Re: 68 c10 6.5 turbo diesel

Update. Truck ran great tell it got 150 miles on it and boom! I was showing off and speed shift while still boosting and stripped out third gear. Scared the crap out of the kid I had with me. It was my mistake as I had tore trans apart once before and didn't reshim it. I got new gears from Tremec that are a little stronger. I shimmed it tight tight this time. Truck now has about 1000 miles on it. Not easy miles ether! First tank got 18mpg second 20mpg I am still on third tank. Truck is pretty quick but will be building a full manual 4l80 for it. Will also be building a new tune for it with every thing we can through at it.
