Going to hopefuly be upgrading converter and possibly valve body soon, just wanted to get opinions.Dave's goerend or suncoast?

 

goerends. the guys at suncoast thought my 727 was a lock up! also georends are backed for life!

 

Dave Goerend knows what he is talking about, and stands behind all of his products. You can't go wroung with Goerend. If somehow you do, he will fix it.

Goerend all the way. Although I know Suncoast makes a pretty good converter as well...

 

Georend better customer service and warranty.

 

I know it's a little off topic, but Ryan, how do you like the 518 with those 3.07 gears?

 

Goerend all the way. Dave is a great guy to deal with and has a great product. If I was buying another auto it would be a goerend.

 

Goerend, awesome guy to deal with/talk to

Suncoast built a 518 non lockup for "ruquik" (member on here) and it had no reverse,

Goerend knows first gen trannies pretty well.

 

I think I know what to do thanks for all the help guys.

 

when you do a converter, please come back with your results!! theres many many members on here that need to be inspired to do this upgrade!!

 

I will for sure.I can't wait to actualy get the power to the ground instead of loose it through a crappy converter.

 

You'll have fun for sure. When my tranny blows, if I don't convert it to an NV4500, I'll be going Goerends all the way.

I'm hoping Suncoast rebuilt the tranny free of charge. I can understand that mistakes happen, but it's how you handle those mistakes that really make your company stand out.

 

I wish I could tell you but I don't have the truck back together yet . I have no garage and 6" of snow and ice all over the truck. I just have to put the t-case in and put the driveshafts on and it will be ready but I am affraid it is going to have to wait for much warmer weather.

 

I went with Suncoast upgrades.. The goerend website scared me off. No information.

 

I'm one of those members who have been inspired to do a converter upgrade.

 

That sucks, sorry man. I hope it gets warm soon, but by the looks of things it won't.


Firstgenfanatic, have you installed the converter yet? If you did, who did you go with, and how do you like it?
