these showed up at my friends shop today......




and a big ole' black tote with a Built almost to the hilt Goerend tranny.... thanks to Dave for the super advice on choosing what I needed and thanks to Garrett @ www.PureDieselPower.com for the sweet deal on the tranny, converter, billett flexplate, 191's and the 4kGSK conversion kit and all the other misc. stuff i've bugged him about..... will be limping the truck to another friends shop 60 miles away tomorrow (friday) morning to get the install done..... I'll post up my thoughts on the tranny then..... i'm so excited..... i feel like it's christmas morning (prolly cause i just spen all my christmas money....)

EDIT: Garrett where is my windshield banner?

and can this be moved to performance and accessories..... wasn't thinking.....

 

Hey! I got one of those in the mail about a month ago! So what all parts did u get? I went ahead and opted to go all out and get it built as much as possible. Bet you cant wait to get 'er in, theres a night and day difference! Let us know how you like it

 

it's a 47re i got everything except the billett clutch drum, opted for the 48re with the extra clutch disk, didn't get the billet output shaft, got the intermediate and input shaft billet, "noisey" pump, tripple disc w/ 15 blade stator, magtech trans pan (accually it's the one that was on Garrett, Bobcat698's truck) and the sfi plate..... ya i was tired but now i can't sleep..... it's like i'm feening for my diesel smoke..... it'll be alright i'll prolly OD on it tomorrow....

 

first off for any of you that are consitering ANY OTHER BRAND i'd definately look into Dave Goerend's Transmissions..... HE IS THE MAN !!!!!! the trans shifts like i would have never imagined. it shifts REAL firm the converter is PERFECT...... it feels like i'm putting twice the HP and TQ to the ground over the stock tranny..... i am so happy that i don't have to wander when my truck will quit going..... this is the BEST money i have EVER invested in this truck..... i do know that i will recoment this to anyone who wants a quality piece of machinery and an awesome person on the other end for a Q&A guy..... did i mention i LOVE this tranny.....

 

Thats some nice equipment dude!

 

thanx man.... i forgot that i did have some minor technical difficulties.... i replaced the rear main seal while i was in there... there wasn't anything wrong with it but i figured my luck it would start leaking in a few months..... well dodge/cummins whoever designed an expensive, retarded, seal and install method..... after putting the first one in with the supplied tool thing it went in too far on one side and was crooked.... and it couldn't be removed without being damaged..... so 2 $65 rear main seals later we had it in straight.... then my speedo didn't work..... had to reuse the orig sending unit gear driven thing and i had it clocked incorrectly... my bad...... and it took way more fluid than i expected..... 16 quarts.... but i did flush the cooler and all lines..... and the tranny and converter were dry.....

 

Thanks for postin the pixs of he cool parts. Very nice.

Cowhand let me drive his goerend bros trans truck a couple years ago , and I still remember how that thing ran and shifted.

 

Sweet! I love my GB triple disc, and I cant wait to get a built one in mine when I finally tear this one out(hopefully it will be a while though). Hopefully when the time comes I can afford a billet input, and flexplate at least. And you are right. Dave is THE man for trannies. He left me his house phone number to call him back on when I was putting Teddy Bears tranny in for him, and I had a small question. he really is a great guy, and builds top notch stuff. I know my converter made my tranny drive night and day over the stock one.
