What would i need for my tranny to handle 700-800 horse, And take the abuse of alot of sledpulling and pulling a 15,000 pound 5th wheel all the time?

 

Real simple, a full billet tranny.

Enough tranny to do that is gonna run you between $7000 - $8000.

 

Okay thanks who makes the best parts? Or just fully bilt tranny?

 

The names that you won't go wrong with are SunCoast, Goerend and Garmon.

Just be careful who you go with, there is a HUGE difference between BUILT and RE-BUILT.

Putting a good tranny together is an art form and there aren't a lot of masters. I'll install a tranny, but I know my limits and building trannies is outside what I'll do.

 

Well it is known that Bully dog with crazy larry is a stock transmission KILLER in its self. Let me guess you keep it on extreme when not towing????????
plus with what you wanna do with the truck its best to get the best trans you can buy so it wont fail at the wrong time
I'm saving my pennies for a built trans
I also have the triple dog with stock trans I know I'm going to blow it up

 

haha k thanks guys, And i hardly ever used crazylarry just to blow smoke at people once in a while lol i allways kept in on stock, dodge trannys are just junk i think...

 

Well they are not junk when you have stock power. When you build a motor for your drag car do you leave the stock trans in it? I did it didn't last very long and blew at the wrong time with money on the race. Stock trans is good for a stock engine. Check that post out it give a little more detail to the trans

I don't abuse my truck at all. I have the triple dog on mine set on TOW and sometimes Performance, with the low end torque on. I treat my truck pretty good. I turn all the stuff off and put it on TOW when I tow, so I hope mine last for awhile.

 

i have a 04.5 dodge cummins and if i dont put the low end torque on mine feels like its just running stock.do i need to turn off the low end torque when pulling?if i load the programmer on my truck and dont add the low end torque feels like its factory cant even really tell the diffrence from tow to extreme.i just need some advice on maybe what is going on.
