1992Chevy K1500 Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 700r4s are nice with the over drive but stock there not to stong... had a rear end let go and the shock load took te tranny with it...put a TH400 in.. was going down te road doing about 40mph wanted to throw it in nutral to cheak something out and hit reverse accidently... nothing happend to tranny slowed me down kinda quick tho lol this is in a 1990 K-15 Yeah. That'll happen. Those TH400's are strong too. Both are good transmissions. Can't go wrong either way unless you use the wrong parts.

I drive the van with kid gloves on. It handles like a big cushy marshmallo anyway. LOL. Since I already have the 700r4, I will just put it back in there and see how things go. I mean- if I get the 350 in there and the trans goes south after that, I can upgrade then. Damn.... I really need to get started on the motor! The holidays are coming up- I have been so busy with work I haven't had time for Anything else. Hopefully I can get some stuff started soon. 12 - 12"s in the STAY PUFT 1989 Chevy Astro Build & Comment Log Un-Interrupted Build LogYouTube Channel Chevy Trailblazer 5.1 Dolby Digital DTS Install You have a beard of a mysterious sea captain.

Colin - STAPUFT Posted January 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Nothing new here, just some pics. I had someone ask me about where I did my big 3 so, I figured I would post them here too. ...and before you people start knockin' my welding wire and cheap-o connections, check back on page 1 where I said this was gonna' be a cheapie budget build. I used the factory locations and just beefed them up with wire I had available and laying around. So- I have multiple 4 awg for power, a couple of 2 awg and a 0 awg for ground and the alternator charging wire is 0 awg.

Colin - STAPUFT Posted January 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Ok- so I know it isn't a real add to my "Build Log" but.... this will eventually be a part of my van. I know people are all about air horns and train horns on their cars, but you guys will never guess what I found.... an Antique mechanical siren like the ones on old ambulances and fire trucks. The one I got is a Federal Model WG. It is the same siren that is on "ECTO-1" in Ghostbusters (my favorite movie). I should have taken before and after photos when I was working on it. I cleaned it up alot and worked on the fitment of the parts. I also rewired the 12 volt motor and put heat shrink all over the old shielding. The shielding on the original wire was so old it would crumble. It wasn't even plastic- it was a braided type material. I dunno- this may not interest anyone on here, but I can't tell you guys how psyched up I am about my new toy. name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>"> name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"> 12 - 12"s in the STAY PUFT 1989 Chevy Astro Build & Comment Log Un-Interrupted Build LogYouTube Channel Chevy Trailblazer 5.1 Dolby Digital DTS Install You have a beard of a mysterious sea captain.

Colin - STAPUFT Posted January 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 I would think so! LOL. The only time I could use it would be when the van is parked, and even then I could see a policeman in a bad mood getting royally Pissed. The plan is to fab up some brackets and mount it under the van. Hide that joker down there somewhere. The thing is, it isn't like a regular horn where you just honk it and it stops. It revs up and keeps on going for a while- so once you hit it, you are committed. lol 12 - 12"s in the STAY PUFT 1989 Chevy Astro Build & Comment Log Un-Interrupted Build LogYouTube Channel Chevy Trailblazer 5.1 Dolby Digital DTS Install You have a beard of a mysterious sea captain.
