Quote: I love the mopar 5 speed auto in the 6.1 cars. The new 8 speed sounds like more of a good thing.
I really like my 518.. I did loose the lock up due to I wanted a high stall conv.. but the OD is great.. and its a mech OD with a switch.. I can leave it on all the time or not and switch it on for the E-way.. with .69 OD it does drop the rpm which is nice.. 2900 rpm at 75 mph... I do wish I had a bit less slippage but thats what I get with a 5000 stall on the street but I do monitor the sump temps but hasnt been a problem but I need to test in high summer temps.. I have another cooler with a fan I can put on it if needed and that would be on a thermo switch for the fan
