send the tci back before you have to end up replacing it sooner then later, if your looking for something less expensive for now my bd low stall held up just fine for over 100k but i wasnt asking much from it, didnt even tow with it, my two cents, save for a geroend triple disc and be done with it. look into a valve body as well if you dont have one already

I agree......that thing could take out your trans when it fails and then cost even more.

I think you might save $50 buying directly from Goerend. I would call Dave direct and tell him what you want to do with your truck. For another couple hundred you can get a lifetime warranty.

That's what I have in mine. Those parts looked so nice it's a shame they are covered in Amsoil ATF and buried in the trans case.

Some of the vendors here are Suncoast dealers so check with them on the pricing.

Let me know If we can do anything to help. Suncoast, Georend, HTS, DTT are all great tranny manufacturers. You cant really go wrong with any of them.
