FINALLY! Well after about a month of trying to get ahold of Dave over at Goerend, I finally spoke to him this morning. I'm going to be swapping out my 518 for the 47rh (completely built by Goerend). I've had the truck almost 2 years now, the entire time researching and saving to fix up my tranny so when i do start adding power it gets to the wheels. CANT WAIT!

 

If you don't mind me asking, how much is this going to cost you?

 

I think a full rebuilt goerend 47rh is $3500 with NO converter and NO billet, just rebuilt/improved trans with a VB.

Put $1000 on top of $3500 and then a good flexplate and your at alot!

 

well not that i want to think about it, but for the transmission alone $4050, and thats with a billet imput shaft. new starter - $150 SFI steel Flexplate - $145 and spent $600 for a 47rh and adapter plate off a 95.

 

Holy CRAP !!! you must really like that truck!!

 

wow! im so glad i rebuilt my 47rh myself cost wise it was super cheap, i thought about a shop doing it but figured i rebuilt my 727 so why not a 47rh dynoed 1165tq and its still tight shifts hard and dont slip sorry whitebeast not trying to defuse your joy dave builds a tight tranny from everyone i talked to. Good luck with the new trans they are so much better than 727s and a518s thats just my opinion though not bashing you non lock tc guys

your love it!!! enjoy

 

I thought about doing it myself but decided I'd be better off letting the professional deal with it. I'd always be worried about something going wrong if i did it myself, as far as rebuilding it neway. Thought if i'm gonna do something might as well go all out and do it right.

 

do you have an idea of what the turn around time is? just curious...

 

Dave said should be shipped out end of this week. I might have heard him wrong tho, phone cut out a little as he said it.

 

wow, lucky you. haha. i had to wait a month.

 

I know! thats why i'm thinking i heard him wrong but maybe not. I figured it take that long too but i dk maybe hes just going to get right on it cuz i've been waiting for over a month for him to call me back.
