Budget 5.9 Magnum build..err?...

Sorry I forgot that this is a gasser, I still remember going thru a few very expensive transmissions. You should be fine. When I bought my 2010 dodge 3500 diesel, everyone told me that 68rfe where junk as well. I never owned a NADP built transmission
Depending on how much power you have, will determine how long the transmission will live. I cant wait to see what you get built.

Out here, I used to go to the lounges and little bars a lot more often, and as soon as there's a little snow on the ground, those diesels stay running half the night!
The NADP guys in Edmonton are pretty good. I had a more local shop change out the transmission for me. I noticed that it seemed to lose a little fluid, and it took me a long time to get around to taking it down to them. I think I was within a few days of my 3 year warranty when I took it back for an appointment to have them look at it. Had to leave it with them for a day or 2. The guy at the counter said it took a little longer because it was a custom transmission. I think they freshened it up, and adjusted it for me! Didn't pay a thing. Performs well, so I'm pretty impressed.
Probably similar work to Suncoast that I hear good things about. They build a really stout Dodge transmission, too.

Not sure; I thought that they would have the same number of gears to do the same thing in a "heavier duty cycle". But then again, I'm not a transmission guy, and there's a reason that I had them do it. I believe that they were recommended first, and the other reason is that I would still be kicking transmission parts underneath shelving, if left to my own devices...
From what I read, they are pretty similar. When I talked to the guy originally at NADP, I told him that I wanted more friction material, firmer shifts with less slip, a good billet torque converter, and that I tow a little, 4x4, and want it to be able to handle some abuse and more power. Also got a bigger pan. I think that I ended up with a 46 built like a 47?
