And then I get in my van and the seat is soaking wet. I'm telling you, this woman is going to be the death of my van and I.

But my agenda when I return to florida is really to replace the suspension, torque converter, and the rest on that list. I just hope my receipt for the torque converter hasn't faded.


Last time my mom borrowed a car from me she blew it up less than 5 miles from home. NOBODY borrows my van, there aint no arguement, woman or not. I put too much heart and time and money into it to let some one who doesnt respect vehicles to slam doors, spill coffee and park the shopping cart against it. not happening. I'd let maybe 3 other people drive my van, and they are all in my club and more careful with their vans than i even am.

I am with ya there, I normally never let anyone near my van. But like I said, I just didn't need the headache. I am mad about the scratch, sure there is body rust in some areas but come on...

But, the scratch is so sever it cannot be buffed out. But hey as long as it runs well and so on, but once I repaint it no one is touching it!

I can't wait till I replace the rear suspension, have everything in the back of the van waiting for me to install, the new springs are yelling my name! So embarrassing driving around with a van that has a saggy asss!

RamVan..

A guy in our club has a 2001 Dodge van (5.9L) and he was having the famous TC shutter during the 1-2 shift. He had the converter replaced with a heavy duty unit and all is right with the world again. Rest of the transmission was fine.

make sure to get some touch up paint for it to keep it from rusting.

Thanks, I don't have 1-2 shudder. My shudder is when the TCC disengages during WOT, it doesn't shudder anymore though because I killed the converter though lockup still engages and dissengages. But I know exactly what is wrong with the transmission, I specialize in building these torque flites for performance and heavy duty use. But I used a cheap converter which I knew wasn't the best decision but like I said I only had so much money left.

The broken converter explains why the vehicle doesn't always engine brake and why the vehicle rolls down some hills. Thing is the converter didn't start to whine until recently, but during the time it wasn't whining when the vehicle didn't want to engine brake, I knew that it would be the converter. But anyways, my WOT 1-2 shifts are slightly delayed but that isn't a biggy.

I'm 1 mile from 133K miles!
