I Got a BTS WOW

Well i have to say that Brian and his shop is a top class act. Brian worked all day on my trans explaining everything he was doing and why, hell they even bought me and my brother lunch. Ishowed up at 8 and my trans was on the bench by 10 easy and they get right to work. Anyway once the trans was done holy [censored] this trans is so smooth and storng the harder you are on the trans the better it shifts and harder it pulls and never gets jerky or anything. Brian really put a lot of time and experience into working out all the weaknesses of the 4R100. But Brians and his crew are top notch customer service all the way. And even when i thought it couldnt get any better he gave me and my brother a nice bunch of goodies.

Cool- Did you get a whole new trans, or did they work yours over with upgrades? Like valve body, torque converter, etc?


I'd really like to have them do some work for me in the future as well-

Hey man welcome home. I was thinking of you yesterday because i knew you were going to be at BTS. That's an awesome place in the middle of no where isnt it? You didn't get big oil? Mind asking what you paid, $4660.01?

Welcome to the club! The more you drive your truck, the more you're going to like that trans.

no after talking to brain about big oil he said it wasnt going to fit for me on pmr's and stock injectors and going to stage 1 sticks with big oil on pmrs a bit dangerous, so instead im going to save my money for when i have enough il have brian and cale build me a motor. i want a nice reliable truck and he didnt want me to chance the pmrs. so cale programed a nice chip instead for me. but il tell you after being there al day and seeing those big HP trucks its hard not to open your wallet and max out every CC you can and come homme with a new motor and trans. oh well im happy though for damn sure and the cost out the door with new cooler, trans, and chip right at 5 grand best 5 grand i ever spent on the truck and considering a rebuilt for plus install was going to around 4200 i think its a deal.

Yeah i know the feeling about the spending is so easy once you get there. I almost bought big oil on the spot down there, but good thing i didn't because there was no way i could afford it :X

True that. I saw that. The only thing that stopped you was Brian being out of pumps at the moment. Shoot, you were even thinking they could take a pump off one of the two built motors they had there. You were on the verge of appearing desperate.
