Bang Bang
Age is a state of mind.
Apparently I completely undersold my 97LX450 that was e-locked and armored with under 200k on it........

Jay Carney had a 40 that went there for some work. There was an invoice. They had some insane prices like $500 for photos and that was 15+ years agoTLC has made a name for themselves, haven't they? They're the only reason I can figure a truck like this can go so high. (Granted, the miles are certainly low(er) for a truck of this age, but it's not new.)
Check out the prices on the TLC services performed.

Looks kind of silver white.
That’s one of ours. Did not know it was on the market. It’s definitely a solid truck.

Full Slee built right?
Yep. Nice.
So that's the BaT 80 that's going up Ingrids!
Not a BAT purchase
Looking at a 94 that has torque converter shudder. Can any reputable transmission shop handle a rebuild or do I need to take it to a specific shop? Any shop recommendations? I’m on the coast.

What makes you think it’s that?
Because it feels like tc shudder I’ve experienced on other cars

Ok. The a442 trans needing a rebuild or torque converter is really unlikely, IMO. Without knowing any details whatsoever I would lean towards it being a misfire of some sort.
Since it’s for sale it could be something as stupid as water somewhere it doesn’t belong from the owner trying to clean the engine bay.

Wait. He drives it without a torque converter?

“VC” maybe lol
I’ve heard the A442F is very tough, and that it’s likely an electrical or computer problem.
However, I can’t find any chafing (not super familiar with an 80 engine bay) and it happens when you’d expect it to (when the TC is trying to lock up in 3rd gear at 2100 rpm’s).
Any help is appreciated
