Bad Converter or not
 
So i have a single disk billet converer. Recently my truck started a shudder in OD only when under hard load. Fluid was burned. Converter seemed great before fluid burned. Put in fresh fluid but didnt fix problem. Will a upgraded valve body solve this or have I ruined my converter. Could it be slipping the od unit and not the converter. Thanks for any input:argh:

If the fluid is burnt then more than likely so are your clutch packs.

Caaca a:argh:That means I should probably just gimp it arround until I can afford a built tranny. What is good tranny tha will hold 400hp/1000ftlbs and how much should I save up

Id have someone pull the trans and see if it needs rebuilt. If so I would do a rebuild, valve body and TC.

Well it looks like diesel dawg was right. A few days ago I was driving in overdrive and all of a sudden lost all gears forward and reverse. No choice now but to rebuild the tranny. A broken transfer case chain would not cause this would it?
