my buddie has a 04.5 and his is slipping. what do u recomend to handle 600hp? and where near east tn, would a shop be to do the install???

 

Goerend Bros.

 

Goerend Brothers. If you go here http://goerend.com/installers.php there is a list of installers in TN

 

thanks i will research this...

 

Try HTS transmissions they specilaize in the 48re and has some of the fastest and most powerful trucks out there running them. And they are great people to work with. http://www.htstransmissions.com

 

Do what they say, I homebuilt one with the best parts I could buy, had billet converter, valve body, everything machined internally for torrington bearings, billet shafts, after the third time I think we have it licked. I will tell you some of the companies that sell valve bodies and converters will blame everything but their product for malfunctions it is not worth the headache. I would go goerend bros if I did all over again

 

Georand...no doubt, i will be visiting them shortly if I end up getting an auto third gen

 

these seem to be less expensive than goread. why?

 

from my experience with built trans. most seem to bang into gears and shift very hard.

I just got my Goerend put in Friday and it shifts much smoother then my stocker did. The shifts are a little firmer but by no means are they hard. I couldn't be happier with my Goerend and their customer service is second to none. Throw in a 3yr 150,000 mile warranty on the trans and a lifetime warranty on TC and VB, not to mention he will custom make you a TC based upon your trucks needs and setup and you've got the best trans in the business.

 

HTS are great people to deal with and they stand behind their product.

 

I have a buddy that has his full billet hts for sale now. He has an 04.5 as well. PM me if your interested and ill give you his information.
