Budget Transmission Upgrades
Big Power Handling at Small PricesPerhaps the single most expensive (and destroyed) part of a diesel pickup is the transmission. From the 400-lb-ft Ram back in 1989 to the 800-plus-lb-ft numbers of the current Big Three, diesel transmissions have one of the toughest jobs in the pickup truck industry. What makes matters worse is that with every horsepower added, 1½ to 2 lb-ft of torque also makes its way from the engine to the transmission. This means that once power gets up to the 500hp level, nearly 1,000 lb-ft of torque is unleashed on the transmission. No matter what make or model the transmission is, that’s a big pill to swallow.
