Honestly... It sounds like it's hanging up... But I have no clue unless I were to drive the truck. Who's Level 10?

they are out of hardyston nj. It was either bts or them. They were 18 hrs closer to home. An hr from my house. They have been in a few diseal mags, and they build lighting trans and mustang trans. The owner seems to be really smart he showed me my old tranny and the parts and swapped everything out in one day. I was in at 7 and out at 2:30. They also have a shop in dubia(egypt).

Call them.

You likely won't get any help from us since we don't even know who that company is.

I j ust took the truck out again. I have the boost set at 35-36lbs but it wont go over 32 thats when it seems to die out. Maybee a vacume leak?

Ok now what i got is i washed my engine and now my boost guage says -6 at idol. That means a boost leak right? Or vacume leak?

-6?? Did you leave a rag in the intake?? Where are you getting the boost reading from? And where are you seeing 32 PSI?? That's GOTTA be absolute pressure.

No the truck ran fine i was boosting at 37lbs before the new tranny. The boost reading is from the cold side of the intake manifold. 32lbs is when im driving and once it reaches that truck dies down wont build more boost.

A diesel tranny is not even in the same league as a gas tranny. Just because someone can build a performance Mustang tranny, doesnt mean they can build a performance diesel trans
