I miss it a little. It looked sweet after I put that drop shackle on it. A buddy of mine that I worked with at the water dept. bought it.

I head you man. When life get me down I go out to te shop and work on my truck. It seems that I do alot of work lately. Life is not always a bed of roses. These boys of mine keep me in a straight line though.

Had fun yesterday. I had to go to work when I got home too. Had a call in.

Oh, no! I was tired last night, but it was well worth it! A fun day for sure!

Not too much. Been busy with work and new house stuff. I am looking into a deal on a 700R4 trans, though.

Rusbuilt · 01-05-2014, 06:21 PM

700r4 woohoo!!!

Bomp · 01-05-2014, 09:45 PM

Saaweeeeeet....700R4

Hope the house stuff don't dive into your "truck bucks" I got stuck with a "bathroom Honey-Do" bathroom remodel over Christmas.

Can't wait to see an update with the 700R4

Yeah, I'm waiting to see if I can verify the quality or not. I was thinking about going with your guy, but this one will be cheaper, but I am planning to be REAL careful about the verification. I'd hate to end up with a high dollar core.

Thanks, Bomp! I am holding tight to the truck bucks so far. Just waiting to be sure I don't need 'em.

gdavis · 01-07-2014, 06:11 PM

Thats what I am planning on doing later. Putting in a 700R4 transmission, is the 700r4 any longer than the th400. If so I will have to get another drive shaft. But this comes much later. I want to work out the bugs first.

5150 · 01-07-2014, 11:52 PM

To install a 700r4 in you'll need to slide the crossmember back and have the driveshaft shortened 3 inches.

flashed · 01-08-2014, 08:20 PM

When you change to the 700R4 ,will you need to change rear end gears to keep it from lugging ,I did in our Chevelle but dont know with our trucks . Also will the speedo be off much ?

gdavis · 01-09-2014, 06:32 PM

I just got rid of a drive shaft that was 3'' shorter./ I should have keapt it. But who knows when I will ever get to do the 700r4 transmission. Only time will tell. As far as the cross member it will be in the same spot as a 6 cly then. What gears will I have to use with the 700R4 transmission swap. I'am thinking about gas milage.

cubber · 01-13-2014, 01:07 AM

I hear a lot of guys use the 3.73 gears with the 700r4

gdavis · 01-16-2014, 07:41 PM

I wounder how much difference the gas milage will be between 3.73 and a higher gear rear with a 700r4

I've heard thats the best with a 700R

5150 · 01-17-2014, 10:33 AM

It is the bestfor a good mix of power and cruising speed. If you're looking for gas mileage then go with a 3.08. Just don't expect to be burning tires off the line.

Dean'smeanmachine · 01-17-2014, 10:46 AM
