wondering how well an auto holds up to sum sled pulling. trying to decide which direction i wana go when i buy me another truck

 

Is it a built tranny or stock? I know alot of guys running autos and sled pulling. I know two guys that have 40 to 70 hooks on there auto trannys, Ones still running about the other twisted the input shaft after 45,000 miles of towing, racing and sled pulling with 809 hp

 

i am pulling with a auto. it is a built auto. i got about 18 hooks this year on the tranny.

 

well im just trying to get ideas of which direction i wana go when i look for another truck. i will diffently have the tranny built before any pulling gets done

i dont know much about trannys. lets say i buy me about an 05 dodge with auto what would be the best things to do to it trannys wise to handle alot of power and how much money we talking

 

I have an auto in my dually with semi rear! My rear is truly heavy to spin and i can roast em. I've been running Valvoline full synthetic in it i smash it all the time so far no problems and it's a stock transmission.

 

full billet goerend, something around 6 grand I think.

 

$6000? dang that thing better be able to survive an atomic bomb. what about some cheaper trans mods to hold up to around 500 hp

and palehorse your truck looks wicked! i want a dually on alcoas so bad

 

500 hp, u will need a tc and vb and a billet input. u may be able to survive with stock clutches for a very limited time, but i wouldnt push it hard at that power.

 

torque convert billet input i know but whats vb stand for?
