Yep....here we go again.
It wasn't a Ford reman, It was "allegedly" remanned by a company out of Orlando called Consolidated. And all i can find out about them is bad
reviews. But yes, It should have still been a clean case.
I already talked to the credit card co to dispute the charges.

I was under the impression that you did not need to have the chip re-flashed for the JWVB, John and Jody work together. But its a good point you bring up.
I'll have to give Jody a call to confirm. My trans shifts a little hard before and after the JWVB. So maybe?

Chips and tuners raise the line pressure as does VBs and shift kits

Which BTS?

When people are saying "BTS" is the reference to Brian's Truck Stop (Arkansas) or BTS Transmission in CA?

Thats what got me started on tracing the tag numbers. Now I'm hoping he did get a JY trans, and that reman shop didn't gut a HD unit and put in the stock weak parts.
Maybe I can get something out of the first shop, and get this trans rebuilt if infact all of the Ford HD parts are still intact.
Here a pic of the trans that raised an eyebrow about it just coming out of a reman shop. It looks like dirt in the casting holes....I would think that the case would have been hot tanked and super clean, not still dirty.

I agree that he did pull a bait and switch just to get the job done and over with. Please keep the legal stuff out of here though, the powers that be from upon that ( against the guildelines)

Sorry that this fiasco is still around Frank.

Here is a picture of my trans tag. Why is mine numbered different than gunnertoms?

100_1879.jpg picture by tractorfan1 - Photobucket





I found something interesting on these "orange" transmission tags. Anyone shed some light on this?

"99-21-11 - Transmission (4R100) Service Procedure for orange service tagged transmissions

Problem - Selected transmissions have an orange "PRIOR TO REPAIR" tag on the transmission fluid
pan. the orange tag refers to this TSB which includes specific inst to be followed prior to replacement and/or repair

Action - Prior to 12/31/2000, Do not disassemble or repair these orange tagged
4R100 trans perform diagnostic steps, record your findings, and contact FMC"

Would it be because you have 4wd vs his 2wd? Only thing I can come up with.

Frank, Consolidated Rebuilders was at one time the rebuilder that rebuilt most or all of Fords rebuilt parts. I do not know if they are still working with Ford or not. Someone else on here may know. Fords rebuilt parts was packaged with label that stated " Consolidated Rebuilders a Ford Authorized rebuilder "

Edit to up date post, Conslodidated rebuilt parts were sold at Ford Dealer parts departments, they were packaged in green boxes with " Consolidated Rebuilders a Ford Authorized rebuilder " printed on the package.

Interesting...I found quite a few companys named "Consolidated" Not sure if its the same co or not that does transmissions
The one located in Sanford Fl. is supposed to be the company that did the trans.
I still think its a salvage trans.
Thanks for the info Bob, it gives me a glimmer of hope.
See ya in Texas

Frank, It could still be a salvage yard transmission, It may have been a replacement trans that had been put into the truck that is now in a salvage yard. That would explain the dirt on the transmission.

Here was some pricing that was on your op.


Dealer Net Price is $2494.00 with a $1000.00 core deposit.
Suggested Retail is $3325.33.
This price is very competitive with other heavy duty units available in the market today


The suggest retail should be the msrp.

Edit: here are the prices from Ed's site:

6U2Z7V000HRM $3,395.54 $1,000.00 $3,055.98
F81Z7V000HBRM $2,482.21 $1,000.00 $2,233.98


6U2Z7V000HRM IS THE HEAVYDUTY

F81Z7V000HBRM IS REG, I know... I installed this one in my truck 2x4
