Ok, at 162,000 miles or so, I lose the Auto in my 91.5 CTD. Rebuild lasted less than 5000 miles, or about 6 weeks.

I need to know, who builds the best Trannies fro the 1st gen's.

Rich Klein

PS, I tow many many miles. In 11 months I've driven 45,000 plus miles

 

These guys are the best in my opinion they have bailed me out on a occasion or two..

I plan on going with one of their units when mine takes a dive as well.

How about Dennis Rodman? Oh you meant transmission not transgendered. Ha! I kill myself!

 

Get a trans from DTT and then FORGET ABOUT IT.. I have driven this tranny of mine HARD from day one. Thats been over 3 years now. 35" tires and 3.54 gears can be even harder on a trans, along with a few sled pulls, pulling 9000 lb trailer,, at least 75 to 100 serious power braking burnouts,3 shattered flexplates, and countless 20 lb launches! I drive my truck to have FUN EVERYDAY.. Just incase its my last.. and the trans feels just as good as the day I installed it! I have switched to a 2nd gen downpipe to get it away from the transmission line, the radiant heat off the down pipe will COOK your trans fluid. I would bet thats whats happening to yours because you tow so much.. When I installed mine I put in a remote Filter and the biggest Hayden cooler made..Come on down to Fresno and you can drive my truck..

 

First off, DTT ? Can you give me a website or is the same as the other site listed above.

Second, I will look into the 2nd gen down pipe.

Third, I will stop on my next trip through Fresno. I was just trhough there the last 2 days...

I agree. BIll and his family & friends are great to everyone. Have a problem, call them up and they answer it while you are usually on the phone with them. The people that install their DTT trannys who are located around the states are fine people also. They keep up with the Training that Bill offers and it shows in their service to their customers. I still love mine after 70,000 miles.

 

I will probably call them, but i am lazy, anyone know if dtt has any install locations or trany shop they deal with in the sacramento area....? thanks, jiMMy

 

What is the concenus of ATS products?

More money than the DTT, But they might be willing to work out a better deal in the long run.

i couldn't be happier with the DTT in my 93.


jeremiah

 

how might they do that?

 

So I'm missing something? the price list only shows trannies for post '93 (94+)

What tranny do we have in our Gen 1's;
what is the preferred converter? (list choice of --89 or -91)
I'm looking for solid HD industrial towing (20k+ = gw of trailer and cargo) '93 - 1t 4x4 dually

I also live pretty close to these guys (DTT) and have a friend who is very happy with his DTT but; $3500 + TC is about what I paid for the truck. Are there any more econo (must be robust) solutions? Do I want to only try a TC, or is the stock tranny gonna die? (150k of hard work so far)

 

What your after is their T/C for 700 bucks and a shift kit and a rebuild of your current trany. should be around 1200 bucks total after your done is what im thinking.
