Did We Smoke The Transmission? - DIY 'Till I Die Ep. 5

Anthony Bruneni is joined by Jake Maher to discuss removing a transmission to be built to handle more power, what it can mean for the budget if they have a transmission that is smoked, and why they chose this specific transmission build that's going to handle what Anthony and Tim want from the truck!
Be sure to follow Tim and Anthony throughout the duration of the build right here!

1 major point missed on this one - no mention of the lb7 needing a pump rub kit! While the trans is out, there’s no better time to inspect for damage to the case and check if one was installed already; do the upgrade if not.

[@AnthonyDuramaxTuner]

I am not sure how we missed that! But the T-case did get a pump rub kit.

[@Duramaxtuner]

Good call. Thanks!

@@Duramaxtuner hey Nick - hopefully a quick trans/converter question. The kit in the video looks like it's spec'd with a Goerend X. What differences should I expect if I changed that to a Goerend G? I can't ask Mike anymore ;( Thanks!

Must be nice to have all that money to throw around did you not just put a 6-speed conversion in the transmission last episode? And now you're completely replacing the transmission?

[@AnthonyDuramaxTuner]

You are correct, we put the conversion in the transmission first as we had a fair amount of highway driving coming up. Once we were ready to build the transmission we went through the valve body and transferred it over to the built transmission.
