BTS TRANS FINALLY!!!

howdy all... its been a while since ive sniffed around here. Ive been saving my nickels, dimes, and scrap for almost 5 yrs so i could buy me a BTS trans. way back the first week in january i made an appt to get my trans done but then broke my ankle. by the middle of march i was recooperating so i made my appt for may 23. started driving down the 21st towing it on our 30' PJ gooseneck. made it down there in 26 hrs just in time for the tornado to hit joplin mo. the next day they started and finished in 8 hrs. its amazing how fast they did it... brian thompson and his crew did a phenominal job. I love my trans and its a fun truck now...If anyone is debating to get one or not...GET ONE

Congrats! Thats the best thing you could have done for your truck especially with your mods. Nice not having to worry about it anymore isnt it? Yeah its a pretty cool experience watching Brian and his crew go to work. Brian and his wife are great.
