Tranny is in, seems all is good with it, I still am having some sort of overheating issue while under a long load like pulling a long hill, cant figure it out, didnt overheat but got to 3/4 on the temp gauge. I am hoping it is not a head gasket leaking under pressure..... no leaking or venting out the cap/overflow. I thought this problem was gone until the drive home tonight...... Just dont get it... but I will give it a try tomorrow to pull the trailer over and make my live tuning for Sat.

Hopefully I will not have to, I will know shortly after i leave with the trailer in tow if i will be having problems with the overheating. some pretty good hills right off the get go. I will just take it slow and easy in my lowest setting and try to make it over in one piece. I will not miss this , this year! Chit missed it last year and the one up in WA. Thank you all for your generosity!!!

Had to, only way I could get it done and in before I had to leave tomorrow.. Believe me I didnt want to.. I know it will fail again. its only a matter of time, last one lasted 14 months. I can only hope for the best on this one. I did get a tripple disk billet converter, and " heavy duty rebuild" extra chit.. well see, it did come with a 3 year 100,000 mi written warranty. The re builder is well aware of the mods to the truck and assures me it will hold up and he will honor his warranty. I can see myself using that in the future.
This isn't from Power Atthority is it?
