stock intermed. and out put here. beat on mine all the time with boosted launches also. eventually snapped my output just like Browns said i would with how i play. I put another stock out put in cause he told me too. I was told to leave stock out unless you do billet intermed. also. you want the output to break before intermed shaft..

If it means that much to you to have a billet intermediate shaft, tell Dave to put it in. He'll do so without complaint. This is YOUR tranny and YOU are the customer.

True

I have a FB suncoast on the bench that came out of my truck. I was told when I paid over 8 grand for it - that it was a bullet proof trans and it would be covered under a 2 yr warranty if something did happen to it. Well all I can say is I wouldn't buy or recommend anyone to buy a quart of trans fluid form the lying thieves at suncoast - let alone a transmission! Oh and by the way my truck was highly modified when I had the suncoast trans... I had a standerd Smarty. Not a TNT not a Revo.
Good luck,
Topper

Goerend here too,billet flex,input, output, and STOCK intermediate. Listen to what he says he knows what he is talkin about. I have beat on mine alot, and broke the input so far. And Dave was right there gettin me back on the road in no time.

Think you're missing something here. Not one poster said stock intermediate shaft is a weak link!
But, it's your money....your choice.

I have to give Dave Kudos for always calling me back to discuss his tranny. I don't actually own one of his yet but will shortly. I am trying to make a E brake work for my 04. Dave has gone so far as to call the brake mfg's and talk with them about how their controllers work specifically. Hell i didn't even spend a dime and he has treated me awesome ! Georend all the way ! I have never even heard one complaint anywhere about his business. That says a lot especially since he doesn't even market his trannys like some of the other big names. Just word of mouth ! JMO

I have a FB Goerend as well. Listen to what Dave has to say about your build, he will steer you in the right direction and will back up everything he sells. I firmly believe he builds the best transmission for our trucks.

I have run a hundred passes down the track on B/I B/O stock intermediate. Boosted launches of 20-25lbs....I am only 536 hp....but I beat on my rig. The weak link was the flex plate...now I have a billet and I do not lose 1 minutes sleep over the stock intermediate shaft....

I am running that set up on my 06. Billet in and out and stock intermediate. Flawless.

From the conversations with Dave... the intermediate shaft being stock provides a bit more flex (if it doesn't bend it breaks) in an otherwise inflexible billet system / environment.

At least that is what I understood from the conversation 2 years ago.

Dave sold us all 3 billet shafts, cuz we wanted to do so. he and we found out later that the stock 3rd gen intermediate is as strong (some say stonger than a billet. saves you $700+ right there!
