safirenfish · #1 (**permalink**) 05-17-2008, 10:44 AM

wanting to upgrade trans in '01 f350 v-10 4x4 superduty. truck is tweeked some...stainless gale banks headers and exhaust, k&n intake, fab-tech lift, arb air locker in front, detroit in rear, 44'' boggers, 5.88 gears, truck has over 200k on it and still eats camaro's and mustangs for lunch. the tranny is fixing to croak and wanted input on any performance 4x4 tranny's out there that are more bullet proof. truck belongs to a good friend who has taken great care of it and wants to put a stouter tranny in it. the one in it was replaced 100k ago, got from dealer and want something with more "balls" and stronger clutches and torque convertor. any help would be appreciated.

BTS comes to mind.
Factory Tech is another.

Are any of the diesel clutch upgrades possible with your flywheel? Hmm...

For your 5spd manual tranny...I think the CenterForce is one of the best. Here is a link...

Centerforce Clutches

Good luck...

Any details of your turbo build floating around?

blownv10f250 · #12 (**permalink**) 05-19-2008, 11:04 PM

no just finnished the v10 blown is a beast this is my first post on it, burns the tires through 2 and 3 boost builds fast and it just keeps pullin until the clutch went out. anyone needing know how i will help lot of work but it was worth it, lots of toque.

yeah..it is before the tuning or even touching the comp it was over 500.....I have not had it put back on the dyno because it burned up the clutch but it was incredible I was quite surprised and so was every one else even those that thoug it was a joke not any more now they want tobuild a blown v10 for their mustang....lol.
