BTS is an entire transmission replacement, need to know if I can get them in AZ or a John Wood.
Great job bringing Pete's writeup back up again Bitterbeard , he did a great job documenting his install.

I have the exact dates I installed both the DP (First) and the JWVB (second) in my glove box but without going out to confirm exactly, the DP at about 97,000 approx. and the J. Wood VB about 110,000 approx. At 164,000 and Clay hooking me up with a Derale trans cooler installed at about 154,000,(Thanks again Clay) my trans shifts perfectly, hope it stays that way for a looong time, can't even imagine with that expense right now.
