garage " forum. There's a guy(JOHN G) on there that says the 10kmod will eventually take out the tranny.He says it causes lower line pressure and tc lockup issues .Ever here of this philosophy .Check it out.

 

based on what you just said thats a crock of sheet, the icp has no effect on your line pressure....somebody else just said that yesterday too...... where do people come up with this stuff???? as far as the pcm is concerned nothing is going on, all it knows is that the ipr runs at 19% instead of 14, it could care less about changing epc pressure

 

He didn't convince me he just talked about R&D data and said it "lied" to the pcm therefore it processed information wrong and made improper adjustments ...

 

yes it lies to the pcm, we all know that, what does he think a chip does? it processes the icp info and sees a lower than wanted high pressure reading, it makes the "proper" adjustment by closing the ipr a bit to get the high pressure reading "correct" it doesnt go "oh no! icp low! quick lets drop the epc and cook the tranny"
can you post a link i am intrigued by this and would like to read this so called r+d

 

man!, racer X is as big a dic today as he was 20 years ago. i dont know what i am talking about? oh well, too bad, to clear some things up. the accumulator body that was out of my "old trans" was also out of my "old" truck that i no longer have because i sold it to buy the powerstroke. there was nothing wrong with that trans and i put the stock body back in before i sold it, i also kept my air intake, my exhaust and all the other things that i wanted to. i didnt know there was a rule against doing that. i figured that i could take a picture of the nice clean body to post rather than pull the one out of my trans to show you guys, didnt know that was an error.
why are the holes so big in the "old" body? because that was a gas truck, not a 500+ ftlb diesel. that was the best shift for that truck. that is why they are that way.
why did i drill a 300 dollar accumulator instead of the plate? because i wanted to, i am not an idiot. i can read fluid schematics. in fact i contemplated drilling the plate, i also thought about swapping for a 4r100 valve body and adding the extra check ball, but i decided that the 5 minute job was better suited for my schedule.
you know for people who are completely against modding they sure do know how to do it properly.
i cant remember any of the other things i did wrong. i will have to re-read them and come back and post more..
oh the epc, right remebered it now, if they would have kept on reading the tranny post before they started bashing me and name calling me they would have seen that i can turn the line pressure up if i wanted to, its easy and cheap, much cheaper than the ****ing banks trans command or pulling the god dam trans out to replace the pump check valve.
you know i really hate *******s that think they know everything. that is the reason i normally never go to forums, i havent visited my airwolf forum for a while or as heavily as i used to because of "know-it-alls" like them. i have never claimed to know anything, i have never claimed to know everything. i answer questions and give links or pictures to the answers. but what i post and what i suggest you guys try is not some bull**** rig job that they are making it out to be. i may not have spent millions of dollars on R+D but i have done research in the manuals, i researched and met with ford reps and tested on my dam truck, what i give you works, and it works well and it works safe. screw those guys i hope they spend a fortune on their trucks and they ****in blow up

 

the 10k mod doesnt hurt your tranny

 

Sorry Joe didn't mean to raise your defenses,just thouhgt you might have heard about this.I got the same know-it-all impression.Wasn't guestioning your knowledge or abilities thouhgt you might get a kick out of the john..g/oelevel whatever that means.

Truly I think you have great knowledge and can explain your opinions w/o coming off demeaning.W all benefit from that.
Ok enough ***kissing .

 

thank you, if you have any mod done to your truck you need to pay attention to the way its driving. IF there was to be a trans issue from this mod such as a slip issue then the trans would be running hotter before you really noticed the slipping, this would be noticed on your trans temp gauge. if people are too stupid to watch the gauges then shame on them for blowing up their transmission, the 10k has a better chance of melting a head or piston then it does frying a tranny and if you melt a piston running a 10k then its your fault for not watching your egt's. you buy the gauges for a reason, and if it was for good looks then somebody needs to slap you silly. these people are the reason good mechanics stay away from these sites

 

fuely, no harm taken from you, i liked the abusive response you got when you questioned them. how nice of a site. i think i will go join them.......... maybee later.........na nevermind i would rather get a chainsaw rammed up my ****

 

I don't have your technical knowledge ,but common sense didn't seem to work either .
GOTTA LAUGH,egos speak loudly there

 

What!! I Cant Hear You!!

 

ya know what, since we are still on this subject. i guess installing an intercooler is bad for our trucks too. and i can give good reasons based on their standards
number 1- its a mod that wasn't factory approved for our year truck
number 2- its a mod that lowers the intake air temp. since our pcm works off of sesnor
tables only then if we lower the air going in without giving the pcm a way
of knowing that then we are going to blow up or tranny since whenever you
mod your truck the epc doesnt raise
oh you know whaat else the downpie has to go too
reason 1- as before ford didnt put it there
reason 2- it raises boost pressure and thats bad since we dont have a wastegate
reason 3- the pcm wont know what to do since it works off of set parameters and
lowering backpressure throws a wrench into that mess
oh crap the air intake has to go
reason-1 i'll skip it
reason 2- it moves too much air and the pcm doesnt have a mass air flow sensor
to know that we are throwing more air at it and no oxygen sensors to read
a potential lean run and that could melt a motor
should i stop or keep going?

 

I don't think they could "hold a candle" to you Joe.

BTW do they have Airwolf on dvd,my son would love that show. To bad Jan Michael Vincent became a drunk or was it coke.I don't remember loved the show though godi'm getting old...

 

seasons 1 2 and 3 are out, i got them all, but i still have all of the origonal airings on vhs as well, i have alot of info and pictures including behind the scenes stuff.
jan is in rough shape nowadays, its a real shame, he just did an interview and he cant even remeber alot of his past, the drug and alchohal abuse is really taking its toll on him. he is sobered up for the past few years but its too late, at 63 he's done doing action films and acting in general is over since his vocal cords got damaged while trying to intbate him after his crash in.....95 i think. such a waste of talent, jan michael may be a bad role model but string fellow hawke will always be my hero

 

Always had a facination w/ helicopters, but never flown.

Didn't realize Jan Michael was 63, had forgotten about accident to bad.
