I have had 2 separate built trans done by Mike L on 2 different trucks. Both were awesome!!! Only reason I had my present trans done by someone else is the long drive down to Mike L's shop was getting to be a pain. Mike L builds great transmissions and the customer service matches his great work.

Probably in the running for the crown here.

180k miles on an OLD "stage 3". 150k miles at 540 rwhp. The last 30K were at 800 rwhp. Big nitrous hits, low 11 second passes, 4th/5th gear burnouts etc etc and it finally decided it had enough. Talk about getting your moneys worth. That trans was built back in 08 I believe and was never meant to hold that power to begin with. :thumb:

My 11,000lb 8.1 gasser work truck, it has over 100,000 miles and not a hint of a trouble. This truck now has 235,000

The Diesel has 80,000 miles and still flawless. I am fortunate to have had the work done by the "sheep herder". :thumb:
Unfortunately this tranny only lasted till 132,000 miles. But this wasn't caused by anything of Mike's. The main housing somehow broke. The new tranny now has 34,000 and still going strong. :thumb:

Betty is coming up on 50k and about 600 or so passes I think. And a sled pull or two, had it built 2 years ago. Dad's truck probably had less than 10k on his year old trans. Casper has about less than 200 miles or so and three 1/8 mile passes..:roflmao:.
