I took you on the wrong trails at the wrong time of year. I’ll make it up to you if you ever come back :)

Could be front pump drive again? Or junk converter? I’d check super closely... :(

freshly rebuilt trans pump assembly sourced locally for 75$ with core exchange

re assembled and fully functional.

Massive improvement with stall increase from stock ~1500 to 2600 now. 

doesnt push through brakes and crawls the loading dock with ease again. 

lets go wheeling / racing.

my LS guy recommended Bart in Palmyra, he runs a small auto repair shop but does a ton of transmission build stuff.  was very knowledgeable and had everything i needed, gaskets ect.

after basically loosing a season of racing and wreck wheeling im going to source a stock 5.3 block and R&R.  i dont have the patience, funds, or expertise to tune a big cam 5.3 for ofroad use.  i give in.  sounds cool but just isnt cutting it for practicability.

Day on dyno with experienced tuner would fix.

My 2c

Mine won’t crawl either now. Won’t spin the tires in high range. Almost couldn’t drive up hills with rocks in high with the stock converter.
