Well I got up at 3:45 this morning to hit the road with a good truck, trailer and a sick truck(bad tranny) to go see Brian at BTS. What a great group of people over there. Everyone there was so nice and Brian and the guys did not care if you stood around and watch and ask questions along the way. Not many places are like that.

They had the tranny out of the truck in 20 minutes(would of taken me hours) and were ready to put it on the bench to start working on it. These guys could do this in their sleep. So lets look at the overall picture here. They start working on mine at 8:10, Brian must have had 15 calls from people needing help, we all went to lunch in town and he still had my transmission rebuilt and back in my truck before 3:00.

As for the tranny and driving it feels really great now as far as the tranny goes but we had to take the chip from DP out because it down shifted really hard. I will have to call Jody tomorrow for this. But all that was no problem as he just had Cal burn me a good tune to drive home with.

If you guys get the chance to do this, dont pass it up. And for all of you out there that are thinking about a DIY type thing on your transmission, there were so many little tweaks that he did that you probably will never get them done if you do it. Lots of experience in those tweaks.

 

Thats great Ted. I plan on doing the same thing when my trans goes.

 

I cant wait to break my transmission again to go see everyone down there, his daughters, umm . lol

 

Congrats on the new tranny! I plan to go to the same place when I start having problems. Not to far for us Okies to drive thankfully.

 

Ted, I think I am next to get this done.

Kris..

 

Gitter done, Rick...

 

Huck lets load up I want one now!! Did you see Kenny's motor out there, if so does it have 550 HP stamped on it?

 

Congrats Ted. Glad you were able to get it done. I'll be there Monday!!

 

I am sure you will enjoy the experience as well. You are doing this the right way by driving your truck down there while the transmission still works, instead of waiting till in completly dies and you have to trailer it or have him ship a transmission to you.

 

Sounds like a great and knowledgeble bunch down there, glad to hear it. I have to weight my opyions, drive down to arkinsas or all the way out to southern Ca., the drive is what weighting me into BRIANS TRUCK SHOP, COULD BE A PLAN..

 

congrats Ted. I will be in the market for a BTS, i am thinking i might get it thru a dealer here iN Spokane. We will see. That would be a lot of coin to drive down there from Washington State.

 

Did you happen to see my engine while you where there? It shouldnt shipped out this week but dont know if it has or not. its the purdy one!

 

There was one really pretty one, but he told me it had a crack in it.....

 

Oh but it was not yours

 

mine had a crack in it....
