: Need help choosing a trans. 08 HD EFILive lifted 8.1HD 05-11-2008, 01:28 PM Need help choosing a trans. for a 2008 GMC 2500HD. It has a 495tune from Nick @ Dmaxtuner, with a strait pipe and it will be getting an intake and a lift pump. It is also lifted with a 9" CST on 37 swampers and 22s. What is the best transmission to go with? It will also be used to tow a dozer on a goosneck(with a diff. tune of course). Need some input. Thanks. LWATSON 05-11-2008, 04:00 PM At your power level I would get at least a stage 4 tranny, Suncoast and ATS are popular on this site, PPE also builds a great tranny. PPE uses Suncoast kits but the good thing about them is you can choose any converter you want, your not limited to just one brand. jb23 05-11-2008, 09:54 PM 37 swampers, gooseneck ,dozer ,9" lift, will be a good test for all thoughts moving parts in that drive line. Is it a medium size dozer or a 953 cat. Have any pics of what you are pulling 05Smoker 05-11-2008, 09:59 PM My brother's truck is an 07.5 LMM with Nick's tune and his Fleece SCIV works great with it. 8.1HD 05-13-2008, 01:05 AM Its a John Deere 450J LGP cab and air. So what is the best converter to go with? As for the trans. I was thinking suncoast stage 5 but wasnt sure if there was something better to go with for towing. 8.1HD 05-20-2008, 12:32 PM any other input?

Hahaha it will handle it all day long. I am running the suncoast stage 4 with the 1058 converter from Suncoast, built by Mike L. I love it.
