I installed a banks powerpack on my brother in laws 95. it also came with a transloader which i installed. the problem i am having is that in driving down the interstate, it always seems like it needs to shift into high gear. I am not that familiar with driving his truck, but it turns about 2800 at 80. It has standard siae tires and i think a 3.73. Whatever ger came stack. I clicked the overdrive button and it is functioning properly. Anyone seen a problem like this???
When you said Transloader did you mean Transcommand? My Transcommand came with a bypass plug, If you have one of those, I'd plug it in and see if your trans module is bad.

Depending on tire size, 2800 at 80 sounds resonable for a 4.10 rear end. The truck in my signature turns just about 2500 at 70 with 33's and 2250 or so at 70 with 35's.

The only rear end option was 4.10. As far as 2800 RPMs at 80 that isn't quit normal. I hit 80 at about 2400 RPMs in my truck.

3:55's were also an option. door code 39 for an open or C9 for limited slip.
sounds like normal RPM for 4:10's. 4:10's are not ment to go 100 mph, you need 3:55's for that. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smokin.gif[/img]

I agree with that. The top end on the 3.55's was much better than the 4.10's, but I like the take off a whole lot better as well as overall throttle response. Besides 100MPH tickets are very espensive...I have some experience with the 88 in 55 zone for racing a KR SD. Oh well it was worth the look on his face!!!

I was also wondering if anyone had this system, and how loud it was. His is extremely loud, I have checked over and over for an exhaust leak and cannot find one, but it is way louder than before
louder inside or outside??? I can just hear a slight rumble from both mine in the cab and they bark pretty good outside.

I don't know what I am doing, I just know I don't have time to do it.
When I still had the banks exhaust it was much quieter than what I have now. Your noise may be from the up-pipes, as the turbo would have been off to change out the exhaust housing - check the doughnut gaskets for soot. Another place to check is the downpipe to transmission clearance. If a muffler clamp was used to secure the two halves, (vs. a band clamp) the muffler clamp may very well be contacting the transmission while under load - it's a drone that will drive you crazy.

thanks, i will check that.....i do not recall any donought gaskets though.. I had a v clamp on the turbo outlet, and then the downpipe went down and attached to the cat section. Where is the donuts you are talking about????? One thing i do know is that the clearance on the downpipe between the tunnel/firewall was extremely tight. You think this would be a drone?????
If that downpipe ever touches anything other than air you will transfer vibration(noise) right into your cab. Get a porta-power and make yourself some clearance, you wont be sorry.
definitely the down pipe resonation. it can not be touching the body. even properly installed, these early trucks do resonate loudly inside from the hi-perf round downpipes a lot more than the newer trucks with room for these.
I put in floor, door and firewall sound insulation. it helps some, but 4.10's at interstate speeds are musclecar loud.
