360 build update

I'd go more like 3k on his. It looks like it stalls at around 2200 right now. Unless this isn't a street only truck, then I'd do 2500-2700.

stock 4x4s stall at 1800rpm. problem is the 46re heats up with higher stalls. the higher the stall the worse the heat becomes.

Time for a LONG LPD 28,000 GVW Tranny Cooler to go with that 3K stall convertor.

My KRC Boat anchor engine, was going to need a 3500 stall. But I already have the aforementioned tranny cooler in my truck (have for 13 years now lol). When I get that engine rebuilt, whether I stick with KRC's specs on the engine, or whether I stroke and supercharge it, I know the tranny will be ready to take the punishment. If not, I'll build it again myself with alot of Sonnax parts lol.

That's all autos. Higher stall = more slippage. Not a big deal unless towing or your cooler is plugged.

idk if im going to stall it...I like my OD when im cruising and unless im going to pay big big bucks for a converter with a stall and OD (probably not) im probably just going to leave this one in and when its rebuilt have them put a converter that will suit me. Yes I will like to race my buddies no doubt....but I wanna be able to take it out on that sunday afternoon when its nice out and just cruise! Truck is back on the road and running strong! two new bolts and some loc-tite and were good to go. going ot take it easy on it for about another 900 miles lol let everything settle up where its going to be. Sure is hard to keep my foot off the gas though.

Im going to go give you guys a exhaust video right now I want Sean to turn down my idle first though....you can hear the cam but could be a little lower like 650-700 ish think she sits at around 750-800 right now.

I have a separate intercooler for the trans now that by passes the radiator, and have a double deep trans pan from dereal waiting to go on as well

Yeah going to have hemifever turn the idle down some, this camera dont do it any justice.

i had to ask several times for the idle drop to 700. he is reluctant. at least on my behalf. it just sounds better down low.
after the rpm drop at idle you may need to adjust the throttle stop. sometimes the iac and the pcm act up. you will notice the rpm hang up when slowly rolling to a stop or the rpm will dip too low. from those symptoms just adjust the tb stop at 1/4 turns.
i'm still on the fence with the stall converter. since the 4x4s are meant to be torque monsters, i dont want to loose all the down low responses. i might go to a 2200 at most. just enough to get the cam thump off the torque converter. a high stall will improve the sprint times though!
also with the trans refresh for me coming up, i will have the fluid circulation in park. this will allow me to take out the line out check ball and flow better straight to the cooler.
nice rumble you got there! was that the right cam or what?

Yeah you nailed that cam...perfect amout of HP and RPMS up top good low end torque...she sounds sooo healthy.

yeah my check ball is already drilled out....yeah sean hasn't sent me a email back with the idle lower lol

He will probably tommorow. I had the 210x in my 318 with 700 idle sounded real good truck would shake a bit more to.

Stall won't effect cruising once it locks, which is 45mph on stock shift points @ light throttle

I was told that if you put a stall in you lose your OD?

thats one thing I noticed and idk if Hemifever changed it but before I could get my truck to lock up at 35mph with my 4.56 now i cant get it to lock up till about 50....I would take it sean moved the shift points?

yes. sean moved my OD shift point up to 50mph. it helps the truck wind up better! this allows you to use the upper HP rpm on the cam.

You need to stop hanging around whoever told you that!

The only things that will make you lose OD, is something busted in the OD housing, bad solenoid, bad ground to the PCM, or something faulty in the PCM.

Raising the stall point simply raises the point where the converter will slip before transferring 100% of the power through the trans.

Example: If you have perfect brakes or a way to keep the tranny from turning while in gear, a 2000rpm stall converter will allow you to hit 2000rpm before the engine stalls, it pushes through the brakes, or breaks something in between.

The ONLY thing a different converter could change other than stall, is whether or not it locks up.

Also, you change the shift points with gear or tire height changes, to allow for the new engine speed at the same mph. Or to allow you to rev higher into the powerband for more horsepower to the wheels through all gears.

Ahh maybe thats what they said it wont lock up.....I want mine to lock up so it saves some gas in this already gas hog...I know I didn't build it to save gas but I like to cruise and they truck quiets down when it locks up if not it just thumps the inside of the cab...just gives you a head ache after 25 mins of driving I find myself speeding to lock it up allot lol.

Got a scare kinda going on here, my computer aint picking up my tuner i've always used someone else computer when I was working on my truck idk if my computer is just stupid so im headed over to my grandmas to use hers and see if it will pick it up. Sean gave me a tune with 700 idle but I cant get the computer to recognize the tuner is plugged in...or my cords shot idk...but when I plug it in it turns on so I dont think its the cord

What version of windows you using? If Win 7 there is a microsoft update for the driver sct.

yeah pretty sure its windows 7....where is the update?

I found it...yeah I was using xp on other peoples computers that I was using hopfully this works

Lockup is also great because it can be used as an extra gear, keeps trans temps down, and gets more power to the ground.

Just got off the phone with SCT....they couldn't fix my problem said go try and use it on the computers that It did work for....FML!!!!!!!!11

Did you try to run it as Win xp sp2? Right click live load icon, then click properties and then click compatability select Win xp sp2

LOL stall convertor will not lose your Overdrive. It only allows the engine to rev up a little higher on take off before the convertor starts to pull. Everything will work just the same as it does now, just that you'll be able to brake stall the engine to a higher RPM at launch so you're starting off at a higher RPM sooner, to get you off the line better.

Wouldnt be very good for wheeling though, as it would make you have to wind it up pretty good to pull up a hill, making it harder to control precisely.
