Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
Well i made it home with my new DTT heavy duty trans, 91% TC, valve body, and Mag Hytec pan,
The trip out was 3300 miles took 4 days (driving alone).
Pulling the hills and bucking a Strong head wind on the way out i did good to maintain 65 MPH at 2400+ rpm (98 trans and BD converter) average 12 MPG.
I traveled 4650 miles on the way back stopping in Utah for a few days, Pulling hills are now no problem with the new converter 70 MPH up Vail pass at 1950- 2000 rpm EGT's 1150-1200, i actually had to watch my speed on the way home i would often look down and be doing over 80, with the BD converter i needed a strong tail wind or some good down hill to even hit 80.
I would recommend to anyone like myself who was so tired of the auto that you were considering a manual conversion Give Bill at DTT a call this thing hooks up unbelievable, nail the throttle from 65 mph the tack jumps 100rpm maybe then the truck just goes, does'nt even sound like the same truck.
Bill, Shanti, Uncle Vinnie And the crew Where great i watched every step of the rebuild and probably drove them crazy with questions, but every one was answered and explained, definitely a first class operation.
I'd like to thank Bushwhacker and Nascar Mark for coming by to see me while i was there, both trucks spotless and lookin good and mine on the rack with 3300 miles of driving in the rain and covered with road crap i kinda felt bad.
The new disk brakes worked very well no problems.
The 195/75/16 NITTOS worked very well wet and dry and are the quietest tires i've had on the truck and almost no tread wear.

) I averaged 11. 84 with the benefit of not slowing down on most of the hills.
