DTT T/C

[BillH]

Just ordered my dtt tc today, have their vb already iunstalled, and talked to John there. What a great person and a great place to deal with. Really anxious to have the tc installed. Next item from them will be the exhaust brake.

I installed Bill K. 's DTT ValveBody but haven't got his TC yet. Actually, I'm very happy with the DTT ValveBody alone, so why should I get his TC? I'm not against it as it's always been in my future plans, however, why should I, if my TC is doing very well with DTT's VB?

Robby,

You just THINK your old TC is ok with just a valve body upgrade. Boy, are you in for a surprise! #ad

romeo, you're gonna love it.

RobbyRam, the TC is the "piece de resistance" to borrow a phrase. DTT's stator is the key as its stall speed is about 1200 rpm lower meaning that it "fully engages" at about 1500 rpm, right where the Cummins starts to pour it on as opposed to 2500-2800 for the stock TC. (check out the pictures at this link http://www.dieseltrans.com/DTTech/torqueconverters.html ) I believe that dyno testing has shown that just the DTT TC will put 25 more HP to the ground on a stock truck. The TC was the last of the BOMB's to go on in my signature, and it truly made as much difference as the DD3 injectors #ad
To put it succintly, you've got to drive someone's truck with one to really appreciate the difference. Go get it #ad

I'm a die hard stick man and will always be. However, I drove Rollcast's truck last week down in Pigeon Forge which has Bill's TC (the livestock one) and VB and all I can say is that it is INCREDIBLE! If I had a play truck or had to have an auto for some reason I would run not walk and buy Bill's stuff. I've never felt and automatic that shifted so good in my life! There will be a lot of manual guys that would be converted by driving one. JMHO

Romeo, I speak as one who has already embraced the dark side #ad

. albeit from a distance of almost 10,000 miles away. That in itself should indicate my confidence in the total DTT approach and attitude towards customer care.

I just completed a coast to coast trip of 8,500 miles, the last 5,500 of which I had my slide-in camper on board. The additional weight was barely noticeable (12,500 lbs on the scales in NJ). Many comparable C-class motorhomes couldn't keep up on the long uphill grades along I-40. The DTT intelligent exhaust brake paid for itself on some very long downgrades also on I-40, the most memorable - #ad
crossing over the Great Smokey Mountains into the Carolinas...

Shifting up and down is demonstrably better and I've said it before and it's worth saying again - this is how they should always leave the factory IMHO.

Acceleration is brisk, and you're right in the Cummins power band, putting more useable bhp through the rear wheels, rather than losing it in the transmission, especially with European diesel prices to consider!!

In my part of the world this is referred to as a "no-brainer". I don't think a translation is required #ad


Go on... . you know it makes sense!!

Appreciate all the comments. Soon as the tc gets here I will be making arrangements for install and will let all know what I think of it.
