Those constant pressure vb are awful hard on the pump. GM designed it to be variable so elevating it all the time causes extra wear on the...
The 2004r is an excellent trans when prepared well. DO you know the code on the tail housing of your unit to see what might need to be upgraded?...
While the multi pattern is much more common, the 2004r was produced with a bop onlt and a chevy only bell also. [IMG] Multi pattern [IMG] Chevy...
Not a 700r4 but many(maybe all, not sure) mid eighties Cadillac came with the qjet and the 2004r so the tv cable and carb brackets and arm stuff...
My phone crashed so I sent the info to the thommyknocker.com Saw your youtube vids. Very nice! Too much clearance on the servo imo. Needs tighter...
[MEDIA] They are out there.
We can discuss the servo set up. Freeplay sounds like you had it too loose. It needs to be tight and it seems too tight but that is what makes for...
Nailhead Ronnie? You know I'm all about the 2004r. No need for a $3000 one or a $1000 in parts(well, maybe depending on your torque converter...
Big ole thread on the other journal about a fancy yellow jack at the ocean port cartage. Looks like a nice one if you need one.
Be glad to help if I can. I sent you a message on the https://www.thommyknocker.com site as I couldn't find a place to message here. I wouldn't...
Yes, as already identified, an AA code from an 82 Cadillac. If economical enough, you might consider picking it up for parts. I would be leary of...
Two cases warped? Not likely. You need a different builder. 2004r can be just as reliable as a 700r4. Get the pressure up(boost valves and...
[IMG] I use one of these and if it is stubborn coat the bead with grease. Just be ready to release the strap when the bean seats or it will...
I use a piece of card board to lay the rim on, I have a gallon coolant bottle with a couple knife holes full of soapy water like the pros use, a...
Not a rumor. Here is GM's sales specs. http://9c1.com/1.0/external/pdfs/1989_Chevrolet_Caprice_9C1_Sales_Brochure And if you look close, even GM...
As stated, the 700 r4 and the 2004r are good units if your 327 is a chevy engine. The plug in the side of the trans is for locking up a torque...
In TEXAS, we have a nifty law know as the castle doctrine, which allows one to protect their family and possessions, up to and including the use...
I like the easy payment plan above. I will use that. When asked for bottom dollar , the reply is "what's the most you'll give?". You already...
Which ten bolt are you using? If it is a 7.5 " ring gear I can see why you broke it. Those are known to be weak. An 8.5" unit should stand up, but...
Nice. Those look like fire sprinkler fittings. I bet it gets the water out.
call around to some muffler shops and ask about some red "snapper" and L or straight straps to weld to the pipe. The "snapper" looks like the red...
This is my weight distributing, sway control setup. It took some adjusting to get it right but now it tows like a dream. [IMG] Also when you...
Bad plan. especially if you don't have experience. The side size is a wind catcher. The post about the tail wagging the dog is right on loaded or...
Kind of depends on what you are trying to accomplish. Either would work for you. The 700r4 is a bit longer but the rear mount is further forward....
Lots of good info here. As stated in my earlier post back on the first page, carry two spares for your dual axles. I used to wonder how people...
You might try Duke's Paint and Body up in Saginaw. I've seen some of Billy's work and it is top notch....
I'm a squared off, long roof kinda guy. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
If it is engine noise, you might be able to get a muffler that is quieter. Probably special order and could be pricey.
Good stuff. I see the casting is different than the ones I have. Very angular. Any idea what it came out of? On a side note, as previously...
Can we get some pix of this. I've personally never seen a BOP only 200 4R. The list of codes can be found here...
