94 AUTO towing problems
i was towing a buddy's skid loader up a slight hill today and "almost" didnt make it bc the pedal was to the floor and i was only hitting 20 mph. I was monitoring the gauges and the boost was reading 26 lbs, rpm's were around 2,400 and the weird thing was that my egt's were only at 600? the question is... Is it time for a transmission upgrade or am i not getting enough fuel bc my egt's were so low?

i would say not enough fuel with egt's that low pulling a skid loader. stock fuel plate= no fuel!!!!! pull the tranny dip stick and see if it smells like burnt toast.
|
Sorry to say it but it sounds like it might be time for a new tranny

Your torque converter might be slipping, kinda sounds like what is going on. I would go ahead and get a tc and a valvebody, those should drastically improve your tranny, and if you add alot more power you'll just need to get a heavy duty rebuild kit and maybe a billet input. I just got my tripple disc tc and valvebody from suncoast yesterday for my 97, hope to get it in over the weekend or first of next week so Ill keep you posted on how she holds up. Were going to have a huge sale on Suncoast parts the friday after thanksgiving so if your interested in that, just let me know.:tu:

Floored, 20 mph and the tranny fluid isn't burnt to ash. You got a problem here. That truck should have pulled that thing with out even breathin hard and with that description your EGT's should have melted that engine long before you came to a stop.
I don't know anything about the fueling on these 12V trucks but you a fuel problem there. |
Missed the EGT part, that does seem kind of odd. Does sound like a fueling problem.

how is 600* gonna melt his engine?
