Got skinny little heads on the flexplate bolts? Like bolt head is 1/2 as high as usual?

Ya they are the correct bolts, and I confirmed that with the new bolts BD sent me with the new converter. Maybe it is from a previous failure before me? Dunno, hard to tell the age of the rub marks on aluminum. The adapter is machined to clear them, just tagged it in a couple spots? She is together and running just getting the fluid level correct now.

Well, TQ converter hold noticeably better. Runs cooler, I am going to haul a buddy's tractor tomorrow so should be a good test.

Ya for now, 7 months the last time, lol. Hopefully it will hold up in the long term. When I add compound turbos and larger injectors maybe not haha. For the record tractor weighed 7k+2500lb trailer.

So I had been eyeing a 15k winch that has been laying around the warehouse for years. 4wp routinely cleans house on old stock and pretty much gives it away. It's a Runva, the line of winches has been discontinued, so if something happens I am outta luck. I am gunna roll the dice, I was planning on the 16.5k from Warn eventually anyway. I haven't done any testing yet, it is 413-1 gearing and a 7hp motor, so very sloooooooow. And some pics
Now to rescue something really heavy, like the Dodge lol

Maybe you need to put a 5R110 in it. Destroked in reverse. It would be the same adapter.

5th in the NV4500 sucks, repair them all the time here at the shop, they spin the nut off or break the gear. The tranny will be repaired under warranty. Considering what me options are, for long term.
