In Mexico we have good quality and cheap prices. I always have thougth that in USA the paint costs are ridiculous.

New reman tranny on the way.

Took the old one out in the AM.



triple disc low stall TC from Torco held up to the abuse I gave her since 12/12/15 I would recommend this unit to anybody that has an E4OD or 4r100 only paid IIRC $260 for it.

I'm actually getting it thru our local parts store, bough a couple of them for some of the works and they have held up to the abuse. The only thing Im going to install a new triple disc low stall TC instead of their single disc low stall TC.

I am anxious to hear how this transmission performs, even though I'm a manual guy.

National Transmission.
Just came back from the test drive and I'm satisfy the only thing thats bad is I got to have my tunes messed with since this tranny has a shift kit, Im getting very hard shifts on my tow tunes but not on my stock tune.

Trucks been doing great and spoiled her with new batt cables, changed the TRS connector as it was shorting out and causing my starter to engage while driving. Well enough with writing I'll let the retratos do the talking.

Old garbage connector.

New connector ready to be heat shrinked

New cables I ordered the cold start option which has the 3/0 starter wire. Shout out to SicarioX (HitmanX) for txt me the link. Thank you vato







couldn't get the cover on the passenger side + side still haven't gotten around to figure it out either lol..

$297, 319 with shipping I vouch for this company quality is awesome and made in the USA. I haven't looked into it yet but soon, I'm planning on sending my spare pcm to get reflashed to be obd2 compliant so I can start data loging.
