Your call on the Banks but.....most here would not.

You might want to ask around on the "TC first" idea. I've seen some amazing results with just an upgraded Valve Body....good up to 375 hp!
There is a reason why most reputable CTD tranny rebuilders will not even sell you JUST a Torque Converter. If interested...

Good Luck with your new truck! I love the 02's also.

I agree, if you are going to change out the TC then you need to do a VB and other things to the tranny. Dave Goerend can help you understand what it takes to get the power to the ground. Give him a call. Its a cheap lesson on performace tranny upgrades, his advice is free!

Welcome to the board greasemonki! You made a great choice in the 2002 CTD, and a better choice by joining DTR!

Thanks for the articles and the advice! I'll definitely give Dave a call, DTR is by far may fav board...Look for me to be posting quite a bit, once work slows down a little, and I can focus on my truck!
