I have not heard or saw that name in a while. I used to read a lot of what he posted on transmissions on another forum few years back. Seemed to know what he is doing for sure. Is he still around the Dallas/Ft Worth area?

He works at North Dallas Transmissions.......his own mods......triple dick TC of his own specs and some mods I'm not knowledgeable enough to understand.......I just know it gives great fuel mileage,puts the power to the ground and although I haven't pulled heavy with it yet..............I'm told it excels at towing heavy.

Annabelle - what are you talking about in US DOLLARS??? and how long is the truck tied up while this mod is taken care of? I would also be interested in your highway mileage, no tow and tow.
Thank YOu Pa Hogan

Yea that sounds about right. I have not been on the other forum in a long time. He did have a website at one time and always was very informative on transmission questions. I do remember that some of the unique things that he was doing way back are things I think Michael also addressed on my transmission build.
