Depends on what you plan to do and what mods you have.
I am looking into one for both my 350 and my Ex. My cost is right around 3k for the HD with TC. 3 year/unlimited warranty
Actually looking at the Diesel site trans as well. Cost is about the same, but the TC is billet. Just have not heard a lot of personal experiences with using one, and I have not been able to find any info on the warranty.

Its just a tow pig, 160cc injectors tuned to tow that is all. I just need to get the 16k pig up and down the road. Luckily I was just towing the boat home last night.
I was looking at the Diesel Site one this morning. If everything is what they say it is, I would think it would be a good one to go with.
I see Sunrise has the HD for $2600 and I think freight will have to be added to that. Not sure if that includes the converter also. The trans does ok when it is cool, just gets hot and starts getting grumpy. I am going to call DS this morning and see what they have to say on it.

Let us know. I have not had the opportunity to call them yet.

I would trust anything that Dieselsite sells.
All the things I have gotten from them have been good. I am just on the fence whether the upgrades on it are worth the extra $. I want to replace the original HPOP with one of there pumps also. Although if the reman Ford last as long as the original I will make it way longer than I will still own the truck. It is on the 5 year replacement plan, its only getting driven about 5-10k a year right now. All towing miles

2 year unlimited mile warranty on the Legendary 4R100 or E4OD Transmission but theres some additional option once its out of warranty. I am terribly unfamiliar with it but you can call and ask for Dan if you like to discuss what those options were. Dans probably the most knowledgeable on the subject besides Bob, who is unavailable today because he has to build transmissions.

What part of Texas are you in? I have a local guy to me that has built a few for me and several buddies that have done great! His pricing is fantastic, and he has a pretty solid warranty too. He is in the Clear Lake area.

Any idea of the HP/TQ rating on them?

Not at all... again, I'm not familiar with the transmissions at all save the basic warranty info, cost, and core info (the stuff I deal with). A call to one of the techs will be the best way to figure that out.

That indicates a bad solenoid or possibly a wiring issue between the TCC solenoid and the PCM.

I just looked at the DS trans, looks very well thought out, I wonder if he is going to limit the max HP for his warranty?

Jennifer, can you do all of us a favor, and y'all too. I know Bob is super busy, can you please ask him to tear himself away for a bit and tell us about your transmission.
Like I say, I need a trans, but can't afford one right now. If I could afford a good trans, it would be yours. Simply because I know that y'all will not put something out there that is not up to snuff.
However, lot's of people do not have the same blind faith that I do and want to hear something. Bob would be awesome to explain all of this stuff.

On a side note, have you thought about a junk yard tranny until you can buy what you want?

This is a big thing you ask of me. Tearing Bob away from his projects?
Not everyone is brave enough to enter the lion's den...
I'll see what I can do.
EDIT - You think you guys could get me an idea of what specific questions or a general idea of what you'd like to get answered from him? I don't think it'll be a problem to get him to do a good informative post but I know the subject will come up a lot in the future so if we can knock a lot of it out now that would save his time in the future AND I can reference this thread for others that pop up! It's true that he just doesn't come to the forums anymore due to lack of time but this way will help everyone out in one go!
EDIT 2 - Also, here's a fun article if anyone has time to read until I can get Bob out here. http://www.trucktrend.com/how-to/tr...ransmission-upgrade-and-install-shift-change/
