I own a 1998 GMC Jimmy. 4.3L, 4x4, 4L60e.

I am looking for a new transmission this summer, and I refuse to settle for a stock rebuild, especially since I have a new engine, after 107,XXX miles. This is not a racing truck, but rather a 4x4 hauler, and is currently used as a DD for work and nursing school

Well, I am looking at comparable units from both FLT and Performabuilt. I know I can't go wrong with either, but I can't decide which one! can anyone help me decide? Here are links to the two trans.

1/2 dozen of one, 6 of the other. Someone steer me one way or the other. Thanks

I can US! lol Na either of us and any sponsor here can do you well

 

HA HA! Yeah, i know, i have read countless threads praising both Performabuilt, and FLT, so I can't go wrong, I guess I'm just trying to decide what is better for my application. thanks!!

 

bumpity bump, what does everyone think?

The FLT level 3 that you have listed is a very nice piece for the money. Lots of new parts. Looks new inside and out. Feel free to give us a call to discuss your situation. Vince

 

My vote will be biased since I have an FLT So, without further ado, I vote
for the FLT. Customer service is top notch and the attention to detail in
their work, parts, and shop all add up to a strong transmission. Check out
the video posts (in this forum) of their shop - very impressive! The dyno
says a lot about what the FLT folks are doing with their money - it means
they're putting their money back into shop tools and machinery to ensure
a better-built tranny is going into your vehicle.

 

I'm still torn, also I'm waiting for a couple big checks from the IRS, and my paycheck from working my entire spring break at the hospital. I'm a nursing student, and an orderly at the county hospital. Anywho, I think I'm leaning towards Performabuilt, but its still up in the air. Thanks for the replies, if anyone has any other reason to go for one than the other. My main reason for choosing p-built is it is made with towing/4x4 in mind, and free shipping to my front door. FLT seems to gear towards only racing applications, which my Jimmy is def. not a racer. anywho, we will see what happens. Thanks for the replies

also, I have to wait till monday to see the vids, i have dialup at home, gotta go to school. For some reason i can't see the vids on photobucket, they just flash/flicker for some reason. Anyone know why? Vince should put them on youtube.
