One of the best ways to increase the line pressure of a 68RFE transmission is by increasing the spring pressure on the Pressure Control Solenoid (PCS). This can be done with an aftermarket valve body, or by replacing the stock PCS with one that has greater spring tension. Additionally, installing a larger bore Transmission Control […]

Yes, slotted rotors can be turned. In some cases, it is recommended that they are machined down to their original thickness instead of turning them due to the variation in thickness caused by wear and tear during use. Turning involves removal of material from the rotor surface in order to provide a smoother braking surface

Hot spots on rotors are caused by uneven heating and cooling cycles. This occurs when the rotor is spinning at high speeds and heat is generated from friction between the pads, caliper, and rotor. As the system heats up, some areas of the brake pad will be hotter than others due to different braking forces
