When I was looking at a new trans, I researched suncoast and BTS. Since they were the closest "big names" for transmissions near me at the time.

To get what I needed/wanted It was more expensive to go with Suncoast the BTS back when I was looking. Brian offers the BEST warranty Ive ever seen and his trans are holding up to some high hp trucks. After I spent a while reading around and talking to both of them over the phone, I wanted/needed a BTS. (John Woods is too far for me)

I ended up haveing to get one locally since I needed my truck back on the road ASAP. But if I ever need another one, Im going with BTS or John Woods. In my opion they are the best 4r100 trans option around for the money.

Quite the contrary! I envy your abilities, and will very likely try to replicate them if/when I need a trans. With over 190K, I never know....

I already have the ASTG book, and have read it through twice. I suspect my truck knows this, as I keep it in my center console, and the truck doesn't want to start something with me. Hence, it keeps ticking flawlessly.

I'll be leaning on a couple of the Brothers for advice when this time comes, and you're one of them!

The only thing I need to do is drill out a hole, in the accumulator VB separator plate, for the third gear shift to firm it up a bit more. It's on my current "to do" list.
Roland, Who's rebuild kit did you use when you rebuilt yours? I've seen a 50/50 mix on the Monster Transmission's. I have to assume the bad's were all replacement trans and not their rebuild kits. I've seen kits from Precision, Transtar, Edge Racing Converters, Suncoast, Monster, Transtec, Alto, Transgo, Sonnax...
