need new trans where to go?

the tranny in my 99 ram 2500 diesel went. well only part of it did.the kick down band broke where the adjuster rides.well one friend tell's me go to ATS and have one shipped, tranny shop down the street wants approx $3k for a bench build with some tranny parts from britsh columbia tranny shop.So to start getting ideas now.i tow a single car trailer/ haul wood, run the road (have 198kon the truck). might put a box on it for mileage, new tranny and converter? im laided off to boot!! but while it,s out i think i should do it right. what do you guys think?? i'll check back later, going out to the garage to start taking it out. thanks guys. i live in northeast ohio. you can email me if you like would be easier. par12730@sbcglobal.net

Without knowing where you are at, get a DTT. Best transmissions made.

Time for all the cheerleaders to post.................





Check Dave Goerend at Goerend Bros. Transmission also.

See who builds the tranny for your needs, at the price you want to spend, the installers nearby, and has the reputation for outstanding customer support.

Check out HTS. I'm VERY happy with mine and they were the cheapest when I was looking.

My buddy had his DTT rebuilt 4 times in 30 days. He said the customer service was good, but wouldn't do it again. I have been very happy with Dave Goerend, Its hard to beat Dave's customer service. For the most part Dave goerend, DTT, and HTS have a good rep. My biggest suggestion after you decide who to go with, clean/flush the heck out of the trans coolers before putting the trans back in. Good Luck!

I like my DTT quite alot. I have heard that it can take a little time to get the parts you might need for a fix but luckely havent had to find out first hand.
Im very pleased with how its treated me so far.

Other wise I would suggest goerand just from all the good of heard about him as well.

A good job aint cheap and a cheap job aint good. IMO
