trans rebuild advice
so i need advice ive got a 05 2500 with a stock trans sitting at 188000 at the moment never rebuilt im looking to do a rebuild it cause i can feel its on its last legs i have not had any problems yet with it but 3rd and 4th gears are starting to act up and ive got the money to do a rebuild so here is where i need help. Im stationed in alaska and i do alot of toy hauling and mid to heavy weight trailers all hitch pulls so far but ive pressed my luck a few times with a 14k trailer once i know not a good idea. so i ask you guys out there ive got a 5k budget give me an idea of what for my use i should add to a basic rebuild keep in mind a oem level rebuild is $2850 out the door. Thanks ahead of time for all the help

5k will get you a goerend tranny built. Billet input with a torque converter, clutches, valvebody, and deep pan.

thanks for the reply i get what you are saying but what im asking is for what im going to be using my truck for which is hauling and towing and daily driving here is what my options are
big boy build base rebuild BD TC triple plate billet flex plate BD VB billet 2nd gear band and anchors Deep pan around 6k for up here in alaska or semi big boy build base rebuild enhanced tc low stall 2nd gear billet band and anchors BD/ATS VB billet flex plate deep pan around 5k here in alaska |
Ship it down to Utah to RKL Diesel and Ryan can build you a bang good towing trans that will hold about 600-750 hp. He does really good work and is a bad a** dude! He builds Bully Dog's race truck trans and they have great results with it.

wish i had time to its my daily driver and the shipping would kill me it would cost around 2k just to ship there and back

Hell----------DO IT YOUR SELF, it isn`t rocket science. Just take you time and seek guidance/tech manual etc..
There is PLENTY of info out there. I followed(sp) Cereberism`s advice---all is well. single billet lo stal TC,valve body shift kit, HD clutches and steels, billet anchors, HD servos etc. Been nearly 2 years of pulling my 12k fiver over the Rockies many times. I wish I could remember it all-sorry If the advice comes from Mcdonogh ,Ga-----LISTEN and learn. Sorry, just my .02 YOU are your warranty........................... |
