My new 3 TC

[WaynesWorld]

Has anyone found out about Daves new triple TC? I had one installed by Goerend Bros. this week!



I can tell you now how great this 3 TC works!!! It is fantastic. Can you tell how well I like it? I highly reccommend it to anyone before they stick all that wasted money in high pressure upgrades.

Anyone who would like to try it , let me know. You won't believe how well it works.

I watched Dave build my 3 TC. This man truly is a artist in a greasy buisness. I enjoyed my time with both Dave & Bob. They always took time to answer all my questions. It was a pleasure to watch Dave personaly tear my trans apart & explain everything as he put it back together. His crew Travis & Nobby made the r&r look easy & professional.



Thanks to the Goerend Brothers & crew for my upgrade in trans & TC knowledge. It was a pleasure visiting with them as well. Oo. Oo. Oo.

I'm glad to see that you like your setup.



I have not had the privlige of meeting Dave in person just several hours on the phone.



I plan on attending their gathering on may 18.



I just called Dave Monday to tell him how well mine peformed at the drag strip.

See you there Adam. So, how well DID it work at the strip? Oo.

 

[HoleshotHolset]

I emailed Dave back and forth for about 2 weeks... . he answered all of my questions and never tried to sell me anything.

I believe he has a really good product and his attention to detail and explanation of it is fantastic.



Go Goerend!

My 3TC

Hello Matt;



I can tell you my 3 TC & Trans are working GREAT! There have been no problems, except My Bride tends to close her eyes more now riding with me. I still can't figure that out. She must not be a dieselholic.

I can't wait till a 5" exhaust goes on to stop the Noise in my right ear. Do you think flow thru or muffless would be better?

If you ever have a chance to talk to Dave or Bob Goerend, it would be time well spent. You can use my name for reference. I guarentee you will not be disappointed with Goerend Bros. work! www.goerend@powerbank.net

Dave won't sell you anything that you don't need.

Waynes world,



It great your TC and trans is working so well. Knowing Dave it certantly doesn't surprise me. He must be one of the nicest and most knowledgable transmission experts anyone will ever meet. I almost went with his triple disc but with the limited mods I'm planing to do I didn't think I needed it. (I'm cheap). Thanks for the post, Dave S.

3 TC

Hello D Showan;



I agree cheap is the way to go. I'll be the first to admit cheap is our way of being responsible to our families.

Your right Dave is terrific. The reason I went with Dave was his brother Bob is thier personality. I would call him just to discuss the cost. I paid just $1100 for the 3 TC the trans mods added a little more. If you can do the work or have someone help you, you can save a couple of $.

I will tell this, if you are trying to make power, putting it to the ground is another challenge. Dave was telling me about 73% is what a normal TC works at. The 3 TC works at 93% & a whole lot less pressure. Think of the wasted power not going to the rear wheels. The 3 TC also uses only 3 lbs. of pressure, compared to high pressure trying to push out in a regular tc, in excess of 100 lbs. Which would you rather have?

If you do the math, The overall cost is cheaper to put power to the ground with a 3 TC. How would you like to put 20% more to the ground that you already have?

I'm sure this months article in our magazine probably explains it better than I can.

I've heard it said "ITS NOT WHAT YOU HAVE, ITS HOW YOU USE IT".



Of course that could be true on a lot of subjects.



Good Luck

Waynes world, I think Dave was trying to demonstrate to you how well the 3TC can hold with only 3 psi of pressure. But in actual use the pressures need to be at least stock and should be above that if you have more power. Check with him he can explain it better than I. Congradulations

3 TC

Back Again D Showan,

I spent the part of the day watching Dave build my 3 TC. I watched him check the converter after it was built. Dave put it in a stand for safety. He installed a fitting in the end of the converter. A air line was attached to the plug whiich is now in the end of the 3 TC. Dave adjusted it to 2 lbs. He put on a torque wrench to see if he could turn the clutches. He struggled but did. Dave boosted the pressure to 3 lbs. Now trying to turn the clutches with over 200lbs of torque on the wrench proved futile.

This is the basis of my thoughts on the 3 lbs. While Dave explained, this is why a 3 TC works so much better. Am I drawing a wrong conclusion? Dave said this is the reason for not needing the high pressure loc kits. I'm not saying the trans pressure just the 3 TC pressure.

I think I'm explaining it right, but then again thats the reason I drive an 18- wheeler & I don't work on transmissions.

[D. Showan]

Waynes world,, I't's my understanding that all the TC's discussed on this site that are commonly used in our trucks use line pressure including Daves. So for example, if your line pressure is 75psi your TC is getting 75psi when in lockup. I think Daves demo was to show you how much better a triple disc can hold torque than a single disc. Both Dave and ATS say that you do not need pressures as high with a triple disc compared to a single disc, but with increased power you should raise them above stock. Please, give him a call.

 

[D. Showan]

Waynes world, I should also say that the increased pressures above stock are not for the 3TC they are to help the other parts of the transmission survive.

3 TC

Hi Again;



Mutual understanding, we have arrived. Thats one of the reasons TDR was created, I hope. We can discuss subjects till we both arrive at the same page. Thanks for the journey.



The question now is " are we having fun now" ?



I think so. Talk to you in person someday.



How do you like my truck?



WAYNES WORLD:-laf

Has anyone driven a Goerend 3TC equipped truck vs. a DTT truck??

I know DTT has a good stator and an overall good TC, but they don't have 3 clutch disks.....

Having a good stator is 50% of the battle with these engine/transmission combinations... .

I smell smoke... . there must be flames ahead.....

Dave has driven one.



I can tell you that it feels really close to the 89 in fluid coupling.



At Full throttle going up a slight incline around 4 percent

when mine locks up i loose about 50-75 rpm, really not noticable.

I'm pushing 416 hp and 912tq si you can see that it does a pretty nice job.

[D. Showan]

Waynes world, I'm glad we got that one worked out. And the answer to your question is--- "Yes we are" . I also hope to meet you, Dave and everyone that uses Goerend Bros. stuff someday. Take care



Holshot holset, This crew doesn't believe in flaming. Is it me or does there also seem to be more civility on all the threads. I for one would like to say," thanks to all"



You guys are starting to make me jealous of the 3tc's

 

[HoleshotHolset]

NICE!

I'll have to check one out if I can get my hands on one...



Matt
