Attn Fellow TDR Friends, Another HUGE Thanks to Bill Kondolay!

[Archive]

I rec'd Bill Kondolay's Valve Body Last week, And Just yesterday I installed it. (Working 12hr Shifts 7/24) All I can Say is WOW!. The Shifts are Nice and Firm now, Also Noted is the Lock up on the Torque Converter, Now when the Torque Converter Locks up, It drops the Engine Rpm RIGHT NOW! Nice and Positive. #ad
Not like Before where the Torque Converter would Sliiiiide into lock up. Seems Like I have More going to the Ground Too!. I cant Wait for His New TC to be Released!. I want one Real Bad!.

Also I need to Hook up the Mystery Switch for 2nd Gear TC Lock-up!...

BTW, When Stock the Valve Body was in Place With the 275hp Injectors and the VA/BD PNP box and BD Pressure Lock, I could Slip the TC when below 1800rpm. So I took the VA Box out for a couple of weeks until I could purchase Bills Valve Body and install it.

Hey Bill, Were's the New TC?, I need a FIX! A Power Fix that is. . #ad


And his Tech Staff is Real Helpful too!. As I had a Couple of Questions for them.

My Line Pressure will be Measured Tomorrow, After Work.

Oh Yeah,One More Thing, My Front Band Stut was Slightly Bent #ad
. Good thing Bill Included a New Heavy duty Band Strut in with his Valve Body #ad
.

I AM STOKED! #ad

Doug.

DieselRam,
The torque convertors are now for sale. I believe they went on sale Wednesday. I ordered mine yesterday and it should be shipped monday. I simply can't wait. I will be truly amazed if my tach drops 750rpms between shifts with an unlocked convertor.

1-800-922-7782 for ordering.

Good luck,
Chris

After driving Bill's truck yesterday, I can say that you will not be dissapointed with this product!

I also took a drive with the transmission guys from the shop in his truck and Frank was constantly saying "Oh, yeah! This is unbelieveable!" The best he's tested!

Bill is heading for Oregon now as we have concluded our two dayer here in the diesel Ram capitol of California. Yesterday Mike's truck got a new TC and valve body and today everybody got to drive it along with Bill's truck. The Ram Runners turned out to listen to some automatic transmission philosophy and techno speak, check out the cutaway TC and floorboard Bill's truck. We are a bit sunburned but I think we will survive. Thanks to Bill K. of course, Arlan and Bill from SoCal, Huff from the dark side, the Ram Runners, San Jose Symbol/Mike for the use of their huge parking lot too. The TC is realll coolll and I like the concept that BK has brought to the table. I'm sure you will be hearing much more about this from now on.

Performance Diesel is proud to be a dealer and supporter of Bill's product. The torque converter is truly a mechanical phenomenom to behold.

Well, I checked the Line PSI of the DTT Valve Body.
In Drive standing Still=80psi. #ad

While Going thru the Gears=100psi. #ad

In OD While Locked up Cruising=130psi. #ad

In OD While Locked up WOT,no Downshift=150psi. #ad

OD Off,3rd gear Locked up WOT,No downshift=150psi. #ad


The 150psi must come from using the BD Pressure Lock. I have not Decided if I should Keep it On or not, Will have to talk to Bill Kondolay on Monday.
Doug.
