Which TST plate to choose?

Just wondering what TST plate number to go with. I really don't want to do any trans. modifications, at least not right off the bat. The truck that it wil be going on is a 94-96 auto....Also how hard is it to install yourself, being that the kit comes with a video and instructions.... I don't have to much diesel knowledge, but pretty good taking things apart and putting back together.......I will also be adding isspro - pyro, boost pressure, and trans temp guages.......Also a better air filter....Any suggestions on which type of air filter to use would also be appreciated......

If you're not going to do any tranny mods ... a #6 is what you want to put in there ...

I was real gun shy when I decided to install the #11 plate in my 97 5 speed. But looking back now...its a cake walk. One of the things that I did was I bought one of those manual impact tools that you hit with a hammer. There are a lot of different ways to remove those brake off screws but this way to me was the fastest and easiest..<br> Its not hard to make the change...the only problem is that after you make the change...you want more ;D ;D ;D<br><br>Rick

Where do you get one of those manual impact tools, and how much do they cost?

Sears is where I got mine...and Eddie is right on the price. The only thing else that I got was some of those torqs head tips. I dont remember which one worked the best...any of you other guys know?????<br> I did get a new set of intake gaskets just to make sure that I had them on hand if for some reason my got messed up when I took the horn off..<br><br>Rick

Would a #8 be a little safer for the stock auto since #6 is the highest the auto tranny can handle before any mods???

A #6 is rated for 230 hp and 605 torque when used on the 94 &amp; 95 (160 hp stock) with auto. The #8 with a 96 auto (180 hp stock) is rated for 230/605 and the #6 is 250/635.<br><br>Jerry<br>
