 all right so we're in first gear and if I let off the brake you're going to see we're going to roll a little bit right there so I'm going to mash the trans brake button right now as you see the lights engaged I'm going to take my foot off of the brake and the truck is going to stay put I can floor the gas pedal right now if I want to this truck will not move at all I'll show you rpm and we didn't even flinch so I'm going to hold it down to about 2000 much how it works very very simple so what I'm going to do now is I'm actually going to back up a little bit I'm going to let my camera guy get back and I'm going to drop this thing at about four grand and let you guys see it launch on the trans brake again we're not going to hook up it's not going to do nothing to stir but that's what we're working on so I'm going to back up let you guys see a trans brake once from outside the truck he's having an awesome time out there I know it has been a minute since I've uploaded the video we're going on about two weeks and I have been extremely busy with work work and more work it has been absolutely crazy but today's video I'm going to do basically kind of like an update on frostbite and a walk around a lot of people have been asking me to do another walk around since everything's changed so that's what I'm going to do I'm going to start the truck up and we're going to do a full walk around of the outside of the truck while it's running under the hood inside the truck and let you guys hear it check it out and then I'm going to go into detail a lot of people have been wanting to know how the shifter works from cope racing in the transmission and so we're going to kind of go over how the shifter works and I might even do a little small trans brake test right here just kind of show you guys how the button what buttons does what and how it works and the whole nine so hell yeah let's get to this badass walk around ppp shifter that I got from cope racing and the buttons how it works what I got to do and just kind of like go over the whole thing so how we have my truck set up right now is my truck will start only in neutral that's why you see it's already in neutral right now so my truck will start neutral that's how we wired it up it starts in neutral only it does not start in park right now we have it set up to start in neutral so I have to be in neutral to start my truck and then I can put it in park and let it sit do whatever but that is how I have to start my truck so if we have this shifter in neutral the truck will start and I can go to any gear forward or backwards whatever I want to do from there now how this thing works so we're going to go to park and there you go you see park so if I want to go to neutral I got to push down the button here push the handle in front where you see my fingers that would be neutral if I want to go to first same thing that's first now if we're actually driving the truck or racing the truck or whatever to go to the rest to go through the rest of the gears and keep in mind the 46 re is a four speed transmission and I did the overdrive dilly so we have an actual overdrive and that is what this button right here does we will go over that in a second but right now we're in first gear so we're going to pretend we're driving or racing whatever and it's time to shift then all we got to do is pull back and we are in second gear as you can see the indicator makes a very cool bad ass sound if you ask me I love the sound the shifter makes so if it's time to go to third gear same thing we're just going to pull back and now we're in third gear and if we want to go to fourth gear same thing we are in fourth gear now when we're in fourth gear and say we're going to be cruising on the highway for a little while or we're going you know down a road and we're going to get over 45 50 miles an hour and we want to lock up the converter we will hit this button right here and then that activates my converter and the converter will lock the rpms will drop down and we will be cruising you know about 65 70 miles an hour in this truck right now with the converter locked in fourth gear I'm just at about 2000 rpm maybe a hair over that it cruises very well I'm actually very impressed with the cruising ability with you know going from a five speed transmission down to a four speed transmission it didn't really lose a lot on the highway it still cruises just as good as it did if not better honestly so the other thing there's two lights right here and one light indicates the lock up for the torque converter lock up and then the other light indicates the trans brake this is the trans brake right here this red button here so I'm going to go to neutral real quick and I'm just going to put the key in we're going to have to hear the door the door ding in here for a second but as you see I have a green light LED right here and that's because we activated the converter a second ago so the converter is unlocked I'm going to lock it again and we have a green light so if that green light's on you know the converter is locked if it's off obviously it's off now with this being a full manual valve body if the converter is locked and you come you know you start to slow down you get to a stop sign or red light um and the truck's slowing down you come to a stop and if your converter is locked if I have a converter locked this thing will completely die it acts just like if you had a standard transmission or manual transmission and um say you have it in gear and you forget to press in the clutch when you come to a stop the same thing applies to an automatic transmission when you have a manual valve body and a separate torque converter lock up switch like this uh before you stop you have to remember to unlock the converter if you had it locked um so it's nice to have a little uh light right there especially if it's dark you can see that light very well and then the trans brake if we were going to use the trans brake and if I press the trans brake you'll see it lights up red on the led right here if I let go it goes off if I press it it lets you know the trans brake is engaged um and the trans brake is basically used for first gear only um to go forward and launch now the other thing a lot of people want to know okay you see my neutral and my reverse is the same place on the shifter okay neutral and reverse is the same except for if I want to go into reverse on my truck with this transmission with a manual valve body reverse manual valve body with a trans brake reverse is right here as you see where the neutral and reverse section is but when I press the trans brake in the neutral position right here it actually engages reverse gear um that is how it works so I have to press the trans brake button and hold it to retain reverse gear and as soon as I let go of the trans brake button the transmission goes right back into neutral and that is how reverse works I will kind of show you I'm going to start the truck it's going to be very loud so I don't know if you guys will be able to hear me but I'm going to show you what that looks like um I'm going to start the truck we're neutral right now I'm going to let off if I let off the brake we're going to roll oh maybe not we're not rolling at all so that works out great so we're in neutral and if I press the trans brake button you're going to see the truck is going to kind of bump and start to go backwards so here we go that is reverse right there if I give us some gas you see we went backwards so that is how it works pretty neat I'm going to do it again we're neutral if I press the button that's reverse so hopefully that kind of whoops hopefully that kind of helps you guys out a little bit of how the reverse uh works on the reverse manual valve body with a trans brake that is how it works again reverse and neutral is the same spot on the shifter pattern but when you're in the neutral position and you press the trans brake button that is your reverse gear and as long as you're holding it down you're in reverse when you let go it goes right into neutral pretty neat it's a little weird to get used to but I actually love it and I have found it's very simple because you can be backing up and when you're ready to go you just let go of the button and you're neutral and you throw in the first gear and you're ready to go so I'm going to show you how the trans brake works real quick I'm not going to really launch it right here because this road is going to suck and we're not going to go anywhere we're just going to spin but I'm going to show you how it works what you have to do and we'll do a small little launch and let you guys check it out so we're going to be putting the truck in first gear we're going to be pressing the button right here and holding it and you will see the truck will will stay completely put this thing will not move at all and as soon as I let go of the button all hill breaks loose and we go forward in a very quick manner so I'm going to shut the door I'm going to let my camera guy get real close to the truck right here kind of get over here at an angle if you can there you go and I'm going to start the truck up again where my keys go back up just a little bit right there that way there you go I'm going to put the truck in first gear and so we're in first gear and if I let off the brake you're going to see we're going to roll a little bit right there so I'm going to mash the trans brake button right now as you see the lights engaged I'm going to take my foot off of the brake and the truck is going to stay put I can floor the gas pedal right now if I want to this truck will not move at all I'll show you RPM and we didn't even flinch so I'm going to hold it down to about 2000 pretty much how it works very very simple so what I'm going to do now is I'm going to actually go back up a little bit I'm going to let my camera guy get back and I'm going to drop this thing at about four grand and let you guys see it launch on the trans brake again we're not going to hook up it's not that's for sure but that's what we're working on so I'm going to go back up let you guys see a trans brake block from outside the truck like I said we spun a lot like I figured you know no burnout I'm going to turn the truck off for a second so you can hear me better um it's running right off the long tubes guys we haven't put the exhaust back on since we did the transmission swap and uh that's another story and another day with exhaust I got an idea for my exhaust I want to do and it's going to be badass um but back on topic I want to show you the newest thing that we added which I'm going to be doing a video in an uh an actual kind of a better go over on this on this uh new gizmo that I got from Holly um let me see the camera real quick guy so I have a little shift light right here okay this is a holly sniper shift light it's very small it's awesome um this thing is very programmable and very very easy to use and again I'm going to do a separate video for this thing and go over a little better so if you're interested in it and you want to know more about it just stay tuned and I'm going to be doing a video on this shift light by itself but right now I want to show you something so we have it set to 6000 uh shift points right now so at 6000 rpm the amber light will light up and let me know when it's time to shift it also has a launch control um on it as well and right now if I remember I think we have it set for like 3000 um I'm going to let you see that real quick I'm going to start the truck up and put it in first gear again I'm going to active I'm going to engage the trans brake and act like I'm at the tree at the drag strip and we're going to I'll show you the the rpm gauge and everything we're going to hold the rpm's up with the trans brake and let you see the shift light where my launch control is so this will light up at about 3000 um which is where I think I have it set and you can set it for any rpm and when it lights up it lets you know okay that's your rpm that you want to launch at and you just try to hold the you know hold your rpm right there obviously when I get a two step which is coming next thing to do um this will be even easier to use but let me crank this thing up real quick so we are going to put it in first all right we're going to hit the trans brake button up here on top you see the red light just came on so the truck won't go anywhere and let me back up a little bit so you can see the rpm gauge all right so I'm going to give it some gas and you'll see the sniper shift light should come on when I hit about 3000 it's 3000 right there and I want to show you something real quick guys this is a five grand converter this stall converter in this truck is five grand and I'm going to demonstrate that real quick if you watch my rpm gauge I'm going to hold the trans brake button down and I want you to check this out so here you go five grand yeah get you some of that so there you go that's kind of how it works in a nutshell um we will do some better driving videos with this it's really hard to do a video in the truck right now with the exhaust it's just so loud inside the cabin guys that it cuts the audio to the videos very much and it's just hard to talk and do a video inside the truck so when I get my exhaust ran the way I want it um we're going to do a lot more videos on driving the truck down the street going through the gears and everything and just how all how all of it works it's very simple it's it's so simple and awesome it's hard to describe but it's it's badass um my son wants me to do another five grand trans brake uh hold and let you hear the truck when it's sitting on the converter at like five grand on the trans brake it sounds hellatious especially in this little spot we're in so I'm gonna have him back up and we're gonna hold it down again okay so that is pretty much what's going on with frostbite she's running she's working there's nothing wrong with it um I just been super busy guys like I said work work work and more work has been nuts tomorrow we are going to caffeine at the drags and it's going to be pretty badass I've never been there it's the first time they've done this it's basically a huge car show with some drag racing now it's going to be an eighth mile drag race which is weird I've never raced on an eighth mile track but this is on a lana motor speedways where they're going to be doing the racing and it's in pit row and it's a legit eighth mile you know times and everything and there's going to be some super crazy cars there there should be a little bit of everything probably some lambos some you know super cars who knows I would love to get next to a lambo and hopefully let frostbite wax a lambo in an eighth mile that would be absolutely insane so I'm hoping that can make that happen I don't know we'll see but that's the plan tomorrow we're heading down to lana motor speedway for an awesome car show some drag racing and all kinds of other stuff so we'll be running the truck I'm gonna be getting some more data we're gonna bump the rpms up a little bit for the shift points um I haven't even talked about this yet but the meth injection you know we've been running the meth injection again lately and we've actually changed it up we're running a hundred percent meth right now me and Justin Baker which is doctor differential and speed shop he's the one currently tuned in the truck and that's his camshaft this is the enforcer camshaft that's in the truck right now a lot of you guys know that so if you don't that's his camshaft that's what it sounds like I love it it sounds awesome the cam definitely hits hard and I am in love with the camshaft and how the truck sounds now but we're gonna try to get some data tomorrow um we're tuning it on a hundred percent meth we're trying to start get a little more aggressive with the tuning with it and shifting higher rpm you know we are trying to turn the truck up that's for sure you know like I said the last time I went to the track we actually beat my jaygreen uh my fastest pass I had on the jaygreen tune and jaygreen camshaft before I changed the transmission we beat my time on the jaygreen cam and tune by a little bit but I beat the time in summer heat I had I think it was like a 1800 almost 2000 da worth and it was full weight um my fastest jaygreen time and with the camshaft and everything was last winter it was right before the track closed up and I had the truck gutted we had no passenger seat we had pretty much all the interior removed except for the driver seat and we ran like 11-6 and change I was able to beat that time now with the trans with the coat racing transmission and dr differential's camshaft and tuning I was able to beat that time in the summer heat so I'm super stoked guys when when winter gets here and the da gets down to a zero or even negative this truck is going to be hella fast especially with us starting to turn things up and uh kind of work through you know just getting the bugs out everything getting it working right you know with the trans brake we're going to start working on the rear suspension you know we have adjustable shocks up front right now from qa1 and we got the rears but I'm thinking about going pretty crazy with the rear and I'm thinking about doing a coilover a weld in coilover kit for the back so I'm thinking about ditching the stock springs and doing a weld in coilover kit so we can have full adjustability with the rear end of the truck I think that'll help us a lot with the trans brake you know the trans brake launches very violently especially when you're trying to launch it you know above 3000 rpm which is what I really want to do um but we're gonna have to we're gonna have to give the old rear end a little bit of love to take that hit on the tire especially with you know right now we have the the mickey Thompson et street r radials and probably a probably a slick you know a full slick would probably be a better idea with the with the trans brake it would probably mush the tire flex the tire a little bit better kind of soften up that hit maybe um so a little bit of everything going through my mind guys you know we may have to change tires we're definitely have to play with the rear end the suspension some but the truck is there guys the truck is there the equipment's there um you know motor we're still stock block five seven with a camshaft stock pistons stock rods stock crank stock everything except for camshaft stock heads stock throttle body stock five seven intake manifold like we have a lot of stuff we could put on the motor still if we wanted to get some more power um so there's a lot to do and uh hey we're gonna get there we're gonna get it done um but obviously next thing on my list too is going to be building up the the motor you know I thought about just doing dropping pistons and rods I kind of like the idea of staying with a five seven one parts are cheaper um anytime you stroke a motor every part's going to be more expensive you know pistons rods is going to be more expensive um and I kind of like the idea of staying five seven you know if you stay with a smaller displacement you know you're if you're running boost turbo supercharger whatever um smaller displacement you're going to retain and make boost quicker and it's going to hold the boost a little better a little better obviously with a bigger motor more stroke more you know more volume in them cylinders and everything you're you know your supercharger turbo has to build more pressure has to build up more boost to fill all that volume um so it's kind of a catch 22 but I like the idea of staying with a five seven um that's probably where I'm leaning to I don't I don't again nothing's set in stone I don't know exactly what we're going to do yet but I kind of like the idea of staying with the five seven and letting it eat put some good parts in it and just send it down the damn track that's my idea so we'll see what's up but hope you enjoyed the video hope uh that kind of gives everybody a little small rundown of how everything works with the transmission and the setup that I got going on right now from cope racing and doctor differential and speed shop and torch storm superchargers so that pretty much lets you see what's going on with everything and uh as always guys stay safe out there don't forget to uh hit that subscribe button and we'll see you guys on the next one peace
