    I take the EPC out and put a vacuum module in it to control the fluid pressure. Screw the GM computer logic!

    Broke my 60e in a roll race. stock trans with a Yank 3k stall, 30k trans cooler, Transgo HD2 kit and servos. Had the trans in 3rd at 5500 rpm in 3rd i back out of it and the trans locked up! Broke the drive shaft in half, broke the tail housing on the trans, broke the trans mount, cracked the case and who knows what else inside the trans......... I have a fully built 60E from Wiley trans in Round Rock aka DBRODS trans guy. so far so good trans has been great since the rebuild....

    I wonder what broke in that thing to cause it to lockup? Have any pics? Did you have the beast sunshell, or the stock one? I have seen the stock sunshell to be the first thing to break in these heavier applications, I have never seen a beast sunshell break.

    its a mystery as to what broke but for the damage that happened something had to seize up cuz the drive shaft twisted in 2 and the tail housing was broke off the trans completely. sun shell was stock this is behind a cammed 5.3 in a reg cab short bed.....i have pics of the drive shaft some place it was trashed twisted like a soda can.
