nobody minds the length of the videos. 30, 60, 90 minutes matters not. good time spent.

Facts

[@ToddKing]

Don't worry about the length Richard. It's just fascinating watching you work. We just want you to impart your knowledge to the rest of us.

[@Gameplay-3D]

the longer the video the more info we get. keep up the great work

[@richardteresacricheducatio3542]

Thank you very much thank you for your support

[@mshort7087]

I love it when Richard says “it’s pretty simple” as he has 1001 parts spread across the bench. Thanks for sharing, Sir

[@transmitterguy478]

I only watch long videos, so make them as long as you want. I learn more that way. Kids must not know they can fast forward ahead. We will keep it a secret.😉

[@stevensantopietro8285]

Another morning, another coffee and another Richard back atcha 👌❤️

[@richardteresacricheducatio3542]

Have a cup for me

[@42Goopy42]

I'd watch a 4 hour video over a few days of free time. No complaints here

[@petepeabody8905]

Richard and Teresa, Still a good amount of work to go, but you pretty much got the tranny figured out. It will be a pleasure watching until that old Dodge is humming down the road....Pete

[@tomduncan1970]

I really missed these videos..... Especially of the Doge transmissions! I couldn't be any happier finding your new Channel!!!!

[@Mxbarry]

Richard and Teresa, good to see you back at it!

[@richardteresacricheducatio3542]

Thank you very much we’re excited to be back

[@mrredpill3121]

it would be the icing on the cake if you take us to class, showing us the assembly.

[@CORVAIRWILD]

I was thinking about the GIANT overdrive spring when I briefly from the 4x4 to a friend's house. @255k, she's been almost used up, but with 3 quarts of tranny oil missing, a fresh oil change, she'll still need a water pump and alternator, but she drives down the road like a dream, notwithstanding 25 year old Firestone tires... go figure

[@hammerjim19741]

Newish fan, can't thank yall for doing what ya do. I have learned alot. Glad to see a true family business doing great...just wanna let ya know, you guys rock

[@jtb52]

Great nice to see a different transmission. This one seemed to have more parts than most

[@loupuleff571]

Richard your knowledge is amazing i'm impressed !

[@richardteresacricheducatio3542]

Thank you trying to spread it around

[@loupuleff571]

Richard you are the most famous transmission guy around I would send my truck from Phoenix for you to work on it !

[@51-FS]

I had a old chevy truck what had a drive shaft in it that the last ownner shorted his self. It was out of balance. Every 3 months the case would crack all the way around. After the 3rd tranny I replaced the drive shaft and it never had that problem again

[@loupuleff571]

Lol Richard that U joint is toast !

[@richardteresacricheducatio3542]

Yes Sir it is

[@davidchristensen2970]

Excellent video, pace is pretty much perfect, information is very helpful, just keep doing it exactly like you are doing it.

Check out power driven diesel for nice upgraded transmission cooler line kit.

Another brilliant video guys

[@Anthony-nw5zv]

Richard, you could make the video 3hours long and your viewers would be that much smarter 😊. I love these videos!

Thank you very much

My boss has a saying "if it has a plug on it, OE only!"

[@Hjfvvdst]

I enjoy the videos no matter the length. Do you have a shop number? Or a means to contact you.

[@kennethconnors5316]

same here , been a long day!

[@rprice7670]

Richard there is no need to keep apologizing for how long your video is. The more the better lol. I only know of 1 other person that is a badass when it comes to building trans like you. Love every minute of your explanations on how it all works. I know as a shop owner and working on cars an trucks for over 40yrs now I love how you go about it. I do have a question about how you say 48re with how the overdrive unit snap rings wear so what about a gas 47re are they the same. Hope you are doing OK with your shoulder surgery. Stay safe guys

[@richardteresacricheducatio3542]

Yes sir they do have the same issue but they did re-designed that drum a little bit The 800 pound spring that applies that clutch I do not believe they ever changed how much force that spring can put on that clutch from gas to diesel you always want to replace that wavy snap ring but you want to look inside the drum where the snap ring rides because it actually wears the drum out to I really like those transmissions I like the sophisticated part of how it is put together and designed

[@rprice7670]

@@richardteresacricheducatio3542 Thank you for the reply. I only ask cause at 275,000 on my wife's 97 dodge ram 1500 4x4 all ome never been into need a converter from towing the race car all over. I took the trans out an the wife talked me into rebuilding it an her knowing I don't know how lol. Well I went ahead an took it apart an it looked new an I was very surprised by the way everything looked. The trans had been serviced every 50,000 but it did set a converter code a couple times. So anyway I had a guy I know that used to work at a trans shop that put everything back together for me but I don't remember him checking that an the snap ring was broken cause the service before I found a piece of a snap ring in the pan. I never pressed the spring out though as he warned me that it was dangerous. I guess it is all good as I have 313,000 now. An again thanks for replying.

[@richardteresacricheducatio3542]

@@rprice7670 Clearly he would’ve had to of taken that apart and replace the snap ring and possibly the drum you would’ve never got that much farther with it with a broken snap ring nice talking to you

[@rprice7670]

@@richardteresacricheducatio3542 I was the that took everything apart and I did put it in my press but I didn't take out the 800 pound spring that I believe has that little wire like ring holding it together. I know he brought some snap rings an some other stuff to assemble it back. I might be confused about what I'm saying about it. I do remember the wavey snap ring was broke. I wish I knew about you guys about 4 5 yrs ago cause I would have ask him about the things you talk about. The guy I worked for at a trans shop in 80s in GA is like you an wanted him to do it but time was a factor. Dan the guy that put it together lives about 3 an half hours away here in fla. I can say this we did some things but no where what you do an now I want to pull it back out an go back through it after watching all your videos on them lol. I wish we had someone local that is worth a darn but no. We buy all our trans out of Jax fla with good luck so far. I don't plan on getting rid of the truck an have owed the truck for 23 years now. It's to bad you don't do bench jobs but I do understand why. I know what Johnny would go through when I worked for him. Thanks again and I guess I shouldn't worry until something goes wrong lol. I do pull around 10,000 pounds an so far so good.

[@richardteresacricheducatio3542]

@@rprice7670 I’m sure he did some type of modification to the Val body for the lock up system on the torque converter to make it clamp harder and come on a little farmer for towing headed to bed Nice talking to you you have a great memorial weekend

[@garryhatchett775]

I’m surprised the diesel would only have a 4 disc clutch.

Great video as always. glad to see you two back.

Can u video the u joint replacement? 😮

Had to replace the whole driveshaft

No apologies necessary...

Do you guys have a shop open I have a 98 1500 dodge 4x4 needing a full trans rebuild

[@63jeepj20]

Ive got a 99 F350 7.3 with a 4r100 that randomly acts like the torque converter locks up when im coming to a stop. It feels like your trying to stop a manual trans without pushing the clutch in. What is going on here?

[@richardteresacricheducatio3542]

I would check to see if it had a cooler line filter up on the frame on the passenger side If it is dirty that Could be the problem

[@63jeepj20]

@@richardteresacricheducatio3542 i will check this, it supposedly has a new torque converter and ive changed the fluid and filter twice in the 10,000 miles ive driven it.
