OP, update on trans quote thru my BIL.
$1636 plus 800 core plus 186 shipping plus tax and install labor. 18m/18k warr and about a week to build plus shipping time. Supposed to have the latest updates but w/o custom options. Optional 36/100 warr for 150.
I just gave the go ahead to order and we'll probably mod the valve body for quicker shifting, maybe another 100?
I should probably fill it with synthetic from the get go, right guys?

Synthetic is better, but the dino fluids are getting so good that there isn't a huge difference any longer.

I guess I'm surprised the OP or anyone else is not curious about the trans source...Transtar Industries. Nationwide warranty.

I never bought a complete trans from Transtar, but when I had a shop I used to buy all of my transmission parts from them.

  1. Looking for opinions on possible torque converter vibration

    99 & up 7.3L Power Stroke Engine & Drivetrain
    Hey all, I have been plagued with a vibration for some time now.

I have also tried...

  5. 02' 7.3 Dies while driving.

    99 & up 7.3L Power Stroke Engine & Drivetrain
    If I leave my truck sit for a day it will start fine and idle. After about 100ft of driving it will not respond to the pedal. I pump the hell out of it, it struggles to stay running, then dies. If I crank on it for about 20 or so seconds a few times the starter seems to wind up faster and...

    Truck has 355,000 miles on the original injectors. They don't like the cold, but that is not my problem. I have a no start condition. Drive to the beer store and the truck runs fine. I buy beer hop in the truck and the truck will not start. Twist the key and the engine spins over fast but has...
