a company called SAAII took mine out of here, but I dont know who shipped it back. Shipping takes 5-7 days and cost around $450 one way from what I remember.

I think Mike said itd be around 4500 shipped but i may be making that up so dont take my word for it. But id rather pay extra to have him do it and know it was done right. And there is no one in town I trust so i dont have too many options.

lol ya, you had some bad experiences dealin with transmissions that i would really hate to go through, costs way too much money. Did that guy at the dealership tried to do yours the first time and screwed it up pay for the damages?Jd could probably do it but he charges more than if i sent it to Mike so thats a no go. We need a good experienced Allison builder around here.

The HTT was the first charger that ran 11's on a fuel-only Dmax. I know, I was driving. :D

Now it is improved. It has a better turbine housing for more power. It's great for towing, yet has enough top end for the dragstrip or sledpulls. It's a journal bearing, wastegate BorgWarner S300G chassis that has been heavily modified by High Tech.

I believe it's the most underrated turbo for our trucks.

Are you sure about this? What about a gold Reg cab truck at fontana ( I think it had PPE on it somewhere), It was drived by a guy named Joe I think. LOL????

No, that was later I believe. Both trucks were at Bakersfield, and Joe's truck came very close, but Casper got there first.

I was there that night in Bakersfield. You were worried that Rob was going to be the first one. Don't think Rob went to the track that night and you did it.

Pat is 100% correct (imagine that), I Just spent about a 1/2 an hour going through all the video's/time slips. Pat was first with a 11.77 @ 114 to our 12.06 @114. My bad sorry... I just watched the video after he made it back to the pits (good times, everyone was so excited) Not sure how i got this mixed up, Oh well its done now!

Great times with great people!!!!!!

Joe's truck may have went 11.xx at Fontana that day, but the smoke was blinding the lights, and traction was poor. Never got the 11 slip that day, even though I believe the truck should have.

It cost me $200 there and around $200 back with conv in it, but that was to lousiana not cal.:)

Hmm thats not bad but the trip to cali will probably up the price pretty good.
