That is kinda what we see around here too, granted we are not arizona with high ambient temps most of the year. It seems the fleet, police type vehicles had most of the problems, always blamed on idle time, I say oil change and proper oil is the key. I just do not buy the big oil pump on a 5.7...

I saw that...what I see at idle tells me no way that is the real problem. Thin oil, bad parts, lack of oil changes maybe. 5.7 may have lower pressure with 5-20 at idle. But so many make it to 200k miles so who really knows.

That is typical of what I experienced since the 70s with melling high volume pumps, I would not be happy with what you have either. It could just need a stiffer spring or the 440 source adjustable oil pump relief plug replacement. Fwiw my hellcat idles at 65-70 cold 45 at 212, 65-70 on the...

You would think on a big block it would be pretty hard with only one cam bearing feeding oil, unless the cam is grooved. Stock pan and thick oil maybe.

I would not worry too much about pumping the pan dry with a big block and shaft rockers. Powell machine has a u-tube video debunking this for most engines. Even with bearing clearance at .002 I could never get by with a standard pump....you need about 10 psi per thousand rpm. I would not leave...

Thank you for the code John.

I can only say when year one quit carrying legendary and went to pui they said the reason was lead times. I do not expect to get my stuff fast from legendary when I order it on sale. Everyone I know planning a restoration orders the "soft" parts first, especially if it is not black. In the 80s...

Legendary has ways stood behind their products for me. You have to remember how small of a market this stuff is. I bought pui once, returned it and waited for Legendary.

I bet they can't find anyone to do the work right consistently, you know keep the seams straight, make it the right size and things like that.

You have that right, everyone in my family made it thru college debt free. The reason most will never pay it off is they will not stoop down to the level we did to work and pay it off. What about the cost of health care for the self employed? 8000 a year for 6 people with $1500 deductible in...

The high interest was good for one thing in the 80s, property was cheap, I remember the neighbor came over wanting to sell his commercial building for 80k, my father laughed and jokingly offered him 40k, he came back the next day and said ok. Nobody would lend him the $$$ because he was self...

Maybe, all I know is I never got free money. I did get a bargain on a house in 2008, then furnished it for almost free when all the neighbors lost theirs.

80s were great, bank cd rates were 18%, banks failed and the feds locked our money up for 3 years at 18%, fantastic deal. We could not afford a house in the 80s, but we can now with ease. Oh wait we work 14-15 hours a day, maybe that's it. Up until 2020 everything was pretty good, then the sheet...

Follow their instructions, it also says to remove the restrictor in the front clutch apply if the rpm flares on the 2-3 shift. Follow the instructions and adjust from there.

Never do the reverse slam, Mopars had an issue, when you warrantyitems you find a fix, it happens more after the shift kit and a tighter converter. Putting a Mopar in reverse was known as experiencing a "direct connection" by trans shops around here. Anyway the transgo fix will help.
