I'd love to get a built one, NADP(North American Diesel Performance) has one that can handle 450 horse for 3400 bucks, which aint bad.

Not too sure what went on it, torque converter and some internals from the sounds of it.

I was just merging into traffic, gave a little throttle, and kabang she went.

There is actually someone who installs them in the Seattle area. I know you are a little farther North.. but it may be worth your drive. He has great prices... Just check out this site and post up...

Northwest Ford Diesel

There is also Troyon Performance in Abbotsford!

Im orginally from Abbotsford and have family there. But if I could get a performance trans and know that it will hold up to the abuse, I'll be happy.
