    Angry tranny slip ouch

    Did a u-turn and got on it pretty good, then lost all power to the tranny, heard a fast clicking noise. Let of gas completely and waited a second and then eased back on throttle and it hooked back up. Bad feeling in my stomach. Time to take it to the dealer? What do you guys think?

    No mods as of today. so warranty wont be an issue.

    HELP
    2003 HD 6LB Pred. Intake, FTVB, thank you MRBO

    It's possible you starved it for fluid for a second, not good for it per se, but for just a second it's not something I'd worry about.

    would a ftvb and bigger pan possibly help to prevent this in the future since it would have more capacity? Do you think it is damaged. Drives perfectly normal now under all types of driving :0)

    I dont think so GSX, he said he did not spin the tires, just that he got on it and it went out. Rev limiter on or trucks is like 5400 I think unless you removed it with a Predator or some type of tuner.

    Ernie Haire Ford in Tampa looked at the truck and said the tranny was fine. It was a little on the low side for tranny fluid and thats why it slipped so they say. Everything else looks good.

    G was right from FACTORY TECH!!! Thanks for the ftvb.

    Now its time to put on my FTVB and 4x4 pan I got from chickenears!
