Default who to buy tranny from?

Hey guys,
have a '99 1500 4x4 and the tranny is shot. On top of that, the housing is busted so no rebuild is possible. I want to get a rebuilt that is high performance for towing heavy loads and NOT have to worry about my transmission again... (lol, if thats even possible with these trucks!)

I've heard bad reviews about PATC on their service.
Good reviews about Goerend and I don't know any others.

Can anyone advise?

Thanks,
Steve

martin saine he's on the east coast I believe. the man does the mopar trans like a fiend. alot of guys on the jeeps forum use him. (thespeedfreaks.net) is where we have the fastest jeeps putting down the power and there running the martin saine transmissions. he can build to your liking. not sure about cores with him but it never hurts to check it out. If they can run 11"s and not shell them out. just my route when i feel this pig is gonna grenade.

ah i had my grand cherokee's transfercase done out east. but his name was on the thought he was east. looked at the old files on the computer for parts and locations/contacts. found the sections for transmissions he being out west. yup, just needed to look at ten year old files. to bring back the memories. only problem buying parts is easy getting time to install has been difficult. I am waiting to get the power adders in then do the trans and he's where i am getting mine done.
