I am installing new C1, C2, And C3 along with transgo kit and the power converter lock up valve 190psi and a Yank 3 disk converter only the C3's looked tosted... the C2's looked fine. I have had the tansgo kit installed for
a some time now, I guess that saved my C2's.. I hope the new converter Valve will keep the C3's from smoking again...

The pictures are hard to make out. some more pictures are herehttp://forum.sanjuanrockcrawlers.com/index.php?act=ST&f=12&t=641

Great pictures. The 3disc converter will help big time along with the valve.

Great pictures. How do your C4's look? When looking at mine the C1,C2,C5 were perfect, but C3 looked just like yours and C4's were a little worse.

Nice to see someone else taking on the job in the garage.

I didn't check them I expected to only find the C2's burn (but they looked fine) I had limped it a couple of times in overdrive. Now after seeing the C3's and what you said I wish I had ordered C4's. I only ordered C1,C2,C3's

I have to have the truck on the road buy tuesday. Or the wife will killl me:D

I finished it up and took it out and tested it with a 40,000 lbs Mixer loaded with Gravel up a good incline

Nice job. I would have been worried about that tow strap. I knew these trucks were tough.

GM should put these pics in a commercial.:lol:

IMO you need to add something about the cement mixer towing to your sig along with the rice eater.
