Keep Your Diesel Vehicles On the Road--Zach’s Transmission & 4x4

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OVERHAUL UPGADES

Today’s pick-up market would not be the same without the diesel engine. The amount of performance upgrades to increase the amount of power / torque that they produce is unlimited. Simple upgrades like cold-air intake systems, programmers and free-flowing exhaust can push the stock transmission to its limits. Not to mention bigger turbo(s), large tires, and huge towing loads. It only makes since that the transmission needs upgrades to handle the additional torque and towing requirements. We offer 3 different levels of torque handling capacities to the overhaul process. Dodge, Chevrolet /GMC, and Ford all have their own high-failure areas and need different packages to produce the results you are looking for. At Zach’s Transmissions, we specialize in these modifications and can build you a performance transmission to handle these abusive situations.
