Ok, as you can see my time is limited. Today I went to the local LKQ and pulled a VB. It looks like a virgin that has never been tinkered with. I came home and put it in. I get 3rd gear at around 50 mph. So I might have a governor issue or a cable issue. So I’m somewhat happy now. I don’t...

Air check is good I’m looking at the release pressure on the big bore or the front servo. Air check only checks the small bottom bore, moving the pin up correct? Last I checked before the 2nd tear down was 65 in forward gears. Possible timing issues with the rigid front band. I set it at 2...

It’s all back together. As of 10:30 tonight. Test run on the lift says still no 3rd and I think gov pressure is still low because 2-3 shift doesn’t happen until 36mph. At that point you feel it happen then speed starts slowly dropping. At idle I’m at 22 mph in 2nd gear. I’m pretty sure with no...

It’s out and the verdict is in. The reman pump assembly bolts were never tighten. They backed out a couple turns. Not allowing the stator assembly to seal against the pump assembly. Now back to the 2-3 shift issue. Them Teflon seals are getting replaced with the ones in that came with the kit.

Well it’s been busy. Today was the day I pulled the OD housing off inspected the Governor every way imaginable. I even put a sonnax governor valve in it. The new and improved. Put it back together and seen a spike of maybe 35 while goosing it on the lift. Still 14psi at 25mph and no 3rd shift...

Reverse is firm and solid. That was one of my reasons of tearing that valve body back apart was to check that ball. I had read that somewhere before. Will have to get od housing back up and check reverse pressures. Yes TV cable is maxed out at Wot and loose at idle.

This is in my 95 ram. It’s got 2800 stall converter Red alto power packs in the direct and forward clutches Reman pump with stator shaft. Solid front band 3.8 lever Fresh rebuild with transgo tfod hd-2 kit installed. I have a no 3rd gear condition. Clunk seems to be there but not shift...

Well I did something right yesterday. I got my 9 year old son cranking while I hit it with the timing light I found where I was which way way off and sparatic. With him cranking and fuel disabled I found where I was and popped the cap off I was almost off #1 and close to 8. So I moved the wires...

Your build was what made me chose the Fitech instead of going blow-thru. I’m running the 600pa. With FiTech’s 340lph e85 pump. I wanted to leave that option on the table. My setup is very similar to yours if I remember correctly. Stock bottom end re-ringed and new bearings. Hughes Eq magnum...

Just long enough to reach the distributor.i think I had to add a few inches to reach. No slack. One thing I didn’t think about is I had the battery charger on it the whole time. That could have contributed to some noise. Alternator is not connected. I could try adding some grounds as my battery...

Checked the slop no issue there. So I went about halfway back to where I started set base time at 10 deg. Fired up and tried to idle. Got the timing light out started again and shot the balancer. Showing about 6deg on the balancer. But I would get an erratic spark here and there. Late spark...

Maybe I said that wrong. Only after it’s up and running and I have windowed a cap will I play with moving the reluctor to phase the distributor. That is not my first step in fixing the current issue.

I got some ideas to test. Thanks guys. I really think the fuel pump PWM screwed the pooch on this one. I didn’t change it to 100% after I started messing with the dizzy. As soon as I can get some garage time I will update. Afterthought is I should have set up without timing control but running...

So here it goes dumb it down for me. Anybody care to share their base timing for a 5.9 magnum. I set it up like I would any distributor rotor dead on#1.-10 on the balancer and -10 on the controller and starter was kicking back. Changed to 0 on controller and still no fire. Still fighting with...
