Message: [QUOTE="FourEyed, post: 1543266, member: 11078"] Been a while since any updates, but have finally made some progress and decided what I'm doing. I just have to keep telling myself "it's still cheaper than a new truck" While it was apart, I figured now is better than ever to go through the transmission. I had it rebuilt by a local shop I've always had good results with my race car transmissions.. Kept it simple, upgraded the clutches and went for a billet input shaft, and new converter.

Looks like it bounced around a bit, and damaged the case. Must have made a hell of a noise! Case had cracking evident going to the pump, so a brand new case was used..

I ended up with the following: From RCD: - Stage 2 cam - Maxxforce 7 coated pistons - Gapless 2nd ring - Heads gone through (again) From Sunrise Ford: - New HPFP and harness - New injectors - New oil cooler and oil pump - New Ford head gaskets - New set of lifters (even though mine have 30k on them) - New top end gaskets Still need to order turbos, up pipes, and a couple misc things. Should be going together pretty soon. [/QUOTE]
