Dudes fricken awesome. I took him a 700r4 core to rebuild and was helpful enough to go into detail about the trans, what he looks for while breaking down and rebuilding. Then he gave me the list of things to replace, showed me his kits he puts together. After i installed transmission I have him a call and he walked me through adjusting the tv cable. It's been weeks and I will say I will never go back to the wack th350 again. I use lock up like it's an extra gear( I don't use it below 60) cause I have 3.08 gears.... rpm drop with lock up is an even 400rpm going up a hill. Dude rocks.

Sounds like a good build. Although, I'd check the accuracy of your odometer. I can see a 2-4 mile gain in mpg, but 9? That's pretty astounding.

It's a great build. Yup 9 miles. Speedo is correct so is the GPS :) it also come from using the lock up like I stated. So on accel it don't get turned on till 65 or so. Cruising I'll leave it on till the speed drop below 55. If I'm going up a steep incline and there's a lot of load I cut it off. I still have the factory vac switch
