Re: One problem after another. TH400 shift issues
Dropped my truck off at the transmission shop this morning. Driving from bloomington to Indy was not fun. It wouldn't shift into 3rd until 65mph... And it would downshift if I dropped below 60. luckily my motor didn't explode, but she sounded like she might. This truck was used for snow removal a couple times but the transmission would overheat and we never knew why. I looked at the build sheet in the glove box, turns out this truck was ordered from the factory with 3.08 gears, and they have since ripped the 305/700r4 and swapped in a 350/th400. And since the 400 doesn't have as low of a first gear as the 700 the transmission was overworking itself trying to plow snow. So because of the one or two overheats I figured a full rebuild was safest. Once I save up some money I will be hunting for a matching front and rear end, probly 3.42s, maybe 3.73s. Because this truck is an absolute turd off the line with 3.08s.
