Built Transmission

[PABowhunter]

I'm planning on getting a trans to hold mid 500 hp levels and I want to do my due diligence in research.

First, I know the majority of guys will recommend BTS, and I agree. My question is, where is the closest BTS dealer to Southeastern PA? Trying to get shipping costs as reasonable as possible.

Second, is there anyone I should consider? Of particular interest are Warren Diesel and Carson Stauffer since they're in PA. I've heard good things about Warren Transmissions but was wondering if there were more guys with first hand experience.

Jesse is right down the road from me and is a stand up guy so i'm sure he would take care of you if anything did happen. The 5r guys seem to like his stuff so its obviously quality product. Not exactly your neighbor if you're in se pa though, that's a long way from us.

 

[PABowhunter]

Yea, I figured its about 5 hours. But, if the product is good and the price is right it might be a option.

Seems like someone in maryland deals brian's stuff, maybe Marty, but im not sure.

Pm OBSWIZ, pretty certain he can have a BTS shipped cheaper than BTS can.

If you need someone to install it for cheap let me know... Middle Bucks County, PA.

Obswiz will get the best price shipped on a bts.

i went right through Brian, my shipping costs were about 350 each way give or take. not a friendly cost but figured id share my experience

wonder what he would charge to install. ive debated on just driving down there from WYO.
I can make it there and back on probably 600 bucks in fuel..

 

[Josh@DirtyDiesels]

have you talked to MPD? Pretty sure they deal BTS and can obviously install too. Depending on where you are in PA, baltimore really isn't a far drive

I had my trans rebuilt local back in 08 and lost a convertor early 2012. Andy warren went thru to check it out (precaution while it was out) and put a convertor in and all is well.

 

[PABowhunter]

I think both Andy and Brian will install the trans for free if you take your truck there. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[04stroker]

Andy is a good guy and builds quality transmissions. I replied to your PM with more info I have run both Andy's and BTS transmissions. I sale Andy's most of the time.

If you don't mind taking a drive up to Connecticut, look up Paul aka: The Punisher.

Got it. Thanks for the response

Is there a big difference in the internal components when it comes to comparing these well known transmission builders?

Yep!!! I had someone build me a trans with the best parts and guess what,it lasted less then two years. So I have a street performer from John wood on the way,talked to John for awhile and he machine lots of his parts because of the small flaws that the ford engineers didn't fix. So you can havethe best parts in your trans but if you don't fix the existing problem all those parts are for nothing.

Brian doesn't charge anything I'm setup with him for mid March. Im not sure about the others. Also the hotel Tina recommended was only like $40 a night!

hmm.. I might be doing that...

 

[PABowhunter]

Yea, my dad is getting a trans in his 450 from Brian in mid march as well. The only reason I know that install is included. Should be the best way to do it. You can test drive it and have him make any necessary changes to the valve body right then and there.
