Rebuilt is all you can get. You can get it done by Fraud or save yourself a lot of grief and get one by BTS. Pricey but worth every penny. www.brianstruckshop.com or 870-422-3673

I will agree 110% with the BTS trans. Call Brian up and see what he can do for you. I promise you won't regret it. A BTS trans truly is the last one you'll ever buy. I couldn't be happier with mine.

hey aklim did you put the trans in yourself or did a shop do it. when mine goes im geting a bts and i dont know if it would be cheaper to have it shipped or take the drive from Mukwonago, WI to lead hill

I don't know that much about the BTS trans, but I had a Jasper put in my truck.this trans came with a 3 year 36000 warrenty, a new very large cooler , 1300 rpm stall converter ,and a half way decent price $2400.00 and $2800.00 if you buy the extra warrenty ,I did not . I regularly pull a 345 bob cat mini excavater with my truck and thus far have had no trouble. the shifts are good and firm and the temps have not been over about 175 to 180.

Oh shoot. Here it goes. BTS vs Suncoast vs ....... 
One more thing to keep in mind about BTS is the level of personal service you'll get. I have never ever had anyone treat me with the respect, courtsey, and hospitality that I got with BTS. And remember, I wasn't even paying for the trans.

Neither. I took it to a Fraud Dealership that has little work to do and too many techs. Their techs do more side work than shop work, it seems. The guy wheeled my car in at 1400 hrs and got done at 2000 hrs. Cost me $250.
