i run a 2500 but its very hard to crawl with, seem to make evry thing a throttle climb

I have got 2600 in mine with a pretty large cam. That makes a difference with the lope. In Low range it is locked up, you have to brake stand it to have any launch. In high range it is a huge difference. The real difference is on down hills, no back pressure to help slow you down unless you have compression braking in your transmission. :****:

thanks, one more question. what valve body do yall like? manual, reverse, auto?

s10me · Feb 25, 2009

manual reverse, not as far from low to reverse. or run stock valve body and cut the gates out of your shifter, leaving your park gate.

2500 stall and need to change to manual valve body ......Also while your at it get you an Ultra Bell, it is money well spent..............

Run the lowest stall that you can with your motor. The higher the stall...the higher the trans temps. You can run a good cooler to help, but the tranny in slow crawling will always be stalling up and generating heat. I myself hate a manual valve body. I never liked having to shift the transmission. Being able to put the tranny in drive and let it shift on its own.

Not sure I agree with the temperature part. No disrespect, I have a 2600 stall and run one Cooler with a Spal fan and mine never gets above the 160 mark on the guage. I run it in low most all the time and don't ever have to worry about it. As for the Manual valve body, to each his own. It was nice to be able to put it in Drive and go, but I like to grab gears on the run. That is why I have what I do. It is all what you want to do, Launch it or Lunch it. Either way, as long as you keep wheeling. :dblthumb:
