Hey i was just woundering what kinds of up grades i could do to a stock transmisson on a 1998.5 automatic cummins. i dont really wont to buy a new one can i make it strong enough to hold a good amout of power with out spending alot. O and the transmisson just got rebuild in Nov 2008 thats y im asking i dont wont to mess this one up. Im thinking about getting a airdog, adrenaline pulse, and some injectors.

 

You can do a Valve Body and Torque Converter upgrade.

 

who makes a good valve body i was looking at a BD power one but if theres a better one tell me.

o and which is a better torque converter BANKS or ATS.

 

DTT

We can tailer them to anything you need.

My recommendation is to build the entire unit though. I do understand the financial issues of today, but a TC and VB no matter who's is a temporary fix to a long term issue.

At least both components can be reused in a new install if properly cleaned and inspected.

I Installed a Full DTT tranny, about 40,000 miles on it and not a lick of problems! Bill Kondlay from DTT is very knowlegable and a good guy!

 

how much would it cost to do a full rebuild and thanks for yalls info

 

I agree with above because a whole unit ready to rock and roll is easier and you know it's going to work better than the bandaid of not doing it all at once. Suncoast is a good place too

 

Depends on if you want Billet Internals.

 

We just spent $2500, w/new suncoast converter, K3 overhaul kit w/valvebody mods. I didn't have to replace any hard parts.

 

Cost on building a complete trans will vary, anywhere from $2000-$7500 depending on what you get and who does the work. $2000 is pretty much a bear minimum for a better TC, VB and upgraded Bands, clutches, seals, billet strut anchor and apply lever. Provided you do the rebuild yourself and don't have to do any additional hard parts. If you plan on doing boosted launches or locked up shifts, I would start looking at shafts too if I were you.
