I am not really sure yet. Garmon (In GA.)is highly recommended on the DOF forum.
DOF usually has a G2G around March at the Doghouse. Was thinking of stopping on the way up to the G2G and getting it done. Or have the parts shipped to the G2G and have it done there. But, I am always open to suggestions. There is suppose to be guy in Land of Lakes are that is highly recommended on another CTD forum.

Depending on what is recommended, could just add 3 disk TC, valve body, and rebuild kit if needed to mine. Or just buy a complete tranny ready to go. Garmon has a tow/performance set up I am looking at.

Who do you reccomend?

I just had a rebuilt unit put in my gen2...of course it is a 46RE, but they guy I went to, Bill Marsh, will also do custom build ups. I dropped my truck off in Leesburg at his shop at like 10AM last Monday morning and he had it done at 11AM Tuesday morning and he did the trans replacement, 3 freeze plugs and an aftermarket trans cooler set up...and it was only $1125 out the door, with a lifetime warranty.

It is called Budget Transmission, they are right off 27 in Leesburg

273...have not heard of those motors in awhile. Looked at a Dart with one in it back in the early 70's

I was in the USAF 73-79 362X1 Telephone switching equipment repairman.

Thank's for your service,yes 273 it was a 2bbl motor but i installed a formula S 4 bbl manifold and a edelbrock 500 cfm carb,adjusted the valves it woke that motor up. With a little portin and polishin, small cam those motors will scream [thats the plan] got a 904 that came with the charger cheeta valve body all drag racing internals to go in the cuda after the charger is runnin.

Nice!

273 was in line with the 283, 289? Was there a high performance version?

Are on Dodgeownerforums.com by any chance? I've been visiting the cummins section of that forum and it seems very friendly to newbies, where some other diesel forums are not newbie friendly.

welcome over, but you banned over there for getting rid of your ram

Getting rid of the Ram? Nope, still have it.
