I need a new 4L65E. Your recommendations and experiences are requested. Do not want to spend more than $3,000. Truck will produce no more than 500WHP.

No issues with FLT here. Not a lot of time on it yet but it has performed flawlessly from the first startup. Excellent service before, during and after the sale. I got the billet output shaft. 5400#'s, ~>450rwhp and torque and 30mph kickdowns to 1st and full stall 4wd launches seemed to warrant it.

FLT with Billet 4WD output. Working well. Not a lot of miles on it yet but a stock 4L60E would have been toast by now.

No need to have experiance with the other companies. Nothing against them, i'm sure they are great as well, but FLT has a great reputation and Chuck is a hell of a guy. They all cost close to the same, plus FLT is a sponsor. It's a no brainer as far as i'm concerned
