My trruck is going on 110k miles and with the mods I have done the transmission slips and I want to get a nice strong one that will last me as long as my engine will.

With that said I plan on running a larger turbo, injectors and better flowing Vp. I am looking for a 500hp range. So I need something that will work at that power. But is not going to cost me a arm and a leg.

I have a while to look around I am stationed without my truck down in Missisippi right now. So plenty of time to shop.

What would you all recommend? I want a complete package Tq converter as well as trans.

Should I look into a lock switch for a the converter?

 

do the switch it takes like 20 min. to install, cant hurt, Also dave goerend has a great reputation for built trannys. I'd trust him. Are you down in Biloxi? used t live there back in the 80's kinda miss it

 

+1 for Dave Goerend

 

Do it right the first time. Do not cut corners on this and get a full high performance rebuild. That way its done. JMO

 

Yeah I am in biloxi on keesler afb.

I dont plan on cutting corners i just dont want to spend a fortune.

 

i have heard that jasper rebuit transmissions make a special "tuff box or soemthing like that" it is designed specially for us diesel mod heads that put these trannys through hell and back. i heard that the warranty is good as well.l

 

Dave Goerend has taken good care of me!
My high dollar Sun Coast (full billet trans and converter)failed after 8 months. No drag strips and no truck pulls. Oh yea no warranty either.
Good luck,

HTS, Goerend or DTT. I wouldn't touch anything else.

 

The last thing you want to do is know if you had just done it right the first time, you wouldn't have a busted trans.

I would be totally honest with Goerend and let him tell you what to buy.

 

Been running my Suncoast for about 4 years now, full billet, flex plate & TQ no problems!

 

x2 on suncoast. I got everything they can do except for the intermediate shaft and output shaft; they're stock. over 50k on it, 3 pulls, much road racing and slight towing. Been good to me. I'd say suncoast, Dave Goerand, or DTT. Pick your poison they'll all cost a lot.
