My boring DD build

The real question is, how many times will you get in and try and use the column shifter before you go "oh yeah, Im a dumbass" before you take it out. :D

He should make the floor shifter detachable. That would make a mighty fine theft deterrent device.
 
Maybe I should put a clutch pedal in it too and really fawk a thief up. :haha:

It lives! It goes into all gears and runs great. :cheer: Can't wait to get my drive shafts back and go for a drive.... I'm gonna call tomorrow morning and see what's up with them.

It needs some more tweaking... it shifts way to early... so the vacuum modulator needs to be adjusted.. It has a pretty bad flare on the 2-3 shift so I need to get a shift kit into it. The 2.8L C5 torque converter has WAAAAAAAAAY to much stall. It flashes to 3200 and sits there unless you let off or the vehicle speed matches that RPM. It's pretty much undriveable on the freeway. At 65ish.. it turns 3200 perpetually and if you give it gas to accelerate or go up a hill... it goes to 3500 and sits there.... I don't' think the lockup works or it isn't in this converter.. Besides being a huge waste of gas that's gotta be getting the fluid nuclear hot. :eek:

I'm gonna have to look for another converter or have one made for it.

There's a definite difference on the fin angle between the two converters..

I got it done. It works well. About 1600 stall under light throttle, and will go to 2200 with heavy throttle. The trans shifts allot better too. Not has hard as the Bronco's, but it will probably shift harder the more I drive it.... like they all seem to.

Next up... ball joints, wheel bearings, and radius arm bushings... then maybe I can start driving it and not have to do anything for a while... rolleyes.gif
