When you do it make sure you have 100% warranty on the job. Not a halfass deal. You might have to go thru a few take outs if you get major troubles. An extra $600 or whatever is expereience for work done alot of times by these tranny Drs. The bad stories are all over the place from good deals so don't land in that crap. Hope you get a choice made that gets it built real good.

This is no help to you your so far away, but just to give you an idea of the cost of having a builder pull the trans build it and reinstall with fluid ready to drive. There is a Guy in NC that builds lots of allisons and if I'm not mistaken he charges around $3500.00 out the door. This includes a kit capable of holding 800+ HP and a 3 disc converter. I think you'll find most of the reputable builders all over the country can build you a stout trans for $4000.00 or less. And they do all the work!
Just wanted to make a correction, Dustin does build a trans for $3500.00 out the door, its a Suncoast stage 3 with a 3 disc converter. This kit is capable of 500+ HP but Dustin does a little extra to his builds that I think increases line preasure for more holding power.

Just got through reading Diesel Addictions website about there trans build. Whats the difference between his stage 3 & 4 kits? Is it the horsepower capabilities or the convertor in it? Thanks Tim

Not trying to violate vendor policies - just answering questions that have been asked about me, and clarifying some things that have been said.

Sorry Edit Kat

How much is your tranfer case brace? In your opinion what's it's value in placement on an LBZ with 600hp like tune? Trans tail hangs out there just thought I'd ask to see.

I could understand not wanting you to advertise but can't even answer a question about yourself when it was specifically to you about your parts and work?? WOW! *not flaming any mods or admin,,, just a little flabbergasted about it*

Scotty Costello is up north of Oak Grove, he can do it and will do a good job. Not sure what kind of price though. I'm sure it will be comparable to anyone else. Around here he is the only good choice.

Non-vendors cannot post pricing for services performed...It's not acceptable for our supporting vendors...othrgrl is 100% aware of this...We didn't allow it when he was a vendor, he made the choice to stop supporting the forum...Hope this clears things up Matt...
