4r70w Monster Box update

Well guys I am readily pushing the 800 mark with HP and TQ. As many know I was given one of the first trannys to test and see what it could take. Well I finally broke it (sort of). We actually think the converter is what broke, but are not sure. The truck still drives just fine and shifts good, however the converter will lock and unlock. This is due to the computer seeing it slip so it unlocks it to prevent damage. We are thinking that it is just a bad converter, by that I am not saying the converter is bad, rather there was a defect in a part somewhere. Jasper is building me a new unit as we speak (gotta love 2 year warranty). Once it shows up we will swap them out and send the whole tranny with converter back to them. They will then dismantle the tranny to see what went wrong and any potential weak points. Like I said, I am pushing twice what anyone else is through this tranny, but that is why I have it. Factory Tech deserves a big kudos. This tranny was never meant to be hammered like this and it is working perfectly. Everyone else who has one will swear by them and are loving them. Once I hear back from Gregg or Jasper I will post up the findings

That sucks I probably built the cover to that converter. I'd like to know what happened to it. My guess is a groove in the seal bore causing pressure loss. The fix for that is to use the 1 piece teflon seal.

As soon as we find the problem I will post it up. Like I said, after speaking with Dylan at Jasper and running test with the scanner, it just seems like there was a defective part instead of a real failure.
