Just built this trans a year or two ago. Well played tug o war on dry pavement against a 13 f150 5.0 he stood no chance. Pulled him about 20 feet. All 4 of my 35s spinning then bang.
Think I lost a planetary.
I knew I should have went with a 48re planetary.
Anyway I'll post pics when I don't the damage. Got the pan off tonight. Just a little brass so far.uploadfromtaptalk1427261105744.jpg

I'm pretty proud of it actually and he'll never hear the end of it. He's a co worker and I already don't shut up about how much better dodge is than his girl truck

Hey now, i've got the ford oval tattooed on my shoulder!

Whoa whoa what are you doing with a dodge?... I guess even ford guys need a reliable vehicle

Well this truck kinda fell into my lap, my last truck was a damn good truck but sitting on 40 in tires and getting about 5 or 6 mpg, so i traded for something that gets better gas mileage and i can actually drive home. Plus i haven't had much experience with dodge seeing as most people i know are too smart to get one :D. Funny you say that when my trucks sitting outside needing a new hub plenum gasket o2 sensors exhaust rusted brake lines the list goes on.:roflsquared:

Intrepids are cool. As long as it doesnt have that 2.7 in it from what i've heard. I've owned 2 300m's with the 3.5. Nice engine there! Congrats on the kill! I have a similar buddy w an eco-boost f-150. He gets mad when you tease him about it, lol. I know, I have a ford in my sig, but that little ecoboost is in a class all by itself. I like all kinds of different makes and models but have always been a mopar nut.
