Default RPM Transmissions...On it's way back!

RPM Transmissions in Indiana just got done doing a complete Level X build on my 4L60E w/ a 3200 stall triple disk billet converter and it is on it's way back! I can't wait till the weather warms up and I can take it out and cruise to see how she shifts and maybe do a few hits to see how it shifts under WOT. Should be a blast! RPM has been great to do business with and I will DEFINITELY be returning to them for a future 80E conversion if I ever decide to go that far.

Hell Yes!! Haha RPM has had the truck just barely over a month. The last transmission builder I took it to had the truck for 7 months so I'm glad to get it back. I know RPM does quality work so I'm glad I took it to them. Thanks man.

Correct. It was 7 months to build the trans at the last builder. From ordering parts, to doing the work, to correcting some problems with the trans all in total I didn't have the truck in my garage for 7 months.
