Transmission replacement?

I have no reason to believe my trans. will go out, other than the 114k it has on it and the fact that it is from the “mechanical diode” era. But for some reason I've got this sneaking suspicion that during my Minneapolis Minnesota to Orlando Florida (and back) drive in Sept that something just might…

I’ve read a bit on this forum about Brian’s Truck Service (BTS) rebuilds as well as Factory Tech’s. FT has loads of specifics on there site while BTS has very little. FT comes in right around $3800 w/ 18 month warranty (P&L) while BTS is $3900 w/ 2 year warranty (parts only?).

I’m wondering if any of you have specific experience with either of these options, or can recommend something else. I really want to have all of my ducks in a row so that if something does go wrong the research is already done, and the call amounts to “Do it! Here’s the shipping address.’

I haven't had a personal experience with BTS or FT, but BTS has a great reputaion from others on this site. Go to the 94-99 or the 00-03 diesel forums and seach BTS. IF you live near him the $3900 price includes installation.
