Trans question

I have a 02 f-350, with Evo & Juice w/ attitude, afe intake, 4" exhaust, & mild shift kit. The truck has 60,000 miles on it, & I tow a 10,000 fifth wheel, a half dozen times a year. My trans is pretty soft, & I feel I am losing a lot of power do to slipping. I know you guys really like BTS transmissions, but I am located in northern utah, & don't know how fiesable it would be to order one & have it installed out here. Any suggestions for a good trans out here in utah? Sorry about the long post.

I take it you are not comfortable installing the tranny yourself.

I'm not comfortable doing one by myself either, but I'm not of the opinion that its a hard thing - most mechanics should be able to swap it out no worries. As far as Utah, couple of thoughts. I don't think the shipping on a BTS would kill you but the one way to know is call if thats what you want.
I keep hearing that Suncoast makes a good HD version, and those are available almost everywhere.

First things first. Find a shop that will install one for you. Then you can go order the trans. I'm sure there are shops that do that

I am not comfortable doing it myself, & it is my daily driver, so time is also an issue.
Thanks for the advise, I will go talk to some local shops.
