Ok guys, I'm getting ready to have my tranny rebuilt at the end of the month. I need to know which automatic tranny we have, the diesel or gas version so that I can relay that to the tranny shop.
What's the difference in the fluid? I know it has ATF+4 right now. Also, they will install a shift kit as part of the standard rebuild. What other fairly inexpensive enhancements can I have added, keeping those to about $300 above the rebuild cost.Strongly suggest using DEXRON VI instead of ATF+4
But your tranny shop will likely cover themselves and say IT'S NOT APPROVED FOR THIS TRANSMISSION!!!

The shop rebuilds the torque converter, plus the pump and valve body. I researched the stall converter, a bit out of my price range. I'm already looking at around $3800 with the shift kit.Up to you man.
Glad to see its finally getting repaired.
Hopefully they will do a good flush on the convertor OR if is in your budget a new convertor in the 2600 to 2800 stall range.
They know what I have, it was for my own information. This shop is well known and has nothing but accolades from everyone who's taken their vehicle to them, so I feel confident. If they F it up, they get to fix/replace it.any experienced tranny shop should not be relying on you ? to tell them what tranny you have ?? if they are ? I would rethink the shop's ability to build you a correct tranny ?
I am excited for you. You will think it is a different vehicle and it will be so much quicker and responsive.They know what I have, it was for my own information.

So all these years I thought a super charger made the difference, not exhaust. Who knew...I am excited for you. You will think it is a different vehicle and it will be so much quicker and responsive.
Be even faster with an exhaust like mine![]()
No, don't plan to tow anything.depends on what you will use it for ?? towing etc ?
You have a QC right? Did you add one for the hp you have?Because the quad cabs came with a trailer hitch, I'm assuming the cooler is also up to the task.
