  • GM 700R4 question

    From Snag@21:1/5 to All on Tue Feb 15 12:08:32 2022
    I'm having a shop do some upgrades to the trans in my truck - this is
    not the original, came from a van . The converter lockup solenoid has a
    problem , either a shorted coil or grounded supply wire because it keeps blowing the fuse (which also is the power supply for the radio!) . The
    shop has recommended I change it to a hydraulic lockup device and I'm
    wondering if it's a good idea . Anybody here have experience ?
    I'm also having the speedo drive gears replaced (new axle ratio)
    along with the tail housing bushing and seal , and a shift kit .
