I have heard the computer stores info like mis-firings and such that my scanner cannot access. I know that sounds stupid, I would assume if there were any type of error code the MIL would come on and I'd know to look for a code. I have an OBDII scanner that checks for codes and can clear them, but I'm not entirely sure it can access transmission error codes. this can be changed but requires a lot of knowledge of spring swapping. not sure you are going to like how it shifts. I have installed the "monster in a box" kits, they are excellent. You bought a transmission that is really meant for high hp V8 engines. the dealer is no going to reprogram it, they are simple going to check for residual codes. most local garages will have the handheld reader. any garage can do this, buy your own machine, probably as cheap. what they want is any residual codes to be cleared if there were error codes. It is the controller that tells the transmission what to do. The transmission has no intelligence, no residual intelligence, no information sent to the ECU. Monstertrans says it must be cleared prior to driving with the new tranny. Does anyone have any idea what info they clear in the memory? What would be stored in there that would mess up a new tranny. I will do the install and then tow it to a dealer for the reprogramming. But in this case I guess I don't have a choice. I do all my own work on my vehicle to avoid getting ripped off and having to rely on idiots. Total cost was $1660! I absolutely HATE that I will have to take the van to a dealer to have the tranny memory in the computer cleared before I can drive it. Just a personal pc of advise.I know you said you want gnarly,but after two months of driving it and everytime shifting it goes bang,you do tire of that.I am very sure you could build a tranny to do that and it would live very well.The other consideration is remember your only as good as your weakest link.That poor 7.5 ring gear rear end can take alot,but at some point after beating like that,it is going to show signs.Īs I think about this more,Peter had a programmer on his 502 ZZ 97 Safari van that he could dial in the shift points and how hard they where.The best of both worlds,but again very expensive.ĩ7CargoCrawler wrote:Well I finally saved up enough money to buy their rebuilt Mega Monster SuperSport tranny and heavy duty 1650 stall torque converter. I am a huge supporter of TCI.They are a manufacture of the upgrade parts they sell which has come about threw yrs of R&D so the parts are first class and the tech line is as well.There are levels of rebuilds to choose from so if you call them up,they can suggest which one to buy.They also support the lines with the electronics's mods/controllers.As a example,they are to my knowledge,the only aftermarket company that sells a 6 speed auto which is very very expensive.But it does show their innovation's and knowledge of auto trannys.As a side note,I see in the link they offer vett servos,where TCI sells their own brand that is larger with a bigger surface area.
