Finally....
« on: July 29, 2012 - 08:33:19 PM »
Well, after 8 months, I cranked up the 543 and the monster roared to life again!! YAY!  :woo:I had a few teeth damaged on my torque converter ring gear. It was causing starters to break (4 total)  :money:. I dropped the tranny,  :working: removed the torque converter and sent it back to TCI for a new ring gear and freshen up. With all this heat I would only work on it for a few hours in the morning, but today at dusk, I fired that bad boy up and sent Mopar thunder thru the neighborhood (header cutouts were open)!  :bigshades: It sure feels good to hear it run again. I'll wash/wax it and hit the road next weekend for some sweet cruising!

I would post a video but I don't have a camcorder or smart phone. I'm old school. I've got 2 cans & a string! I need to get my daughter to take a short video and post up here!! After sitting for 8 months, It fired up the first crank!!  :woo:

Way to go Matt!    :bananasmi

I'm glad you won't be leading the league in eating starters anymore.    :roflsmiley:
