Agreed, a lot of oem are mounted in a similar orientation.

Did you mess with the transmission calibration at all?? Or is it not computer controlled?

All shift points were moved a touch higher, line pressure is bumped slightly higher than stock. I rebuilt this trans 3ish years ago. Went back to my instructions for the cooler and they clearly stated do not mount it like I did, although my fluid really wasnt burnt when i drained it. Was full throttle second gear when it let go so I'm thinking it was something mechanical like the sprag. Probably time for a 4l80e but with another freshly built 4l60e already in the barn and the limited amount of free time I have the 60 will do for now.

That's what I tried to do with 4L60E's too... went through 6 of them. Will never touch another in my own vehicles! 80E all the way

I'm working on installing a new cooler in my marauder, it's designed to have the inlet/outlet facing the ground. Fwiw.

The Jeep has to take over DD duty soon while my truck is at the body shop, so I decided it was time to finally paint some of the bare steel.

Been putting some street miles on it and getting used to the full hydro steering. After I got an air bubble worked out it has been tracking nice and straight, still takes a little getting used to though compared to the mechanical set up.

It takes corners extremely well with basically no body roll, and I haven't even installed my anti rock back on yet. Pretty excited about that.
