Mike Hutchins Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 sound like you need to unhook the wds and hook up a pres. gage to the tranny,my guess would be a failing torque converter.

Torqued_Up Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Do you mean PAINTED purple or an over heated unit with a purple torque converter? /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snw blue by you Posted January 4, 2006 Author Share Posted January 4, 2006 Hey guys, I meant painted purple. Didn't anybody else see the Fordstar broadcast about modified vehicles and lack of maintainence, and how you could trash someone's warranty? It showd a worked over SD 7.3 with a purple trans. Anyways I found out it is an ATS super duper level 5 triple wazoo slushbox and converter. Way more tranny than this truck needs,but then, a fool and his money are soon parted. If the truck is still here tommorow, I'll take pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 ATS super duper level 5 triple wazoo slushbox and converter. Is that like an "Oooooh Eeeeeeh, Oooooh Aaaaah Aaaaah, Ting-Tang Walla-Walla Bing-Bang?" /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/rofl.gif There's a couple company's or shops that build these super strong racing and towing transmissions. For some of these guys I think it's a good mod to add if they are bumping up the power output of their engines. Now, A more sensible and useful mod I thought of was to add a cooler module similar to what UD trucks hang off of the frames of their auto trans equipped trucks. It's simply a cooler in an enclosed housing with a thermostat, relay and an electric fan. You could mount it under the pick-up bed on the frame in front of the right rear wheel. Add a switch for constant cooling and there you go. This would be great for guys running plows. I bet it would cut down on fried units caused by snow plowing!

dezl_dr Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Brians truck shop or BTS transmissions use that converter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ggg Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I've noticed a lot of aftermarket transmission companies painting their products purple. Must be some sort of a fad. I have seen ATS transmissions and their torque converters are painted purple, BTS uses a torque converter that is painted purple but their trans is not. A few other companies are also using purple paint on their clutches and torque converters. Some companies on e-bay are even marketing their products as "high performance purple". I just do not understand how gullible some consumers can be if they think purple paint makes a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
