I don't run a aftermarket transmission in my current truck. Keeping it stock until warranty is up, I think.

Check this guy out, you will not be sorry. www.gbtransmissions.com Click on link. Have never heard anything bad about him. Have heard all kinds of things about all the other guys out there.

BD's valve body isn't as aggressive as I would like and I will have that modified when $ permits. I can't complain about the TC, so far so good. It is a diff design than most others, I don't know if this is a good thing or bad. I made my purchase based on a diesel shop that installs all diff brands and he recommended the BD combo. I would only listen to guys who have had experience w/ diff brands, not the guys who say theirs is the best. I'm happy w/ mine so far and I'll let everyone know when this changes and why. Good luck!
