I just took my 96 PSD into Cottman Trans shop for a free scan and was told that I had metal in the pan. The O/D light started flashing a couple of weeks ago and then stopped. The shop told me $500 to drop the tranny,tear it apart, and rebuild it to give me a good estimate. Sound right? Is Cottman good or is there better here in the Ogden/SLC area of Utah.

 

zman I would like to be able to help but I can't. But sense I live In Brigham City I will keep my eys and ears open for you. Let us know how Cottmans does for you. Good luck.

 

wideopenperformance.net, i think they are around salt lake somewhere. Sorry but i dont know there phone number either. Ive heard lots of good stuff about these guys.

And i just checked, website is down . I'll email one of my buddies that has delt with them and get thier number from him.


later,luke

 

801-233-1111 is Wide Open Performance's number

 

Please don't take your truck to Cottman's, they have no idea how to build a tranny to hold power. I realize they might be the cheapest, however, and I can't stress this enough in regards to tranny stuff, you get what you pay for. A BTS tranny or a Faubion Motorsports tranny is more expensive, however, these tranny's are proven to hold over 500 hp with ease. MADDOG was running an 800 hp cummins in his f-350 and it had a BTS in it that did just fine.

 

Thanks for the response. I had a bad feeling about Cottman's. To pay $500 for them to tear it apart and see what's wrong and do an estimate kind of puts you in a spot to keep having them do the work.

I'll give "Wide Open" a call.
