Just call Frank at Performabuilt and be done with it.Blowing tranny after tranny and going back with a stock one is crazy IMO.LOL cause they will just break again.Get a real tranny from Frank!!

I dont like the way Dodge ride too stiff for me, also not real crazy over the new front ends and the coil spring rear suspension would have to go upgrade to the leaf spring set up. IMO.

2nd that vote. I had 3 blown Chevy transmissions, and all were replaced by Chevy. Call Vince. I wouldn't give up that Chevy block for nothing.

Im not sure how hard your driving your truck but 4 transmissions is alot. Just got with a built 80E. Ive heard they are much stronger in stock form than the 60E. Dont qoute me but thats just what ive read. Either way do whats going to make you happy.

Yeah i think the lemon law is after 4 times it breaks and they have to give you a new truck of the same make and model or something of that nature. Rams are pretty nice...dodge people thinks its Gods gift to man cause it puts out 390...Heard of a reg cab running 14.0 on stock tires, but the quad cabs are a lot heavier. Id stick with your truck, but the dodge would be my second choice.
