Monster Box VS BTS

OK ! The Coin of the realm is in the bank, What is your input on the BTS vs Monster box I have heard both good and bad but it looks like the BTS is on top. But before i shell out bucks just what do you think.

I was liking the MB before Jasper took over assembly and waranty. If the BTS VB made my factory tranny shift like it is I cant wait till I need to get the whole setup.

well, as ive heard, they both are similar build, but the warranty on the BTS seems to be the cats meow.
some say its life time though not on paper,
but as most will say, go BTS and never turn back.

I put a MonsterBox in my 97 f350. Three complete failures in 44,000 miles. each time it was under warranty, it also took 2 weeks to a month for each repair. Cash out of pocket and wait for a promised check. never again, I just replaced the truck with an 02 f550 6speed. save yourself time and money. Buy a BTS

My vote is for BTS as well. Doubtful that you'll have any problems with it, but if you do, I can tell you there won't be warranty hassles. Brian is one of the best with customer service that I have ever dealt with.

I agree with JT. I just talked to Brian on the phone and ordered my vb. He explained everthing about the tranny that I needed to know and best of all. He answered his phone and took the time even though I called at closing.

Threads like this is why I'm going to order a BTS in a few months. If you look around and compare transmissions, you won't find a bigger fan base than BTS owners.

I wan't one. It's hard for me to justify the spending before my OE trans pukes, but I still want one. Does the BTS have upgraded Billet Input, Intermediate, and Output shafts?

I do know that he uses a steel housing vs an aluminum one as part of the components. I don't know about the shafts.
