well, I managed to put in the firestone airbags last month, bought an 18' dovetail last week, and have just purchased a BD lowstall torque converter. I hope to do the install in the next couple of weeks.

just wondering what snags I should watch for...

naturally I will be replacing the front seal on the transmission.

any insights would naturally be appreciated.

If it was me I would be putting in a 2nd Gen Flexplate- see sticky for the numbers, get it from cummins- much cheaper. Also if you don't have one yet a trans temp guage.

Good luck,

Depending on the miles on your truck I would put a rear main seal in also.

How much did that BD run you?

I read the sticky for converting to a second gen auto, but didnt see any part #'s. are you sure the 2nd gen flex plate will work with 1st gen parts? do you have any pictures to demonstrate the difference?

tks,

converter 1060210X 795.00
core charge 300.00
PST 65.70
GST 76.65

TOTAL 1237.35

they charged both taxes on the core charge so I should get that back as well.

the provincial sales tax is 6%, the goods and services tax is 7%, so I should get back $339.00.

total cost $898.35. CDN

that doesnt include the cost of driving about 2 hours each way to the BD shop, then again I can lump that in with trips I make for other stuff.
