New L owner!

[PearlBlue L]

you would have to drain the tranny fluid and look at the valve body itself. if its from ftvb there should be something written on it with marker saying what kind it is.(i think)

 

[PearlBlue L]

how many miles are on it and how much did you end up getting it for?

time to lower that thing

 

[Wiked L]

That seems like a lot of work just to find out about the valve body.

It has 32,000 miles on it we got a great deal. Mod money is tight. I don't know if I wanna lower it yet. I've been tinker with the idea of a different hood. I really hate the stock ones. I don't know what Carl has budgeted me yet.

dont know about that intake

the stock tranny pan you have to unbolt every bolt and tip it to drain the fluid... or some people punch a hole in it cause they are putting a bigger better one on. take a pic of the pan and i'll tell ya if its stock or not, maybe someone put a drain plug on the stock one

 

[IEatGt's]

That's what I'm talkin' about!!!!! :beer:
I wish I could talk the wife into an L of her own!!!! I guess a Cobra would work also.

Nice looking truck. White was my second choice.

That looks like a MAC CAI.

Is that one any good???

 

[ChrisNelson]

... trans pan has drain and looks stock.

Sounds like a 4x4 pan to me. Does it shift hard?? It may already have a FTVB or LFPVB.

Is the 4x4 pan a common upgrade? Does it just hold more fluid or is it better in another way?


Yes it does shift pretty hard, especially the 1-2... I am hoping it is a VB and they didn't monkey with the tune. LOL

 

[ChrisNelson]

Yeah, it holds more fluid and is very common.

 

[Wiked03]

Yeah, it holds more fluid and is very common.

Thanks! I also did a search and found a ton of trans pan threads. Still trying to find a pic of a 4x4 pan to verify thats what we have, but I am pretty sure thats what it is, based on what I have read.


You guys have been a ton of help... Thanks!!!
