5r110 swap? let the flaming begin

I think I remember it being said that dodges make their torque lower in the rpm band. That much torque at slow(er) speeds is hard on parts. That was the theory on dodges breaking inputs/outputs and not the durys .... or so I read.

I know one of the dodge guys run the pcs controller and still have the problems, it's a heavy truck though.
The Duraflite is much lighter, has much better gear ratios for racing ( don't need 5 speeds for racing ), less gear train drag because of smaller gears, and does not need to be defueled so it shifts quicker.
This may be a stupid question but could you still daily drive a dmax with a duraflite in it and not hate life?
Ok with that answered would you then be forced to change the TC even more often the the 25 passes that have been mentioned in here?
If its not 25 , then how many passes /miles is a converter good for ? or how many do you guys have on Bucks ?
not sure on an exact number,but the tq con have held up great.there have been some prototype stuff that was tried that took a while to get dialed in. as far as miles the truck doesnt get driven daily,but he does drive it to town on parts and beer runs and drives it to the local track when he goes.in an effort to save argument il say rebuild the duraflite and refrsh the tq con after 25 9sec passes. as for the ally we are still waiting for the 9 sec pass,i know many are hopeful Ron @ Suncoast being one as well. goodluck on getting in the 9s.
i was under the impression from Dennis Perry that Orange Crush's Allison which was built in house at TS ran 9's
It did , but it never did it in a reliable manner , IMOP if an ally can do repeatable 9 sec runs it will count but a 1 hit wonder doesn't ( not referring to orange crush ) , but no full size original equipped duramax truck has done it . Ornge Crush and Dirty Max are the only 2.
