[QUOTE="dcarp, post: 1657254, member: 9179"] Bottom line will be what you use the truck for. Daily driver most any good shop can build a tranny that will last about 100000 mi. If you tow a lot a upgraded tranny is the way to go. Look into the parts put into the tranny. Most shops just re-use most parts and throw in a few cheaply made “new” parts. A really well built tranny has parts like this: [LIST] [*]24 Month/Unlimited mile warranty [*]· DPC Reman billet triple disc torque converter [*]· HD SFI 29.1 rated flexplate [*]· Deep finned aluminum pan (with drain plug and temp sensor port, holds extra 4 quarts of fluid) [*]· 6 disc direct clutch (featuring Raybestos GPZ frictions) [*]· 4 disc forward clutch (featuring Raybestos GPZ frictions) [*]· 6 disc OD direct clutch (featuring Raybestos GPZ frictions) [*]· 10 disc OD direct clutch (featuring Raybestos frictions) [*]· Raybestos [I]Pro Series[/I] intermediate band [*]· Sonnax billet intermediate servo cover (w/pin o-ring) [*]· Sonnax billet dual seal accumulator piston [*]· Sonnax billet low/reverse servo piston (w/high temp lip seal) [*]· Superior reinforced band strut [*]· Heavy duty Borg Warner low roller clutch [*]· Heavy duty Borg Warner OD roller clutch [*]· Low roller clutch direct lube modification [*]· OD brake clutch cooling/lube modification [*]· Heavy duty forward clutch diaphragm spring (Belleville) [*]· Complete OD thrust bearing set (w/updated sun gear thrust plate) [*]· OD output ball bearing [*]· Complete thrust washer set [*]· Dimpled bronze pump bushing [*]· Heavy duty direct drum bushing [*]· Borg Warner HD governor pressure solenoid [*]· OEM governor pressure transducer [*]· OEM OD/TCC solenoid set (w/internal harness and case connector) [*]· Dynamic custom calibrated HD/Towing valve body features: [*]o Full cooler flow/converter charge in park [*]o Increased line pressure (custom HD/Towing line pressure curve) [*]o Custom calibrated, laser cut, heavy-gauge (.050â€) separator plates (substantially reduces cross feed issues) [*]o Modified TV pressure and pressure curve [*]o Governor pressure circuit relief valve (prevents transducer blowout due to high line pressure) [*]o Pressure regulator buffer circuit (reduces rapid regulator valve oscillation and pressure fluctuation) [*]o Full time lube modification [*]o Custom shift calibrations (specify Towing, Street or High-Performance calibrations) [*] Look on Turbo Diesel Register and see which shops & Transmissions are recommended the most. [*]Lastly, go cheap and you will be replacing the tranny again & a lot sooner than you want to. Do it right and you will be very happy driving your truck 2 or 3 times the mileage of the cheap tranny.
