Still haven't identified my transmission...

I know less than shinola about diesel engines, transmissions, and drivetrain.

I hoped a vin search would help me identify my transmission (ID plate painted over, and not stamped)

But, vin search pretty much told me what I already knew.

You most likely have either an AT545 or MT643

From everything I've read on here over the last several months, the DT466 and MT643 combo is like the Holy Grail. I'm envious!

It's a great combination. But the DT466(e) or ISC 8.3L with the MD3060 is the holy grail.

I stand corrected. I will henceforth refer to the DT466/MT643 combo as "The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch".
