First negative post about Goerend Brothers?

[JohnCollins]

Yeah, right! Not from me! I just wanted to let you all know that my 04 2500 4x4 qc (all stock but for MBRP Cool Duals) is now a dream come true to drive. Got the 3d tc and vb, apply lever, servo spring, etc. from Dave last week. Local transmission shop in Raleigh NC (Supreme Auto Service) did the install and did an incredible job. I had them dismantle the whole thing and look for signs of wear (truck only has 29k but I wanted to be sure). Not even my rear thrust washer was worn, but they installed the improved washers anyway at my request. I drove it for the first time this morning and was delighted with the firm, positive shifts and the much improved power transfer. I could not be any happier with this than I am. Thanks to Dave who was avail for any questions they had during the work. Let me add that if you are wondering whether Dave is all folks say he is, the answer is yes! Also, if you do this mod, you will regret only that you did not do it sooner.

what did it end up costing you for parts and install?

 

[JohnCollins]

Cost

Well, the 3d tc with unlimited mileage/unlimited horsepower warranty from Dave is $1295. The valve body, apply lever, servo spring, thrust washers, seals, etc. came to a total of just under $1900 with shipping to NC. Labor for install was about $600. Dave said if I need a new transmission one day, all I have to do is send him my unit, and he will send out a new rebuilt transmission with NEW 3d tc and vb and just charge me for the rebuilt transmission (2795) minus the cost of the vb and tc (about $1800). So, if mine ever does give it up which is unlikely considering my conservative 8,000 mile per year average, I will be into a new Goerend transmission for about a grand plus install cost. Good to know.
