20,000 miles later and I still love mine. I tow, race and take it off roading and its been flawless not to mention the fantastic warrenty. You can't go wrong with him.

awesome man, that's what i was hoping to hear, i hope my loan goes through, so did you do the same thing that i wanna do? and do my numbers match up with yours? and also, what did he charge ya for installing it, or did you do it yourself? and one other thing, how does the torque converter hold under all that power you got under the hood?

I dont have a built tranny, but I have a couple of his parts, and I love them... Whats the deal with the "reinforced" flex plate? never heard of that. All I have seen are the $500 billet flexplate's.

Put a triple disk TC and a VB in my buddies truck and it made a whole different animal out of that. He loves it.

hey, i'm in the exact same situation...I just got cleared last week for a loan to do the tranny (263k on stocker). I'm trying to decide whether it's better to drive out and have it installed or pay the shipping both ways and do it myself. Sucks to have to take out a loan for a tranny, doesn't it? Haha. also trying to decide whether to go with the billet input. Good luck! -Josh

How much juice is your truck running? I was thinking about getting a simular set-up (transgo shift kit would be the only difference). I hope to push somewhere around 350-400hp by the time I'm done with everything.

If you are going to run a single disc, run his full valve body. I could slip my single disc with a transgo at about 300hp in my truck. For some reason a buddies truck with a tweaked stock VB, and a Comp box, and 275 injectors wont slip his single. So I dont know.

I'm set up around 450 hp right now and the power to the ground is awsome. I did set it up similar to you but without the flexplate.Also when I tow I pull a fiver and a quad trailer behind it and do not get passed very often. Dave did not install it but worked with my trans guy out here and it was not a problem. Dave is the Man!!

You can't go wrong with a tranmission and converter from Dave G. He's the best. Thanks Steve B.

great just what i wanna hear everyone! and cluckmaster, YES, it does suck taking out a loan, but i think it'll be very worth it in the long run, don't you? and cumminsdriver, he said that the reinforced is just that, not quite billet, he did offer me the billet one too, but he didn't push the billet, but he did recommend the reinforced, and if he's the man, then i'll listen to him!
