Drove all night and got into some crap this side of Des Moines. I didn't see you but Mopar John was a couple of miles ahead of me and he said he saw you. That storm you went through hit RT66 at about 3:00 I was the last pair to run before the rain came. We were both fully staged when a few drops hit the windshield. I was expecting to be waived off but then the tree came down, luckily I had a descent lite and won the race. They didn't get started again until about7:30

I can actually keep my car at home now so I may be able to get out there. I have solved the issue of the motor going flat at 5000 anyway. I had a 6400 chip in the shift light at Kearney and it was still pulling strong at the gear changes. It was still a pig though. I'm thinking I broke another converter. Time to try a Coan maybe. I'd get a Turbo Action but I don't want to launch my pinion gear to the moon. "Everybody funny, now you funny too."

Trans in the truck worked pretty well. It went into limp mode once in Iowa when I was running 70 up and down all those hills with a 20 mph or so headwind and 90+ degree weather. Slowed down to 65 and it was fine. It is locking up the converter too. I may swap in the valve body from my spare 46RE I have laying around Saturday. "Everybody funny, now you funny too."

With all the rain delays you would have gotten plenty of sleep at 66! Last edited by moparjohn; 08/19/09 10:09 AM.

With all the rain delays you would have gotten plenty of sleep at 66! I thought about stopping in, but after driving all night and fighting the rain I was just too worn out. I had to be in bed early anyway, I am working 3am-3pm this week. "Everybody funny, now you funny too."
