Replace Transmission
I have an opportunity to pick up a built transmission (stage 3) with only 10k miles on it that came off a mildly tuned truck that dropped a lifter. Price is well below new, below the price of a standard Ford reman. I have 180k on my stock transmission and have no signs of issues. I plan on keeping the truck for a very long time so I'm considering making the investment in replacing it now with this transmission. The transmission builder will go through it and "refresh" it to make sure there are no issues. Opinions would be appreciated based on any experience how long your transmissions have lasted, etc. I don't pull heavy with the truck right now but probably will in the future, but I am tuned.

Buy it and don't look back. These transmissions can stand lack of maintenance and abuse on top of that and keep ticking off shifts.
Still, they can and do break, and you are tuned, so you are in the higher risk group. That's my opinion, but then I'm always up for a good deal...

Sean is probably off working or some nonsense like that - ask him what happened to his trans and the miles on it - he may have run a trans unfriendly tune at one point, can't remember for sure... But it did break, and he did get a Ford reman to replace it... (this was in the first Yeller truck)

And I thought Al Gore said he created the World Wide Web, not the internet...
I think he also figured out the world was warming up and thought he could make a buck saying we are at fault. Like we EVEN have a minuscule chance of doing so...
Where were we...???
