Hello guys this is an awsome site.
I have recently bought a 2002 gmc with the 6.6 . I have installed a ppe standard programmer,a muffler delete pipe. no cat conv I am going to run a cold air intake , I have already done the intake air heater delete.I will run a lift pump soon.and a ppe boost valve and profab intake horn.that is the most performance i will give the truck. I want to run lvl 5 ppe tuner setting occasionally and pull a 7000-10000 lbs a few times a year up to 200 miles on flat michigan roads. with that said i hope you can help.

I am going to rebuild my trans but its a huge bite to take to go all out. my plans are either a full rebuild with the best clutchs and steelswith a fresh single disc converter and a transgo shift kit.
OR should I go with a full rebuild with new factory clutches and steels with a transgo shift kit and a TRIPLE disc converter?
Is it that important to have alto clutches and koleen steels.I have built several transbrake 400/350 turbo trans's and only need alto/koleen when we run up on t/brake or excessive street drive with high stall converter.
I am new to the diesel world so any advise from the pro's would be greatful
Thank You

And you really will regret skimping on the trans. With how easy it is to make power, it will always be your limiting factor.

Do it right the first time or you will be pulling it out again.

x2 on getting it built right the first time.

Getting good references (like from Tom above) is a great idea.

Thanks guys
I am thinking I should just do it right. I spoke with tony at all season and thought I would go with the precision ml converter.
If I could by chance get a stall of my choice what should I get. Is a 1500 stall to little. Just curious.
thanks again
