Design Limit Investigator
Stanly Clark, Norman Brown, Boney James... all Smooth Jazz rockers. Kenny G is actually a little generic... I just picked that one to poke fun at Jeff ( He hates anything softer than Metalica / Kid Rock!)
But Seriously... Anyone that knows me, or has ridden in my truck, knows how badly I abuse it. Rear tires often last only a few hundred miles, & it rarely sits parked at any get together, as there is always a long list of folks who need to see what it's like to drift sideways at 60mph in a 6000lb pickup.
I use it to transport cars all over my area, & to haul my 30' 5th wheel travel trailer to most races, & even got to haul Jeff's race truck around a few times. I cleaned out my center console a few days ago & there were over 100 time slips (yes, a hundred!) Some from way back when it was in the 13's, up to my most recent NHRDA Super Street Championship winning 11.40 pass. That all adds up to about 40k miles on the Jeff Garmon built tranny, that hasn't even had a fluid change since installed. I dont even want to think about all the times I launched w/ 4th gear manually enabled, or when I try to stop with the converter still locked (thats an ugly sound!)... & jeez, I almost forgot about all the abuse it took while my son was learning to race Quick Diesel with it! (BTW Matt Jr might be the only teenager in the nation to have made an 11sec pass in a 6000 pound truck!) ... but anyway back to the point of this thread... If you need a REAL tranny, You need to meet Jeff.
