Or ATS

Dodge Transmission Upgrade Packages - ATS Diesel

Up to you, Or you could call Dave Goerend the MASTER of dodge trannys. Also talk to your tranny guy and get his advice, you will want someone that builds perfomance trannys.

Ya I guess that's what I need to do is print out both options and talk to my tranny guy and see what he thinks.

Goerends doesn't sell non-lock-up transmissions.

I'd look into local guys; transmissions built for "Diesels" cost more because they are "for Diesels".

A big upgrade is a steel planetary.

Ya that's a big reason I was looking at ATS Diesel's kit.

Yeah he does Begle, just not on teh site... he quoted me one when I was doing my tranny.

He didn't quote me when I asked, that was about year and a half ago.

Huh... Odd... Maybe he liked me more... :D

Yeah he said he could build a whole tranny when I got my TC this winter. Didn't sound overly excited about it though. Maybe he was slowing down.

well a couple people have said to just get a rebuild kit and there's no need for the upgraded kits unless putting up big number, so would something like this work just as good?

or is this a better kit?

TransGo Reprogramming Kit A500 / A518 89-up Performance / heavy duty kit: Bulkpart transmission parts

I would build it as bad as possible just to be safe....

better to spend the extra to know you won't kill it, but thats just me

Yeah the "perfomance" clutches and steels are not much more then a stock set. I would do it once and do it right. Its the torque thats gonna kill the tranny.

That's what I was figureing that's manily the reason I was pulling towards the ATS tranny kit as its set-up for heavy towing and street performance.

:U:

I'm sure you will be happy however you do it!

ill probley end up with the ATS one as they are a very known name for good perofrmance parts for diesel's and its made for what I do with my truck.
