Well, the day's finally come!!! 

 

Called and setup my appointment with Jon so he can set me up with a proper transmission!

 

I can't wait to finally have a trans that I won't have to worry about and then I can start looking at some more power!

 

I'll keep this thread up to date on my trip out there and try and snap a few pics here and there and then any follow on stuff once I have the trans installed.

Ask Jon if he drills a hole in the input shaft for added flow/lube, if you could. And what stall and blade converter you go with.

If I'm remembering what he said correctly, he said for stock chargers up to about a 62 sized charger he runs a stall speed around 2-300 lower then stock. Said any bigger charger and it would lag with that lower stall speed and that he typically just leaves it at stock stall speed for guys running huge chargers.

Looking forward to your updates. 

Somewhere on here he posted all the things he does when he rebuilds.   

You won't be sorry you have him do you transmission work. I'm still enjoying my 46RE that he built. Still shifts strong and pulls strong.

I can't wait! I know he doesn't like to brag but he mentioned one guy towing a huge triple axle toy hauler all over the US with something like 75k worth of hauling it on the rebuilt trans and when he went to service it he said it looked as good as the day he built the trans. That's the kind of longevity and piece of mind I'm looking for!

I'm with Mike.  Not too many miles yet on this one but I towed my toyhauler to OR coast and back this week and performed flawlessly.   GVW a bit over 17,000 and had the Comp on 5x5.  Would bury the pyro so could only use about half throttle.  I did back it off to 3 but still wanted to run over 1,300* but I haven't J-hooked the turbo yet.  You WILL be happy!

I too would like a long term update. I have about 46k on my dtt transmission, but I'm always going to be wondering about it.

 

And if things i may just ship a trans out there for him to build for me.

 

@Russ Roth that's a nice laker, our Canada fishing trip can't get here fast enough. 

Thanks but it is a wild winter steelhead.  It was released to go make more.  =)  I see I need to update my rig!

 

 

Glad you chimed in @Russ Roth really looking forward to May!

I'll definitely keep you all in the loop long term. 

@Russ Roth meant to ask, did you have Jon put a deep pan on? Are you running a trans temp gauge?

I had @Dynamic build mine! You'll be happy!

I see you went with the mag-hytec pan, does that also come with a port to tap into for a temp gauge? Also, did you request Jon to use the Goerend flywheel?

I have a deep pan and a temp gauge.   I had the pan and gauge already.  He used the Georend flex plate.  Had trouble with welds on what he had been using and upgraded.

Sorry for the delayed reply. 

 

I bought My mag pan used in excellent shape on eBay, it did have the tapped port already, not sure if previous owner did it or if it comes like that.

 

Jon suggested Goerend flywheel because of their good rep. For $350, its cheap insurance on a $4,500 tranny...

Asked him and he said that he doesn't drill any holes in the input shaft but does drill holes for added flow/lube, just not directly into the shaft. He also stated that stock stall speeds are roughly 2000rpm, maybe slightly higher, and that for a stock truck up to my future turbo (62/65/12) he recommends going with a 'slight lower then stock' converter and said it should fall roughly around 1750ish-rpm. Anything bigger and he recommended closer to stock stall speed. I'm also going to have him install a Goerend flex plate which is says is typically needed around the 500hp range.

I also have a tap on my mag pan. But i don't use it, i get my temp from the output line.

That's the hard line right? Did you tap it?

 

 

Question for @Russ Roth and @crf450ish, did you guys go with the cascade converter in your builds?

If you ask Dynamic he'll say to place the sensor in the pan not the hot line of the cooler.

Yes it is the hard line, I ended up using a T fitting and it has compression fittings on it.

Once it set up, it was good, but torquing the fittings was a bit.

I brought that up when I built my transmission, but they told me the double deep pan would give me cooler readings then the output line, which is coming right from the transmission. So So i can only wonder if Dynamic is talking about normal or double deep pans?

Thanks, I'll definitely bring that up to him when we talk next. I'm pretty sure I asked before and I think he did say to just run the temp out of the pan, but I'd be interested to hear his reasoning behind it if that's actually what he recommends.
