Ahh man hang in there. Just when i was ready to give up and build my trans i found a donor truck. Ill be doing the swap in a few weeks and my Auto will be forsale. Im In new hampshire. I could meet you somewhere if interested. The Truck has 130k on it and the Whhen i bought the truck it shifted awesome, however the TC was making noise. So i yanked the tranny and threw the cheapest TC in i could find. It shifts weird now due to a 250$ TC my mstake. If i had spent 400-600 on a nice TC the tranny would be perfect. I will sell it but i dont advise using the Tc thats in it. pm me if intrested. We could work a deal, i need clutch money to complete this swap lol.

I'm on my third one. I pull very heavy and just can't see myself with a 5 speed doing it. I came within inches of buying a 99 dually one ton with a 5 speed. Number one, I didn't want to shift with a load from a dead stop on a hill and two, I didn't want to start with the mods all over again. This last rebuild they put in a triple disk TC and its been working fine now for over 30K. If I blow this one I'll be getting a BTS, Woods or a Racer X. I run Shaefers trans oil, the same as BTS recomends. You have a beautiful truck man, I wouldn't give up on it because of a trans!

well ive been thinking about geting a newer 7.3 dually with a 6 speed. but i dont wanna loose the obs style. im thinking selling mine and i should get a pretty penny as its a new mexico truck in pa and buying a crew cab f350 4x4 with a 5 speed and making it a dually 4x4. thanks to Midwest i know how to do it pretty easily. i want to build it from the ground up. and if i can find one with a blown motor im gunna destroke it to a 5.9 12v. ive pretty much ran out of mods on this girl so im bored. also i cant get it inspected here in PA due to the new inspection laws. tires cant be more than two sizes bigger than factory and i have to have heat shields on my slacks! biggest load of crap ive ever seen in my life!
