Figured I'd give a 6 month/10k mile update. It's still running great, no noticeable issues.

did you guys have a whine at around 2k rpm with the failing TC. I have a feeling my TC is going to die as well. I have a 4.8is though, still ZF trans.

Glad to hear that its still working well. I'm taking mine to the shop next week. It will be interesting to find out exactly whats wrong with the tranny.

Did you try the Lube Gard Red if you think its going what could it hurt? Mine is working better than it ever has and the whine is gone almost 1000 miles. I think it might take care of the whine. Did you put new fluid in?

Yea I drained the old fluid with the pan drop twice remember. I am going to try that Lube Guard. Just haven't had the chance.

Dude, You're driving me crazy. Where can we meet half between the big city and the little city, Maybe Flemington, NJ. I'l bring my jack and some stands and tools you bring the lubegard. Then you can buy me coffee.

Where do you want to meet?

Lol thanks for the offer. It might work, but the tranny would be messed up hot. If you ever come out to Brooklyn, stop by my garage, way more comfortable place to work, versus a parking lot. I plan on giving it a go hopefully this weekend. All I have to do is back it up some ramps and I'm in place. I am confident of the process to do this without the GT1 now, so its just a matter of having the time apart from work and family.

P.S. This is my garage fridge.

So come by if you want to wrench. Even if on just my car, lol.
