I had Brian@BTS build my tranny a year ago and couldn't be happier. At the time his price was $3400 including a PI converter and he pulled, built and installed it for that price. I do know one thing, regardless of price, you will not find a better transmission for these trucks. It has held up to 600/700+ at the wheels, daily driving, many punishing 10 second runs and still purrs like a kitten.

Not only that, but the diesel guys run them, and while they don't have the horsepower, they have wayyyyyyy more torque, and have to push 7000lb trucks often with very big tires. I would like to know more too!

samiam,

If a transmission rebuilder is not familiar with a MIAB kit or 4R100's in general, he can screw it up royally. You need a Monster Box.

Call me Monday for the deal of the day, and I'm not just talkin crap. I'll have a Monster Box to you in four days or less and you'll have nothing buy praises for it, guaranteed.

All I can say about the BTS tranny I have now had for 15,000 miles with multiple 10 second passes(many 11s and 12s). Many long hauls (Florida and back) and daily driving is that it has never once faultered or givin me any trouble at all.
I feel like I have thrown alot at this tranny and it still drives like factory with the insurance of the built tranny.
I have yet to hear one bad story about BTS trannies.
Would recommend it to anybody.

VINNIE
