So I have been doing a bunch of mandatory maintenance plus some preventative this summer.
My van has been pulling bad to the right while braking and I finally pulled off my calipers and found this on my drivers side.....
Got some new calipers and pads on, bled the fronts and good to go, cheapest mechanical thing I have done to my van, lol.
My starter also died so did some research and instead of keeping with the stock Mitsubishi I decided to upgrade to a moster of a starter know as the Denso from Japan and holy cow this thing is powerful.
just look at the size difference, this thing should last forever, it bolts up with 2 bolts instead of 3 but other than that was a super easy install.
And finally my stock transmission has 220k on the original transmission and I have been having my OD light flash on and off for a year and a half (haha, suprised its lasted me this long in that condition) the torque converter has been slipping but its getting to the point where it wont downshift on large hills so I finally decided to bite the bullet and get a new one.
Both BTS and John Wood had about a month wait time so I did a bit more research and found that Dieselsite also seems to make a pretty nice transmission and decided to go with them and Dan there has been amazing and they built and Dyno tested mine in about a day then shipped it out the next, I was very pleased (no affiliation). Hopefully its the last transmission I will ever need.
I have the older E4OD and they upgrade and replace it with all 4r100 hardparts, all steel planetary gears, billet torque converter, 120% greater clutch surface, etc, etc, their site has all the details I wont bore you with. Seems like a pretty solid trans for a decent price considering and should be way better than a ford HD reman
Going on the dyno, getting installed next week here in Utah, can't wait to see the difference.
