Hey I am new here. my name is mark. I have a 2002 F-250 4x4 crew cab with a 5.4 gas engine and and automatic trans. On my way home today I lost 3rd gear and I was wondering if anyone can recomend any transmission upgrades?

 

I was looking at the Monster Transmission web site. I have never used them does any one no anything about Monster?

 

BTS...Brians Truck Shop. He wants you to try to break it.

 

Before you replace your transmission, maybe you should fix the one you have?

 

What's the difference if he rebuilds the one he has or uses it as a core for a different rebuild?

 

Tell us.

 

I don't know, I was asking redford. He recommended fixing the one in the truck. I don't see the difference between rebuilding that one and replacing it with a different rebuild.

 

I guess there could be something wrong that didn't require a rebuild. Getting into the hypothetical now though.

 

I pull a trailer every day with this truck so I need a bullet proof transmission. I dont want to go back to the factory specs because it will happen again.

 

And I really dont have time to rebuild it I run my own carpentry company so I would rather be able to just put in a new one. Time is $$

 

OK ya'll may have talked me into it a rebuild would save me $2000!! only down side is no warranty and alot more time to do it........but the money saved might be worth it? I'm thinkin.

 

I think I'm gonna go with a new monster tranny. Does anyone have anything to say (good or bad) about monster?

 

what is the price difference between Monster and a BTS?

tons of PSD guys running the BTS trans behind some pretty high powered motors. It's also the trans of choice for quite a few Lightning guys.


I don't understand why, but for some reason the 4r100 trans is a real PITA to rebuild. I don't know how many threads I've read about them being improperly rebuilt by local shops who mess it up

 

If you can swing it, BTS is definitely top notch. But a tad more expensive than most other rebuilds.

 

Thanks I'll check with BTS
