7.3L transmission overhaul/replacement looming, advise?
My transmission/torque converter is starting to slip a bit, and prior to another trip down to Oregon and back this spring (anticipating a 10K lb trailer coming back with the camper on the bed), I'm going to need to do some transmission work.
I expect the torque converter to be ready for replacement at this point, and I don't believe the transmission is really shot...just a re-build/refresh likely.
Any recommendations? Anyone been through this with a built 7.3L? I've had my computers de-tuned for some time, and I'd like to be able to open up the power...which means appropriately pairing a torque converter and transmission that can handle that.
I'm going to be limited to a local shop....so that's really going to take some research. I could take the truck to Anchorage to have it done...and I might, as I'm more likely to find a diesel shop with experience up there. Another option, is to have it done in Oregon while I'm down there. The trip down will be easy, basically empty. That could save some money, and open doors for additional shops.
What kind of mods/aftermarket/built transmissions are you 7.3L guys running?
