They tear the part number off so you can't tell without some legwork that you got ripped off. Its hard for them to do anything with the numbers stamped on the bearing. If there is no number on the pa
Most 700's can be hooked up with 12 volts right to the pin from a switched power supply. Those kits are not needed for all but a few 700's. You can make it lock up in 2nd, 3rd and 4th or 3rd and 4th

There are lots of different stock torque converters with varying stall speeds. have you used a big block converter or a diesel? I'd be interested in everything you did to your 700. Did you build it?
The 700 got a bad rap for unreliable sevice as I can attest to that. My 82 Diesel 4X4 700 went out in 12k miles and one less than that, but that was before all the fixes. Now, they are capable of wit
