My tranny is FUBAR. Truck is virtually undrivable. I need to do something quick. My mechanic thinks I should buy a Level 10 tranny. I am sceptical. I have heard that their quality does not match their price, but I don't know what else to do. Level 10 also wants to sell their billet torque converter, but I don't know what this will do for me except help me shred my F1s. I have e-mailed Gregg to get his take on it, but I am anxious for feedback from everyone who has some experience with Level 10. Thanks.

There is a detailed Level 10 Lightning article in this months MM&FF


Looks pretty good. But the last picture shows them putting Mercon V in... Just like my dealer did. Dipstick calls for Mercon

Have "FactoryTech" build you one.

 

I'd love to build one, but unless you can send me a core, I have about a 3 month waiting list on Gen 2s right now. Been doing a bang up business on the Gen1s, though. The new Forward clutch packs are about tested though, should be availible from PSP inside of a month, pair it up with a Diesel Direct clutch (or maybe I'm working on a direct clutch too, still tinkering with that) and a shift kit and it'll be about indestructable. The new Forwards have 50% improvement in clutch surface over the factory units.

alpha - you just may want to talk to Neil the HP freak, he's got a regular F150 that he did some great stuff to. On of them is he has the Art Carr Transmission, I'd talk to him about it.

 

hey gregg, did you get my email?

Yeah brooks, I got it, but if I get anymmore 'puter stuff my wife's gonna leave me (just her and me and we have a network in the house, jeesh). Are you tearing your tranny down by any chance, I may be able to get you in on a test for the forward clutch, I have two out in complete boxes I sold (both are Gen 1s) and mine is done, but I'd like another Gen 2 to run one before I start shipping (Sal has one on the way, too). Gonna go for about $250 with exchange I guess. Adds 50% more grab on the forward clutch, should solve the problems people have with 2nd gear.
Let me know,

i was thinking more along the lines of me taking a vacation and camping out in your front yard with some cash. LOL!
