125s are probably more my speed then. Not going for big numbers really, just want her to be peppy. Not looking for huge boost cause headstuds are out of my price range. Maybe 125s and a decent turbo that can supply nice cfm without starting to warp things.

Trans is warrantied to 450 hp or so, that was before I added billet anchors and better bands... not that those small upgrades will make it or break it lol. But yeah, I'm concerned she'll be pretty smoky if I do the injectors without a real turbo on there. I don't mind a puff of smoke or so, but I'm not exactly looking to black out an intersection when I get on it. And the banjo bolt on the back of the head links to the vp return? Ok, good info, thank you.

2000 with Raptor 150, Edge JWA, full 1/2" line from tank to VP, S&B intake. After sitting, she cranks and cranks (5-12 seconds) before starting, and then billows white smoke. I haven't noticed missing coolant so I don't think I'm losing compression via a bad headgasket. Had a bad starter that I replaced and oddly enough a bad vp ground at the same time but this didn't fix the issue. So this leads me to believe I'm losing prime since vp issues typically manifest when hot, not when cold. But my lift pump is tied into a toggle switch on the dash. I can turn on the pump and instantly be at 20 psi right before the vp, so even if I had a small leak, i'd push any air out of the system by turning on the pump. This leads me to think that if prime is in fact the issue, its after VP, maybe crossover tube o rings. Had the air bled professionally in may after the transmission guy ran her dry on accident and the problem didn't surface until recently. Planning on going into 7x10.5 or so ducky injectors, should I just do that now and kill 2 birds with 1 stone?

Cracked 47re case, internals are good. Will a 47rh case work if we modify the plug to accept the new plug instead of the old 3 prong?

Alright, I've got a few things to investigate. Thanks a lot guys, helped me sort through the issues.

Yeah, I know the solenoids are new, a broken wire or something sure would make sense. I don't really know where to start tracing though... Basically from the PCM I'm guessing.

Yeah, I've only driven it to see if adjustments have helped and to bring it home form the barn where I was working on it. We've been in touch.

But no free rev during the slip at all. Rpms stay consistent.

No, he's about 4-5 hours away. I went up and got the new transmission from him personally. The squealing is sometimes accompanied by the transmission jerking, like I can feel it buck. When the old transmission was doing this, I took it to a local shop and they said I needed a full rebuild due to chips in the VB and when the guy who rebuilt my trans took it apart, he showed me the extreme wear on the internals. I'm at 35mph or so around 2000 rpm, 45mph around 2500 rpm or so. I don't like pushing the rpms up that high so I only did it once to test. Once in a while I'll get this halfass shift kind of feeling around 15mph/1800rpm, but it isn't an actual 1-2 shift. Unfortunately, I can't bring it back to him since he's so far. I simply can't pull the trans again, drive it up again, and reinstall it again while balancing school and work.

Oh, and it was built by Black Sky Racing. Place came extremely highly recommended from people all over the midwest and the owner/main guy seems like a straight shooter and very knowledgeable.

It slips when I put it in drive and then again sporadically while driving making that awful squeal noise. I only have one gear and it doesn't seem like 3rd since I don't really labor to take off, its just slow. I might try the resistor in line trick and see if that fixes it. Could be the computer telling the trans to limp I guess. Cheap thing to try.

The only one I've heard good things about in my area can't seem to call me back. Or I would've just given in and done that by now.

I just think it has to be more than coincidence that this new transmission is giving me the exact same issues as the old transmission. It seems like it has to be something with the truck more than the transmission itself.

Good point, it's a 2000 2500 4x4. The pressure in the lines were said to be 80 psi by the guy who built it, so I'm assuming that's at idle. I know the gov pressure solenoid is aftermarket, as are all the electronics in the new trans I believe, I don't think he used the older style stock ones. The torque converter is a low stall single disc billet one, I don't know the brand but I know it is a decent one, sorry I don't know much about transmissions at all. I'm not getting a temp light, but it seems as though the truck may actually be starting in 2nd gear since takeoff is slow and I can get up to 40 mph around 2000 rpm. I'm not sure if this could be limp mode, since limp mode starts in 3rd gear, or so I hear. Our issues seem similar. Everything I'm hearing is pointing to pressure, which makes sense. I'm just terrible at diagnosing what is causing it lol.

I blew everything out with air, all the liquid I got out was quite clean.
