Got the truck up on the rack today. Took the inspection plate off the bellhousing to find that the flex plate shattered, there's nothing left of it. I can spin the torque converter with my finger. Hopefully that's the only problem and it'll be up and running before the weekend.

That's odd. Hope that is all the damage. Good luck with it.

Ya, $100 for a flex plate and bolts is a lot better than $1500 or so for a tranny. I've had a noise at start up for the last year probably and it was the same noise it recently started making when the converter would lock up, just not quite as loud. I always assumed it was the timing chain/phasers making noise since it would only last a couple seconds. I'm thinking the flex plate must of had a crack in it all this time.


After I get it fixed I may wait a few weeks to make sure everything's ok with it and get my wheels and tires I've been wanting for damn near 3 years I figure I was going to spend the money on a transmission anyways so why not.

Hope it works out Matt.

Thinking of picking up a Diablo and use my gryphon just as gauges.

John, why would you not want email tunes? I was very happy with the tunes I got from Troyer for my F150 and now the tunes I got from IDP for my F350. When I did the tunes for the F350 I sent my Xcal to IDP and had them put the tunes on it instead of emailing them.
