If you're going to purchase a new BOV, look for an adjustable unit. No sense having a non-adjustable unit that is too soft for high boost, or one that is too tight for stock boost levels. I've had good luck with Tial & TurboXS units.

I wonder if it has knock ign. retard capability? [/surfing for accell info...]

I was just making a funny, saying you're a runaway of while I'm doing this, I might as well do this as well. It's the "might as well" syndrome! Looks like you've got it 100% now. :)

Pressure drop can also be inferred from end tank volume, which that dual a2a has in spades. That thing probably has a rather large pressure drop. There's another problem with it's endtank design. Since the hot entrance and cold exit are immediately across from one another, the majority of the...

::thumbsup:: If that's not encouraging, I don't know what is. Thanks Wes! p.s. -Just how much does that boat weigh?

Just a 6: Glad to hear we are on the same page. You have one of those no-bull sytles of writing, I just wasn't sure at first. :) Servando: Thanks for the lengthy reply! (I'll keep your tranny in mind :wink: ) So basically, while towing the trans should not downshift or upshift at full boost...

NJTY180: With regards to using a 400, changing the final drive ratios front and rear would help improve gas mileage. Off the top of your head, do you know what other ratios are available or where I can look for that type of information? Thanks for your level headed answers, they are very...

Good Lord! Are you aware of anyone selling cryogenticaly treated components? That treatment worked well for other problem transmissions I have delt with. On the flip side, I read that sticky thread about swapping in a 400. That seems like a more purposefull approach, one that would allow...

He's a runaway!

Just how badly are those blades bent? Pics?

I have quattro pro, so the spreadsheet comes up blank. Oh well. :cry:

For my own edification, did the Astro/Bravada have the torque split more towards the rear, or were they 50/50? What breaks the transmission? In other words, what part fails fist? In my experience, gear teeth break off because they are dimensionally too small to support the load placed upon...

Cool, that means aftermarket boost controllers can be used. Things like gear-based boost limiting and RPM specific boost targets come in really handy!!!!

It is hard to determine attitude over the internet, so I will not say anything negative to this. Subaru's have tranny failures at just 200hp, they don't need any mods to break their boxes. So yes, heat and torque are the enemy of any trans. Thanks for solidifying the heat as a major concern. For...

If I was buying a truck ONLY to tow with, I'd buy something more purposeful. However, I'm looking for a dual purpose truck, one that can haul ass one weekend and haul my bikes the next weekend. Doesn't sound like too much trouble. After all, I'm only talking about 1-2,000lbs here. So here's...

Sounds like heat and shift firmness are the two main culprits here. Since both of those can be addressed, I'm feeling optomistic about this project. Thanks for the advise guys (and gals?)!

Looks chameleon in the 5th pic! 8) Very nice.

I found that misguided tow rating on autotrader.com while comparing the Sy to the Ty. Here we go, some better info from syty.org .... Since these transmissions are used in other tow worthy GM trucks and vans, it seems unlikely they are the direct reason these trucks "cannot" tow. Is it...

I'm in the market for a Sy/Ty. It's main usage is two-fold. First off, I like sport trucks, particularly GM/Chevy models, and have owned a few S-10s. Should be fun owning one with some balls! The second use is to tow my sportbikes to the track. The Sy's 1,000lb tow rating is suitable for an...
