i bought my truck 3 weeks ago and the trans let go. its not all that modified but i do plan on putting a #10 plate and doing some towing with a 30ft enclosed trailer. so my question is what upgrades should i do so i dont have to worry bout burning it up again? heres some history on this. i flew out to sac and drove it down to san diego. truck ran like crap so i did the normal service of valve adjust, fuel filter, serviced air filter(k&n), kdp fixed, front crank seal/timing cover reseal, replaced belt, slip f-plate/afc f-f, straight piped it, serviced both diffs, t-case, trans and adjusted bands(way out of adjustment), oil change, and couple minor stuff but my gas mileage dropped from 19 to about 15mpg. i figured since i messed with the i/p it was normal. i was about to do the valve body upgrade from transgo and found the front drum scored so i figured it was time to come down and explains the loss in mpg. it has a aftermarket t.c. but other than that i think its stock. any suggestions on while its out? i dont have enough money for a billet t.c. and im doing the work myself(ex diesel dodge tech). any advise would be greatly appreciated!
