Rick's BTS Trans

Just got off the phone with Rick (miller_feed). The trans is out and he went to watch them tear it down. He said with Brian and a helper working on it, they had it out in like 15 minutes. It helps that Rick's truck is so clean. We know how he keeps it. I wish I had had the time to wash mine before I had to pull mine.
More news as it comes. I will keep y'all updated as the word arrives.

He had a good trade with his wife, she goes to New York for a vacation, he gets a BTS tranny. Hmmm I wonder if my wife wants to go to New York for a vacation!!

When I took mine to Brian, I timed him... SOLO, 15 minutes truck only lifted by bus jack at rear end. I joked and asked what took so long, and Brian said because Cale didn't give him a hand!! Amazing

No lunch today. Transmission is going in right now! Amazing! It will be ready for a test drive shortly. Rick said it's "crazy" what parts get changed out or modified during the process. He definitely will have a "new" trasnsmission when it's all done. He's going to call back after the test drive and when he's on his way home.
