Im looking to get my lly's trans built somewhere near north central ohio. I can travel a bit but dont want to go to crazy. Im looking for someone who knows what they are doing and are familiar with the allison. Want a trans that can hold up to 700-800 hp. Suncoast quoted me around 5800 for just parts. But i wanna know do i need a shift kit, mike l's trim springs and anything else before i get into this. I thought about building it myself. Extremely mechanically inclined but just never tore into an allison. Any one have any input on this. I want to do it once and be done with it.

Ive heard of redline, and my buddy took his truck there. Not sure if i really cared for their work. Took his lml in for an egr delete and looks like they just put a h&s on and unplugged the egr valves to me. Merchant is a good idea and maybe dirty hooker diesel. What would a ball park price be that people hare paying for a built trans with billet input, output, and flexplate. Labor and parts?

Merchant automotive just quoted me $6301 for a build that will hold over 700 hp. And thats me dropping the truck off and it being done in a couple days. Doesn't sound to bad to me. Wouldn't even have to worry about pulling the trans myself.

I had Tony at dirty Hooker build mine. I'm happy with it, great customer service. He can have you in and out in a day if he's got a build trans at his shop.

If you go to merchant don't head twards detroit or you'll be 2hrs to the east of them. They are closer to Grand Rapids. Doesn't Danville and fleece do Allison's? Might be closer.

Isn't Caleb (Girls Night Out pull truck and fastest manual truck) up in N. OH? Does he build a good trans?

Blackout Performance is Caleb Baker's business near pittsburgh, PA. Well worth the trip for you.

Powermax was in Salem, OH, but i think he hung it up. My first trans build was by him and held up for a long time.

Toops or Firepunk could probably handle it, even though they are both Dodge-centric shops.

Danville or Fleece would be the next closest.

Merchant near Detroit....:roflmao:

I am 30 minutes from Merchant and wouldn't have my trans done there. I have heard of some not so good things about their work from a reputable builder. Maybe they have gotten better but do some good research before dropping that amount of coin. As for warranty just ask them when you have them on the phone.

Try days diesel. Dmitri Millard is a huge name and he builds out of their shop when he is out this way.
