I have one of those valve bodies. And so did @ThomasMore66 . You can buy them through cruiser brothers in Stockton

 

Did Cruiser Bros do the install too? Did they do a core exchange? I'm leaning towards them because Stockton is a couple hrs from me. Versus Level 10 or IPT

 

I did the install, and yes you have to do the core exchange. I think from my research, the WAT valve body has more work done to it. They even manufacture their own valve body plates. I will say that the transmission shifts very quick and crisp and is very livable from the comfort side of things. I've had an issue since install that pops its head up every once in a while where if I am backing out a parking space and shift from R to D too quick, it'll actually stall the engine. Its very weird and doesn't happen very often. I have thus far attributed it to install error and haven't dove into it very much. I've had it for two years and about 12,000 miles.

 

Your savy enough you could do the ratio kit yourself. Or install any of these. It wasn’t too bad

 

Indeed! Thanks! Now I need to order one.

 

I didn’t even see the threads about it this year! I made honorary mention last year and got 4th. Already have my 2022 calendar but congrats. I’ll have to pay more attention for 2023 and make sure I get a good pic for it next month at KOH

 

im thinking its jambed up til spring but will likely be a go imho.

 

I was wondering why I didn’t see you. I came up 5th behind you. Some sweet shots of you bombing the taco would have scored for sure

 

Based on the comment they made spring time would be correct

 

We're headed out there as well. Probably taking off the 3rd and 4th for a long weekend. Might hit the road Wednesday night (the 2nd). Keep me posted what you guys end up doing.

 

I got one buddy that will be there all week. I’m heading out early on the 2nd along with a few other friends. And the last of the crew is heading out Thursday.

 

Cool. We'll most likely be staying at my uncle's Buddy's place. He has a house right there at KOH. We use that for Basecamp and cruise to Hammertown area through the desert. We'll have to meet up

 

Tried a 0-60 run. Haven't inputted vehicle profile yet so not sure how accurate, but close enough. 8.7 seconds sound right?

 

Nice. Yeah it seems like I know a ton of people going this year

 

What’s your tire setup look like? At least profile pic doesn’t look too heavy. You do need to adjust the speed offset if your running larger tires. I would expect that a little faster. I’m prob aliens that and my trucks grossly overweight.

 

285/75/16's. I used hptuners to change it but I think it is still off. Getting those street side radars is maybe 1-2 mph off, but 60+ is 5-6 mph off. Not hauling any weight, just the hidden winch bumper up front and a few steel skid plates

 

Happy belated New Year everyone. Just caught up on the thread after another hiatus. Truck has been parked for about 6 months. I've got an intermittent misfire on cylinder 3 I'm currently troubleshooting. P0303 code along with P0412 and P1613 although I'm certain the last two are related to "adjustments" of the SAIS for offroad use aka in a box somewhere.

The misfire has showed up several times. First time was about 18 months ago at the sand drags on a WOT pull. Ran rough while I limped off the dunes, but no mechanical noise. Shut the truck down, checked the code. Pulled the plug. Everything looked okay. I pulled the IC lid and found the foam gasket missing, so I assumed it was ingested because it was there when I reinstalled the blower for the FIC injectors install just prior to the trip. Cleared the code, drove home and the truck ran fine again for nearly a year until this summer. Same misfire and code again on another WOT pull but this time with meth injection. Compression looks good and I don't see anything concerning after scoping the cylinder with a camera. I'm thinking it's the injector, harness, or coil. The truck can sit and then run fine again but eventually the misfire returns. Last trip I got 40 miles before the misfire which then continued until I parked the truck. Plugs maybe have 15k miles. This weekend I plan to swap the coil and injector w/harness each to a different cylinder to see if the issue and code follow one of them. These are the FIC 650 injectors.

 

Quick question James, since you’ve been off road racing and put that equipment in a box for the time being. I assumed you tuned to ecu to compensate the equipment not being there, so why would it still,throw codes? I’m curious because I’m on the bring of making mine off road ready too.

 

Gotcha I was referring more to the BT module. Odbfusion there is a vehicle speed offset. I played and with it until gps and speed was similar but if you changed it may be similar. I thought we couldn’t change it with HP. Interesting.
