Cody. A bit but if this isnt your DD then why not put a Turbo 400 in it. Its bound to hold up and might be cheaper. Just a suggestion bud.

infact you asked the same question a few months ago: https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...ht=trans+brake

maybe you should have just ttt'ed that thread, just to keep the "BS" "REPEAT" threads down to a minimum.
If there is going to be a "Bust Cody's *****" thread, I need to be PM'd.

Im just wondering how well it would work in a heavy truck with no weight over the rear end. I would think it would work well on the street in 4hi with some drag radials on all four corners
If it won't hook off the brake pedal the trans brake will make it worse. Try it, you might end up spending some $ on the suspension instead.
You never know how strong your stuff is untill you break it.
