Re: My 52 GMC Build

Well the truck broke on the weekend.
I didn't tell you all till I figured out what happened. My boys and I where driving along pulling the trailer talking about how good everything was working (mistake). Cruising along at 55mph a bang came from the transmission and the rpm went up 400rpm. We pulled over did a few tests to see what was going on. I could move but when I gave it a bit of throttle it let go and sounded like a bag of marbles. So called for a flat bed tow truck. Monday night Joe and I pulled the trans and I took it back to the shop to get fixed again. There was lots of metal filings in the oil. They pulled it apart and just like Joe and I figured it was the torque converter that broke inside for some reason. Not my fault, not my trany shops fault. Converter is getting cut apart tomorrow to see what happened. So my trans shop is going over the whole thing again no other problems in the trans. I should have it back Friday or Monday.
While the trans is out and the truck on a hoist I decided to move my rear cooler (it was under the bed) and found a spot right up front. I'm using both coolers still. It has been really hot here most of the summer so it's great to test all the cooling systems like today it was 91*/104*F with humidity.
