Good deal on the rebuild! Sounds like a solid book of parts there. Stock stall converter?
I never add all the trans fluid at once, especially with a stock pan and no drain plug. Add 8 quarts and start it up. But have funnel and open quart bottles ready to add more as the fluid circulates. Fill until the level just touches the bottom of the hash marking on the dipstick. Shift through the gears in place, check fluid, test drive and take fluid with you. Always do a final fluid check when trans is at operating temperature. Even then, don’t fill it entirely. I like to have my fluid level half way in the hash markings.
The transfer case should have a drain and fill port. Add ATF+4 until fluid just starts to flow out of the fill port.
Stripped the splines in the hub. that's actually the failure you would want on the input shaft if you had to choose one...
Input fail - YouTube added a link so you can see real time whats going on....sad but I have a few just like that one lol
Interested to know how this happened. I am by no means abusive to this truck. And it’s not like it has Hobbs of power, just an antiquated Edge tuner. I’ve only ever done one small burnout. But who knows what was done to it previously.
Did find out this trans has been rebuilt in the past, in 2013. But oh well I think it’s built pretty stout for what i’l use it for. So there should be no worries for a while! ?

After posting that I realized I was a little late to the party.. Phone didn't show me page 2 of the thread.. The first trans I did that on was my 03ho with the new at the time tst box on my 3rd gear shift going up a hill. My right foot caused mine. Yours let go on an easy shift but what about a few days, a week or month before ? could have been shocked and waiting to let go. Im assuming this is a common rail. Tons of torque down low. Good luck with the new trans..
Gotcha, drive only applies forward clutches while not moving and reverse only rear servo...a lot of places for fluid to go after it cycles through the gears and locks up. im sure you will be fine. I always check in neutral while running, just make sure you check both sides of the stick. also trans fluid will read high on the stick while not running....
Your shift kit does allow for fluid to circulate while in Park. I still check fluid level with trans in Neutral.
Sounds like all is good with the rebuild. You will like the converter. Especially with a lock up switch.
I just had to hook mine back up and forgot the wiring procedure. Getting old is heck.
