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.
