When you’re upgrading your truck, you are always going to find a weak point. It is fact that everything has an expiration date and that is why it is up to aftermarket companies to provide us with the strongest parts available to allow us to run parts longer without failure. That is where Goerend Transmission Inc. comes in for a ton of truck owners.

In the most rigorous event of the year, the Ultimate Callout Challenge, 30 selected competitors will be forced to put their truck through a living hell for three days to see who’s truck can outdo the others. For drivers like Josh Gruis, of JAGS Pro Truck Shop, he relies on Goerend Transmission parts to keep his truck functioning perfectly in high-stress situations like the Ultimate Callout Challenge.

In an event like this, you have to be supported by some of the best in the business. Luckily for Gruis, his Goerend trans stayed strong the whole weekend.

We spoke with Josh to get his thoughts on his build from Goerend. “I have been into this stuff for a while and I have tried all different options when it comes to transmission parts,” said Gruis. “But, after working with Goerend, I know what brand to trust. I need a transmission with parts that can that can handle 2,000-horsepower and keep putting this 5,700-pound quad-cab Dodge Ram into the eight-second range.”

Gruis placed 10th overall against 29 of the biggest names in the industry. Gruis’ Ram ran a staggering 8.748 in the quarter-mile setting him nicely in 6th place in the drag racing. On the dyno, Gruis placed 9th with a horsepower of 1721.2 and a torque reading of 1984.30 foot-pounds. Lastly, on day three, the sled pull, Gruis finished his weekend off with a 10th place finish with a distance of 268.417-feet.

Whether you’re trying to just keep your daily driven truck reliable, sled pulling on the weekends, or building an all out drag truck, Gorend Transmission has the knowledge and parts to back you up in every situation.
