I got the o. k. from the higher ups (the wife) for the trany upgrade. I am going to go with DTT. Now the delima is; Do I go with the DDII'S or III'S. Then do I get 89% or 91% TC. I will haul horses with the truck and use it for a daily driver. Right now there is a VA box,and PS boost mod,jardine4",and BHAF. Need some input. Going to have Fred Swanson do the install. Thanks for your help. The only thing I will add later is a Comp box.

I asked the same questions before I jumped in the DTT ring. I hate slipage. Bill at DTT recommended the 89% TC. However I bought the 91% TC and love it. It doesnt bang when I put it in gear and starts pulling right off idle. I dont notice any lag. Had I been able the test drive one with the 93% TC Im thinkin I would have liked that even more.

91% and the DDII's..... the II's are only 20 hp less than the III's---you'll be extremely happy with this combo---chris
 
Greg,

I would strongly recomend that you contact Bill at DTT for his advice. I talked to him and he is VERY aware of the special needs of hauling horses. AND the need for them not to have a rough ride or harsh shifts. (basically the need not to wear your horses out on the trip) He will also point you to a shop that has experience in setting up the transmission for horse hauling.



Something to think about... .

Greg has got the shop nailed down---yes you should talk to Bill, but the 91% tc doesn't shift hard IMHO---guages are a must--don't remember if you got them---... . chris
 
Greg, here is a quote from another post, you might fing it useful.

GLASMITHS,



I think that we have a mix-up here, the TC that he suggested was the 89%. It is the nicest as far as spool up goes and is the one that would give you the best holeshot off the line. The converter is very tight, no comparison to what you have. Strick-9 runs the 89% and he is a very high HP truck. I am going to also look at putting a 89 in my truck. We actually don't offer a livestock TC just a livestock Valve Body.



The Livestock Valve Body still runs very high pressure it just has smoother engagement (doesn't jump in gear as aggressive). It's much nicer for most consumers regardless of age.



Hope this clears up any confusion, the 89 is nothing like what you have, if you look at the signatures of our customers you will find that alot have the 89.

Thanks for your advice guys. I talked to Bill and he said that I would be happier with the 89% TC. Not the answer I was looking for but that is why he is Bill K. I will go with the 89%..... He is the man, ya know? DDII's will work fine for what I will be doing. Thanks again, Greg
 
89 + DD2 = WooHoo !!!!!!!!!

Good all around combination. Controllable smoke and power enough to throw the beast around. When that horse trailers not hooked up look out. :D
