DML,
Shift Kit update:
got the package from Transgo finally! List= 149.00 This kit fits All Mopar
automatic transmissions: 727, 904, 518, 500, 44RH/RE, 46RH/RE.
IF i can set up a "distributor-ship" with them, we get (no matter how many
takers there are) a 30% discount or $104.30/kit (I heard some one on the
list get an offer for 87.00 and change??)
IF we can put together a 1500.00 total order, we get an addtl. 25% off or
78.25. This means , for a factory deal, that we need around 20 people
commited to buying a shift kit to get them at 78.00 + change.
All of this comes from the Transgo literature and not from personal
negotiations with Transgo. Has anyone heard of/ negotiated a better
offer????? Speak Now (or later...)
Ive been swamped at work but, we just switched to 4 10s from 5 8s so by
Friday evening I should have addtl info on whether I can swing this deal! If
not, were gonna have to go to a distributor and negotiate.
I feel, that provided there are no "bad installs" this is the way to go
to firm up your shifts AND its compatible with the computer upgrades. The
video is clear and a big + at Transgo is their real time, on the phone tech
help. They suggest that anyone buying the kit call them before the install
to determine exactly which "flavor" of the kit you need based on your
driving/vehicle profile.
Ill keep you all posted, thanks Russ and Colin (I believe)

Subject: DML: Y pipes, others
other part of the exhaust. In one area it's pinched flat almost half the
diameter. Even just replacing that would free up the flow by a large
margin.
My local muffler shop quoted me $350 for a complete system; Y
pipe, free flow cat, 3" cat back through a "turbo muffler", out the
back. If I could get a set of JBA headers for $250, I'd have a decent
system. By the way I do not condone taking the cat out of the system
completely unless your truck will never see street use. I like breathing
something that comes close to O2.
Did anyone get my post on a one piece drive shaft? Will the one
from a 90 CC with 4spd OD trans bolt up to the V8 truck??
Another thought just filtered through the fog in my brain. There
is a piece advertised for GM TB's that fits between the TB and the
intake. It raises the TB about an inch, and the claim is that it gives
about 10 more HP, with similar Torque increases. Would something like
this work for our Dak's?? Or is this another GM gimmick to smoke the
public?? ( The ALL new 99 Sierra P/U. Looks the same, smells the
same.....).
Any more progress on the shift kit for the 4spd OD Trans??
This is an excellent list. Thanks for the hard work Jon.
