06 ky diesel

with the smarty being my only mod to date, an arc intake, afe system and exhaust to come what is my best option.

my truck is almost strictly a daily driver, no towing.

my mechanic says i would need a torque converter, valve body, 2nd gear band, and tranny pan, possibly a billet input shaft.

with the possibility of a 230hp tune coming from smarty and the other mods i mentioned, will all this be enough for my 48re?

i would like to pull the sled just once at the local fair but i dont foresee that becoming a reality.

Are you slippping your trans? I have a hts valve body, and smarty on level 3 and don't have any slippage.

no slippage but i've only had the smarty for about three weeks. i just want to be prepared in case something should happen

That would be a good start....

Start saving for parts. I lasted only till 75,000 before my rebuild 20,000 of those miles with the J/A.

Hey Shane, sorry to hear about that golden tranny

I'd add a flexplate to the list, and ensure you keep the billet input on as well

Thanks for the condolences!!!!

You need to update your sig. It says "stock tranny." It needs to read "broken tranny."
