Good luck getting hold of Dave at Rock On! I haven't been able to contact him for a month. Last time I talked to him he was covered up and thinking of doing shipping sales only. Too much work in rebuilds/installs for him and his son. You might try email.
you wont be disappointed with Danny's dad. he knows his stuff that is for sure :thumb: ..... keep us up on what the culpret is

Anyone used Rowlett Transmissions? Going up now for a quote/evaluation, then Jerry's in the morning.
never heard of em actually.... are you talking about Eagle Transmission on hwy 66??
Dave at Rock-on is a Vet and walks on a prosthetic leg. He's on his feet so much at times it wears a hole in the stump and he has to be off his feet until it heels. I've been up there a couple times and talked to him. He does some nice work but like you said, he's hard to reach by phone most of the time because they're buried with work and they have/had two locations going that he was trying to manage. The Denton location is just Dave and his son. In Grand Prairie or Arlington he has another location where he has his transmission dyno and more guys that build close to stock units. He's spread pretty thin. Getting your transmission built close to home is a great idea because you can always get there a lot quicker if you have questions about how it's performing. Sounds like Jerry might be the way to go if you can afford the repair costs. Since you have 4wd that always adds to the cost of the R&R. Good luck and let us know how it comes out!
Thanks Red.
I just got back from Rowlett Transmission and he drove the truck and said he's 99% sure it's the transfer case - not the clutch packs. He said the chattering/vibration is too far back to be the tranny. Still pricey but hopefully not as much as a tranny rebuild. I'll get a second opinion from Jerry's in the morning.
It sounds like Jerry has a LOT of experience with performance tranny's in general as well as these truck trannys. Is that a correct conclusion?
he drives one of our trucks... 2500 hd.... i think he knows ours pretty damn well :laugh:
he has a bone stock 6.0 2500 HD quad cab...... he can RIP 2nd gear goin down the road if he gets on it..... Danny told me that so dont tell Jerry shhh
Well, Jerry said it looks like my problem (chatter) is the torque converter. The chattering can be stopped simply by tapping the brake and canceling the lock-up clutch. So now I have to hope Fuddle will make things right...
saved a bunch of money on that one
Well that's my dilemma - do I JUST replace the converter? Or since the tranny is out, do I spend even more and have him rebuild what appears to be a tranny in ok working condition but one that may break down the road anyway...
