I think this will work. May add a 12psi or so blow off vent.

That will be going back to GM for them to see what happened.

If the cylinder wasn't scored it would be a shame but it needed sleeving anyways lpl

I just wanted to go back to your statement about driveshaft rpms. If your trans shifts at about 6000rpm of motor speed then in 4th gear at 1:1 ratio your driveshaft is at 6000 rpms. 6000 rpms in overdrive.... say .5:1 your shaft would hit 12000 and probably reside elsewhere. Anyway I dig what you're done to your truck and will follow your build. Btw I have a Strange chromoly 3.5inch shaft in my TransAm. It's rated at 1200hp and 9000rpms.

I wish. Also I did the whole turbo diesel thing (Cummins) doing mild stuff about 10 years ago at the infancy of the diesel power world, I made 617rwhp and over 1200 torque. Nothing compared to todays rigs

Your data is correct although I'm not sure but think the 8l90 has no 1:1 exact on the nose correct me if I'm wrong

trik396 · January 30, 2017

I also want to state that I know you wouldn't/couldn't be at 6grand in overdrive but my point is still valid. And my at the time wife had the first year X5. You are a younger version of me. Ha

Lol @32 I feel old as hell

Denali62 · January 30, 2017

Also one more thing. The rpm of the driveshaft will differ from the engine even in a 1:1 situation due to the fluid coupling. That is unless you are doing a full throttle converter locked shift into 7th lolol.

trik396 · January 30, 2017

According to what I've read 6th gear is 1:1. 7th is .85:1 and 8th is .65:1

Cool thanks for looking that up for me. Got the truck back and it's doing well aside from the fresh air hoses that were barely pressed on the valve cover. -

Got home and went to install my driveshaft...

Doh!!! The stockers are 1410 not the 1355 I had read. My new shaft has 1350's so I had to make a compromise I really wish I didn't have to do and ordered some 1350 to 1410 conversion joints.

Just wanted to keep anyone else.from making the same mistake

Darth_Vader · January 31, 2017

The stockers are AAM 1415's. Spicer 1410's won't work either. Just get a 1350 pinion yoke.

Denali62 · January 31, 2017

I really don't want to go into my diffs until I have some parts to go with. May just pay to have the shaft recut.

Denali62 · January 31, 2017

You guys think I can get away with changing the yoke and zipping it back together with an impact and call it done instead of replacing the crush sleeve?
