...their rig being at an angle? This is concerning an auto tranny btw.;)

I've already done the Deep Pan Conversion from Mopar but, it's started the "starving" routine again.:confused:
Checked the fluid level just in case and it looks fine. I'm wondering if the fluid might be trying to foam due to heat. If so...think an external cooler might do the trick?

I'd kinda like to get this one de-bugged before the trip to Monteagle in May.
Thanks!

Raider,

I don't know much about automatics nor any starvation problems, but if the autotrannyfluid really gets too hot, then a 10" Cooler (http://www.currieenterprises.com/cgi-local/SoftCart.exe/online-store/scstore/p-CE-9088_TJ.html?L+scstore+jzdy3479ff862886+987657394) or 14" Cooler (http://www.currieenterprises.com/cgi-local/SoftCart.exe/online-store/scstore/p-CE-9089_TJ.html?L+scstore+jzdy3479ff862886+987657394) from Currie Enterprises (http://www.currieenterprises.com) might help!

Yeah, I'm thinking along the same lines, Lauti. I know the temp runs hotter than the motor so it might be trying to foam some after some serious riding. When I get it at an angle, like say, climbing with the front at maybe 45* or higher, it starves out.

I've checked it to see and it will have some small bubbles on the end of the dipstick. I spose it's time to experiment and try a cooler. :) I've already looked underneath and it would appear to be fairly easy. So I think I'll give that a try.
Thanks, Scott
