I bought a 700r4 from a company called Monster transmission for my truck. It was like 1200 bucks, when normally built one's cost's around 2400. So I bought it like a fool, and was soon parted from my hard earned dough. The trans lasted about 1500 miles, just a winter driving truck, not a hardcore offroader, up and down the road pretty much. On tear down I found it didn't have most of the "beef" part's it was advertised to have. It was in a weaker car case vs a 4x4 case, the reverse input drum was visibly warped, you normally need a straightedge to tell. And ther converter was full of trash. Now I build my own 700r4's <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />The converter can be made into a higher stall on rebuild by just bending the fins down, that's how they did it back in the day.I would recomend you swap the five speed in and save your dough for the converter you want. But get a quality one, you'll be money ahead in the long run.</blockquote>
