the warranty would still be there, i think as long as you didnt jack with the tranny he would still warranty it. and if you did have warranty issues it would be out of your pocket to send it back to get fixed. but i highly doubt that you will have any warranty issues with it.

If you make an appontment with BTS (lead Hill, Arkansas) you can drive down there, stay at the hotel next door, then the next day they will install your tranny, take a test drive, and make any adjustments - then send you on your way. Many folks have done it that way - and with a 2 year unlimited warranty - you can't beat it.

if im not mistaken it would be around 300. you should give brian a call tomorrow he would be able to tell you the ballpark better than i could. and at these fuel prices, i bet it wouldnt cost not much more to have it shipped.

I've actually heard good things about Ford's heavy duty rebuilds. And if you go to a local shop, just make sure they have a good reputation, if you know what you want tell them, they should be able to build it with upgraded hard parts, tugger reprogram kit, triple disc TC, or whatever you want or need.
Of course, I'm sure JW and BTS transmissions are as great as everyone says they are, but it doesn't mean they are the only option.
JMO, good luck, and as always, my flame suit is on.

I just gotta say it, you get a lot of pressure here to go to certain builders, but you don't have to have a BTS or John Woods transmission. If you intend to do extreme towing or horsepower, they are probably a good idea, but for a stock truck that doesn't tow a lot, a stock transmission will do just fine.
