I would go with twisted or bts there really isn't a better option imo

 

[MaxdLaw]

You buy all those parts but who will you have build it your local shop?

Imo the doing once for 6k seems a whole lot easier.

Probably the route I'm going

And from what I hear this built trannys (BD Suncoast etc.) will outlast the truck

My vote is for suncoast. 50+ passes and the last 15-20 in the 11s and hasn't skip a beat. Also twisted only heard great things but can't go wrong with either.

I've heard suncoast is one of the best around and they're warranty covers racing and sled pulling. Any truth to this?

Good option here as well.

suncoast imo doesn't build a fantastic 5r. My twisted stage 3 is covered no matter what.

Ya ive heard the guys at Twisted tell you to do a burnout leaving the shop... their warranty is awesome. It really shouldnt be that hard, Save yourself money and spend the 5/6g for a built trans and be done (dont buy parts and have it half assed unless you fully trust whos doing it). Whoever you wanna give the 5/6 grand to is really the only difference as long as its Twisted, RCD, or Midwest (these shops know the 5R pretty well..)

Burnout leaving the shop. Awesome lol

 

[MaxdLaw]

But it looks like I am going to be spending 5 or 6 grand from what I hear

I know Holders diesel offers a fully billet trans with precision converter for 5,000 you could look into that also

Another vote for Twisted as well. I love mine!

Plus Daryl and Rave are super nice to deal with and will answer any question you ever have. They have stood behind mine 100% so far!

Only ever heard great things about twisted also. If you were closer I would suggest MPD. They can build a great 5r also

I called them and they don't do in house transmissions anymore

 

[Josh@DirtyDiesels]

I guess I will have to change my statement to "they USED to build a sweet 5r".... Sorry about that

 

[Craig@MFI]

We have always done in house transmission and still do to this date
