Has anybody had any luck with a BD trans. I need some input on what trans. to go with. Or maybe just a valvebody an converter.

I know that they don't seem to be widely used by duramax owners, and I know that I read of a owner on here who had installed one and had issues. You may try a search.

so whats goin to be my best option

I would recommend either Suncoast or ATS. I have an ATS trans and Co-Pilot because the guy I deal w/ on my perf stuff has dealt with them a little more. I like it a lot BTW but you should be happy with either.

talked to the guys a PPE they said they could build a tranny for me reasonable price to. Anybody had dealings with there trans build

PPE uses Alto clutches and gives you a choice of converters but if I where you I would talk to Mike L thats my plan as soon as I save up the cash. "Your transmission is like a condom, better to have the best one and not need, then to go cheap and end up f******* yourself"

talked to the guys a PPE they said they could build a tranny for me reasonable price to. Anybody had dealings with there trans buildI'm going to do a PPE stage 4 built by PPE within the next few weeks. PM Dan their prices are very good and from what I've heard they do a good job on their builds. Mike L and Eric also build very good trannys but there too far from me.

I have had my BD tranny installed for about 2 months now (5000miles) and so far it shifts great and does everything exactly the way that BD said it would I also have the new BD 3 Disk torque converter and it works great too.

My truck did 525 HP on BD's dyno days a week ago exactly as they said it would with the Supermax Turbo and Intimidator Tuner.

Whats the diff. in suncoast stage lll to the stage v I hear that stage v just has a better warranty when it all comes down to it

SC 3 has no warranty except for parts. The warranty is the responsability of the builder.

Whats the diff. in suncoast stage lll to the stage v I hear that stage v just has a better warranty when it all comes down to itThe stage V has more than a stage lll, I think more clutches and better shafts and some other stuff.

ELHUNTER06, ask COBRA about PPE. I think he just installed one in his. I could be wrong but I think that is what he used.

Is there any suncoast dealers in maryland

Is there any suncoast dealers in maryland

Yes

Yes
Who an were are they located at?

Call me in the morning and I will give you the info.

I have had to redo 4 of them.

I sold a SC-V to a customer who tore up the BD trans in one truck pull. It went in to Suncoast as a core including the deep pan.

Probably coming in late on this one. I had a BD Tranny along with the BD Turbo. The turbo has been great but I had to replace the BD Tranny with a Mike L SC IV approx a year after I had the BD Tranny.
Mike L can tell you about what the BD Tranny looked like when he took it apart. The clutches were shot and warped.
I have had my SC IV for approx one year and have driven my 32.5 fiver across the US and Canada without any tranny problems at all. I have previously posted my issues with the BD tranny.
My advice is to get it done right the first time!!! IMHO the BD tranny is asub par unit. Ask BD what type of rear wheel HP they feel a BD will hold. I was advised 450 HP after it was installed and I started having problems with it.
