Mike Smith Transmission - Any good?

[Chopper17]

Hey, my friend had his dodge transmission built for his truck there and likes it but was wondering if anyone else had theirs built by them? They quoted me $4500 installed for a full race rebuild, billet input, TQ and shift kit. I want to make sure this trans will hold 600hp, sled pull, drag race, tow and be my DD for now.

Also this is for my 2000 Ford F250 7.3l

Any help would be great because if im dropping this much money I want it to last. Also Im going to see how much not installed because I can install it myself but I don't know if that would still come with a warranty.

you won't be disappointed, all three of my trucks have his trannys, ive had suncoast and ats. i made just under 600hp in my mega. ive truck pulled, dragged it and pull a 31ft trailer. its by far the best tranny(tc) ive had. my 12v i pulled just about all the truck pulls in 2006, commercial plowed witha sander and still running that tranny today,oh yeah and ran a 12.9

I didn't know a 7.3 could make 600 hp :dunno:

[Chopper17]

Thanks for the input I wanted to see if some had their transmission and was still running good.

Yep 7.3l can make 600hp but it take money lol

they can just have to make the bottom end stronger.dont under estimate the power of a 7.3 :exactly:

[Chopper17]

There are guys making 600hp on stock forged bottom end. It could be done with good tuning. Also you cant have the pmr's in your motor :falldownlaugh:

I've read through a couple threads from Blowby on PSN. i think he's the highest as of now. A couple guys are hittin 550 with a turbo, right tuning, a bigger (or twin) high pressure pumps and fire hoses for injectors. Someone averaged it out to between $8000-$10,000 for it to be reliable.

I would have to say though, if you're gonna run a trans, a BTS is the way to go. great guy, extremely helpful. He talked me through my entire trans swap and i never bought 1 thing from him.

[Chopper17]

Ya I was going to do all the goodies for the powerstroke but after reading a diesel mag and a guy blew his 7.3 with upgraded injectors and minor mods I decided to go with the cummins route. I already sourced most of the swap parts just need the motor now to go with them.

I was going to go with BTS but decided to have a member on here's shop build and it came out wicked good and cant wait to start putting power through it.

im gonna have to go for ride in this beast. before the swap starts.

[Chopper17]

No problem stop by my work one night but I have to wait to get my chip back from Total Diesel Performance for anyone to get a ride in it otherwise the powerjoke is just too embrassing to show in stock form hahha

[DMcpherson]

I cant wait for you to come back with the chip all done and see what it really feels like, Then with a real motor!

[Chopper17]

hahaha I should be getting the chip back next week and when that cummins falls under the hood Im gunna bring it back to after getting the trans controller all set up and see what this truck can really do! Thanks a lot for the work and the transmission shifts awesome!
