Hi honey. I love you so much I decided that only the best will do. So I bought you a BTS trans. Hope you like it.

Absolutely. How about giving her a BTS Big Oil System and DI Regulated Return while you are at it. Only the best for her, right?

You know that I always say "Lead me not into temptation for I shall surely find it myself." I just found the temptation in a van turbo. Later bigger sticks

That is true, only the best. Dp arrived today, and tranny, up-pipes next week.

Talked to Brian, wow what a nice person. Somebody who actually listens and understands your needs.

I just spoke to a friend of mine that works for ford, he told me that another tech was going through transmissions left and right and that he had to upgrade to a motorcraft HD trans. Anyone hear of them making a HD trans?

If you are in So Cal I would suggest going with JW. You guys can't go wrong with either one.

I tried e-mailing them I think thursday night but they haven't gotten back to me yet, though I know they wont until probably monday or tuesday. Those transmissions are big money, I was trying to find out if he'd sell me just the parts so I can have my friend rebuild it for me.

I spoke with him about a month ago. I think he is about a one man show now (by choice). I left a voice mail and an email. He called me back, we spoke for almost an hour. Very cool dude. About a week later he answered my email . Seriously, if I was in the area, or that side of the country. I'd do what it takes to make an appointment, show up, watch him build it and drive away that evening with a big stupid grin. Besides, then you can hammer it up the grades back toward SD!

It's almost a 4hr drive that I'm scared to make on a limping transmission. If I can get the parts and build it here I'd be just as happy, if he'll let me do it that way that is.

Spoke with Brian and Patty at BTS yesterday, $4100 then add the core. $5100. Will speak to Patty more on Monday. Brian stated the transmission would be shipped yesterday if he met the 5:00 deadline. If not, shipped Monday morning.
