Well looks like I am biting the bullet. I am giving John a call tomorrow. Just hope my trans will hold out until he can get me one or I can get to him. I dont know if my truck would make the 600 mile trip though. I figure I will go with the towmaster trans he offers. I dont plan on making my truck high performance so that one should do.

Terry, it sure isn't chump change but if you do need a trans, its not getting done by a chump, you'll have a trans done by a pro, period. Like I said before, if mine desides to act up, its a BTS or J. Woods tranny for me, I wouldn't give my truck anything less, me and my family don't need any headaches later on down the road.

Terry, if you can make the drive, it is well worth it. John is a great guy who is quick to share his knowledge and experience.
It was a 9 hour drive for me so I got a cheap place to stay the night before my appointment at Johns shop. I had a lot of fun that day hanging around and just picking his brain.

Called John today, placed an order for the towmaster tranny. Also sending my DP back for reflashing so it is tuned to the new tranny. Biting the bullet was not quite so bitter once talking with John and finally placing the order. Actually somewhat of a weight off my shoulders. Now just have to wait about two weeks before it arrives.

Time
In his defence, he is working another tranny now and will be starting mine after. He will be off Thursday and plans to have it shipped by Tues of next week. Then I wait for the shipper to get it here. By then it is about 10 to 12 days counting the weekend. I am not disappointed in this for a time frame.
