Lost the tranny in the EX

Thinking about ATS or Suncoast. Any others I should think about?

Not tuned? No power mods in sig, so for cost sake I'd suggest the HD 4R100 from Ford.

That trans has been posted and talked about quite a bit in the 7.3L forum.

Are you sure it wasn't stolen? It's hard to lose these things

How many miles did you have on it?

Im at 225k on original tranny on my X but no programmer for last 80k miles because I dont want to kill it towing my trailer.

My F350 gave up the ghost in 2014 and I went with John Woods and of course got a Hydra at that time.

It is a 4R100, even finding one late at night behind a shopping center, in a sketchy neighborhood, laying on the ground, nobody would take it.

Well, maybe there are two guys that would.

Despite all the bad press Ford had about the 6L, they were smart enough to use the 5R110 trans.

Or the HD4R100 with a BTS valve body.

ATS has a stupid amount of loop holes in their warranty and even though Suncoast has been around since the early days of the 7.3, I'd still lean towards BTS.

If you have $5000 to blow and can wait a few weeks, go with BTS

Sam Wyse can probably have a unit to you in a reasonable amount of time, but since he's good at what he does, he's probably backed up.

Therefore, the HD4R100 is a great option if you need it back like yesterday.
