Blew the tranny... looking for some advice.

I really like my PB lvl2, it shifts flawlessly under extreme driving, and it's perfect to drive around as a DD, you can tell when it shifts but I can still drive around with my grandma in my truck, she only complains about how loud it is, not about how it shifts in to gear nice and firm.

They both make a good trans but the deciding factor for me was PBs 2 year warranty over FLTs 6 month warranty. PB stands behind their product. Im ordering mine in the next couple weeks (still saving the pennies).

with a 3000 stall i think you will probably want to step up to a little steeper gears in a dd. depends on what u have in there now, but def if you throw a cam in later. i had 3.23
which are a useless gear in a truck imo. thats fbody stuff. what gears do you have now? id reccomend the circle d 278mm with stall speed of your choice. im running the 3200 with no issues at all

You're going to want to get the PCM tuned for the converter, or you could get some codes/MIL, and possibly some erratic tcc function. There are other things in the tune that should be adjusted for the shift kit, such as shift speed, and turning off adaptive learning.

Would I be able to get away with a small (2800-3000) stall, and stock tune for a few weeks without risk of serious damage? I just came into enough money to get the trans/converter, just wondering if I should add a tune into the price, too...

I've never modded a truck this much before, I'm hoping the tune/stall/trans along with a cam later on makes me happy for a while. And I pray the rear end holds..

I'm pretty sure that you'll be fine, you may get a check engine light and the shifts may soften up after you drive it a while and the PCM adapts though. Personally, I like to do all of my stuff like that in one shot though, even if it means waiting a little longer.
