Hey guys anyone ever use Hughes Transmissions? Good or Bad?
I see a lot of good reviews and looking to get their XD25-1 (Goes for about 3-4k online but since they are down the street from me they said it cost me about 2k (Wtf is the write up) )kit so I can tow with my mind at ease. My Neighbor has their 4l60e and his only complaint is the hard shifts (wimp). Other than that he said he was surprised to hear when they called him on completion that they custom make every Torque converter to match the engine (I thought that was kinda neat).
Or should I be fine towing right next to the limit of truck with the stock setup? I've done everything else to get up to par (Suspension and bushings/brakes also went through inspection at MVD/DMV at which they gave me 12k tags after the inspection..) So my scare and due to research it shows the transmission was our weak point on these trucks when it came to weight ratings... So I wanted make sure when I tow my fiver it would blow up right out the dealer lot (LOL) or am I being a little too worried?
Here's the long description on the kit:
Extreme Truck/SUV 2WD Trans Pkg Designed for Extreme Towing/ RV Vehicles. SPECIFY GAS or DEISEL Engine. Call for Further Details. Incl: 25-1, 25LXTM-HD or 25LXFM-HD, HP8255 Trans Cooler w/Fan, Deep Alum. Oil Pan, (3) Cases Lucas Sure-Shift.
Just to add, transmission is fine has 114k miles and just want ease of mind. Side note got a tune from Black Bear Performance and what a difference their tunes really do help shifts and everything else.
