if you do not think that it is different then why did you bring up the torque converter at all sounds like backspin to me. for that matter where was the gear reduction ever mentioned except by you the whole point of this argument has to do with gear reduction gary please follow along. no my original had to do with the transmission producing torque please go back and re-read my first response i know what your original response was and that is why i called you an ass since you are arguing nothing more than semantics and is now becomming circular as well my entire reply was based on the erroneous statement specifically the last 11 words of the following from snoman we are actually in partial agreement here but this is also the reason why much earlier in the thread i stated to regear the truck because though the towed mileage may be short to ramp the stress of the ramp can be high and a tranny can realy heat up fast in a heavy stall and deeper gears do two things the tranny has to product less torque to move the load he said that the tranny produces torque actually he said products but well let that pass since ive already told him he needs to be precise in his wording i said no the transmission does not produce torque but the converter changes high-rpm/low torque output of the engine to lower-rpm/higher-torque output wtf does this even mean gary. like i said multiple times the transmission does this as well in its lower gears so what exactly is your point here that a transmission or torque converter cannot on its own produce torque ok here is a quick question for you. if more torque is comming out of a unit than is going in is it not producing torque and if not what exactly is it doing now before you try to use the term converting remember that an engine does nothing more than convert liquid fuel into heat and mechanical energy so that argument will not hold up. power torque at a given spped is produced in the engine true. the converter changes the speed/torque ratio yes it does just like the transmission but what does this have to do with anything the converter cannot produce torque only change the relationship between input speed/torque and output speed/torque but by doing that you are producing more torque at the cost of rpm so by your own definition a trasnsmission can produce torque or at least produce more torque. remember gary produce and create are two different words. no free lunch in other words there is never a free lunch. at least on this we can agree. nowhere did he or i mention gear ratio he said once more since you have problems comprehending things that the tranny has to produce less torque sorry gary but you really are not very good at spin. dont try to change the subject to some garbage about gear ratios. you did say that the tc converts from a high rpm to a lower rpm and increases torque. a transmission does the same thing just by a different method. maybe he meant to say has to provide less torque which is correct. what part of gear ratio in relation to first second third and fourth gear plus reverse is so hard for you to understand now you have spun so fast that you have lost me. what exactly are you asking me the tranny god will you folks grow up and call it a transmission fer chrissakes ! cannot produce torque.......it can convert it in the converter or it can change ratios between input and output shafts and thus convert hi-r/lo-t input to low-r/hi-t output but it cannot produce torque only a power source such as the engine can do that where exactly are you trying to spin this you keep talking about the tc but who cares what exactly does the tc have to do with the topic at hand do you actually know where the tc gets its name from perhaps you should go and look it up. perhaps you should look up produce as in create or generate create is only one definition of produce. another definition happens to be to bring forth http//www.hyperdictionary.com/dictionary/produce which is exactly what the tc and transmission do as far as torque goes. or maybe youll hand me more ammo stick the gun on your foot and invite me to pull the trigger for you the only ammo you are getting is being generated in your own mind. first you say that a transmission cannot produce torque and then proceed to prove that it can lol. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving . 222 301853 j6jte.717$q75.94340@hog.read.com tbone wrote what shape are the injectors in dont know that is what i told them to check when i dropped it off this time. btw mileage is 67k greg .

you know dave there are other ways to test your airbags without going through all that drama. i hope you didnt hurt yourself in this experiment. what made your ram decide to take on the pole fmb .
