Default SC Stage IV

SO.... Is there another cheaper way to get something like the SC stage 3 or 4? And besides tie rod sleeves what other less expensive parts can i replace to keep things from breaking when i put in my PPE...

You can probably get away with a TC and a Transgo Jr. But for piece of mind, and anything over about 450 rwhp, you want a full trans... cause even 450rwhp is very hard on stock Alli's... You will tear it up with that much power.

yup, when get tha PPE you will tear up the trans if you set it at a higher level, but one limp wont kill ya, i know some guys that limped thiers about 20+ times and still drove it like they stole it

Yeah i'll probably end up just buyin somethin that can handle all the power no problem. Cuz i'm gonna want a little more power in a couple years. Maybe step up to the PPE +2 Hot. but idk. we will see

You are completely right. I've got the bug and i haven't even gotten my truck yet. I'm gettin one tomorrow i'm just not sure which one...
BUT! which ever one i get i'm gonna be throwin a hella ton of money into it over the years.
Love these trucks, love this forum! (BTW!! I want to get like a Diesel Bombers sticker for my back window just to let everyone know who helped me out with my truck. Any of you guys know if you have them and how i can get one?)
