New Rtlo 16913a trans

I am about to buy a 16913a trans. This week hopefully. I will be swapping it out with a 15 spd. I would like any advice from anyone who has done a job like this. I was looking at reman 18913a transmissions when I came across a brand new 16913a for less then the rebuilds.

Any opinions on the two would be helpful and any feed back from anyone who has a 16913a. I have a 18913a in one of my other trucks how different is the 16913a? Besides torque rating.

Thanks for any input, I wanted to put this post up before I pulled the trigger on buying the trans.

 

I'll be putting it in a 85 359 pete with a 3406b cat. Pump turned up to a 500. It's sounds like it should be a good fit.

 

Yeah I've been pricing them out new and reman. I found a brand new one for 4200 I think that's an awesome price for a non-reman.

 

You can get them built from eaton but they priced one out at 6500 and up. You just gotta ask around your area and find one that someone has or they buy in bulk. I found one at $4200 and no core charge which is huge cause on a reman they want your core. I'm hoping to sell the one I have and really save some money.

 

Yeah but they want a core charge right ? I found a new one with no core charge.
