Rodeo SAS on 44's
I saw this and thought you guys may be interested. I can't imagine how the auto tranny is gonna hold up pushing 44's. Definately the meanest rodeo I have seen, I actually don't see many lifted at all let alone SAS.

Re: Rodeo SAS on 44's
Hey Todd, you never came back and said what happened with yourself & the rig. If I remember correctly, you were involved in an accident??

Re: Rodeo SAS on 44's
That's a bit tooo much lift for my taste, but NICE rig.
The auto's probably doing just fine, it doesn't see the daily grind of a normal every day vehicle. And sometimes I think, as long as normal service is followed and leaks do not go unattended to, too many people under-estimate these tranny's. I don't see any more failures in the 4L30-E then I see in the 4L60, or any other common tranny - as long as routine service is performed and the vehicle is not aggressively abused by constant quick WOT. Towing, lifts, bigger tires, etc definitely don't help in the longetivity; but I haven't experienced any adverse effects - as of yet, with running bigger tires and towing for nearly 9yrs of it's life. Most failures that I'm hearing/seeing of are coming from those that didn't perform service soon enough and/or had a leak that they chose to ignore.

Re: Rodeo SAS on 44's
Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that. It's sad how we bust our butts to keep all of our ducks in a row, i.e. maintenance physically as well as mechanically, just to have an idiot rune it all for us.
Hope your back's healing up good. If you would have been in a car, I'd hate to think what would have been. What kind of ride did you end up with??

My wife gave me her Toyota Tacoma doublecab and we bought her a Lexus ES330. The Tacoma is a really good truck, I hope to have as good of luck with is as I did the Rodeo. But like anything else I think its about how you take care of it. |
