How do you like the Broader valve body? I've been thinking of ordering their reverse manual for my C5.

got back from hot springs tonight. It was a pretty cool trip. I definitely figured out what needs to be changed on the new setup.

I wheeled all of saturday and got to run alot of their hard trails. On the last trail I got to run I overheated the transmission really bad, it started puking fluid out of the bellhousing area. Let it cool down for about 30 minutes, fired it up and it was still puking so I figured I blew the pump seal. Hauled ass back to my trailer, let the truck cool down for nearly an hour while I was bull shitting with a few friends. Topped the trans back off and fired it up to pull onto the trailer, and no leaking. I think I lucked out but didnt want to push my luck, so I didnt wheel sunday before leaving. Looks like I just need to buy a big bad-ass cooler. Other than that, only other issue I had was this new pump doesnt like to run my steering at idle speeds (650-1000) when it gets hot, so I gotta figure that issue out too. It steers, just too slow for my liking.

The group I ran with was from the area so they weren't into taking pics, so the Only pics I got was what my wife took in the truck and on some of the trails she didnt wanna ride along on. Not alot but I'll share some of what I got.

Was it a bad pump or perhaps a line issue, or is the pump not big enough to push the full hydro?

Nice pictures by the way.

I just think that it flows a little bit less when the fluid gets hot. I have already figured out a solution.
