Re: Stock trans starting to slip 2nd to 3rd to overdrive
I built mine with a kit off of ebay for under $300 + a local guy $250 to build/labor.

Re: Stock trans starting to slip 2nd to 3rd to overdrive
That's the norm. Their parts are not all that bad if your truck is stock(13 sec build). I personally don't like the idea of using red this or blue that for the frictions, for example. Just make sure they upgrade the sunshell at least. Carbon frictions (4L60e) will last a long time. If you send it off to get rebuilt, keep tabs of your unique valve body and governor.

Some places will build with your parts when you bring them good stuff. Beast sunshell, and as mentioned above be sure they do not touch the valve body or governor. I think mine was 800 for parts 350 for pro rebuild labor. I bought a used 9/11 convertor, and also did a deep pan with drain plug. Love the fact it has the good parts in it, but know it is still the weak link once you start adding power above factory levels.

I got to speak with the gentleman at pro built automatics looks like I'll be buying on of his kits. Just need to confirm with the builder he will build my trans. I also have a hybrid 9/11 28-3200 I purchased off a member here I'll be adding.

Added the deep pan and cooler already I guess it didnt help much. Just curious are you running your cooler in sync with the radiator or solo?

I spoke to my builder and he said using the rad cooler is a key factor. I told him I was going to bypass it and he said its very important even though its a small pass.
I will be adding a cooler with a fan. $150-160. He had a off the shelf one which had no fan, for same price.

Re: Stock trans starting to slip 2nd to 3rd to overdrive
I bypassed the radiator trans cooler 8 years ago. I did install a B&M cooler. It doesn't see stop and do driving in traffic. And if I do take it to the track one or two runs is about all it will see. So I doubt if it gets very hot. Hasn't made any difference so far.
If it does go out I can install a 4l80.
