Question about HP upgrade.

Your transmission is rated in the 1400 range (FR14210B) but if you use your new found power responsibly, it shouldn’t be an issue. The original clutch would be rated the same, if it’s still original, it should protect the transmission... again if you use it responsibly!!!

 

No, shouldn’t be needed, and you didn’t move up that much. Just try not to use all the torque (or the accelerator pedal) till the truck is moving. It’s ok to use in most all situations. The things that might get you in trouble with torque haven’t changed, they’ll just be slightly more pronounced now... like dumping the clutch in a high gear or in “spinout and grab” situations. The things that’ll hurt even a “to spec” drivetrain. Under normal highway use conditions, you won’t see a change other than what your looking for.

 

The increase in torque will also increase the transmission oil temperature. Make sure youre trans temp gauge is accurate and check it often especially on long grades with a lot of weight. Some of the eaton transmissions increase the torque rating with a more effective cooler.

 

You guys are over thinking things.

Your fine with your little up rate. Your trans isn't going to melt down. Just drive it. You wont notice much if any diffrence in temps.
