New Goerend installed. Sweet!

Just got my Goerend installed on Wednesday. Heavy Duty everything with Billet input/output, billet flex, triple lock, etc... All I can say is KICK ***! Transmission performs awesome. I can't wait to bomb my 12 valve a little and take advantage of a "real trans" instead of the POS stock trans that roasted on me.
Installed my gauges today. I also have the DD Mag Hytec and my trans doesn't go much higher than 110-120. Nice to finally be able to monitor everything. Life as a stocker is over... Party on!

The addition and use of a torque converter lockup switch can improve 0-60mph times by 3-5 seconds, improve your ability to stay in a higher gear when pulling heavy loads, and improves braking in 3rd and 4th gears when using an exhaust brake. Use of the method can be hard on the drive train which is why I used all billet parts for my trans. I don't have a link but I'm sure Dave Goerend could email the instructions.

when i was test driving trucks i couldnt believe how gutless the stock trannys made these trucks feel. then i test drove one with a built tranny with the mods you mentioned. thats the truck i bought and holy crap does it make a difference.
