Best trans build?

[Heavyhaul]

My friend in AZ just lost the forward clutch. He just the basic mods. Chip,exh,intake. 2001 F-350 CCSB. Who is making the best parts for these trans and what mods need to be done? He has 35" tires as well and tows a horse trailer. Thanks.

Is that a Tucson shop?

Have someone haul it to Holtville California to John Wood Automotive.

 

[Heavyhaul]

That would be the ultimate! Its his only ride. I dont think he wants it that far away. Who's parts are people using? Suncoast?

BTS uses his own parts and a PI Stallion converter afaik. John Wood uses his own parts too afaik, not sure what he does for a converter though.

I believe JW uses Torq Shift TCs, but mods them to his own specs

Let me know if he needs any help I'm done here in Tucson.

Just had mine rebuilt.....found a local guy that moved here from CA. He used to build trannies for the offroad racers out there.

He said that one of the common problems with the 4R100 is a failure of the snap ring that holds the center support in place. When it fails the center support moves out of position and you have no drive. IDK but when he pulled mine apart...sure enough the snap ring had failed. Full rebuild with new TC $1900 he even installed the new 6.0 cooler for me.

Now, I don't drag race, sled pull, or blow smoke...just use my truck for a truck, but if I were looking for a bulletproof tranny......there's just too many good reports on the BTS not to consider it the first choice.

Have him get ahold of Strictly Diesel in Phoenix and talk to them about what he's lookin for. John Wood does an awesome job down in Holtville and is way closer than BTS for getting it installed. I have heard good things about the local builder that Newman mentioned earlier in the thread too.

 

[Heavyhaul]

I dont like the mechanical guys at strictly. They didn't do a very good good job on my truck. I like Gary there though. He seems to be a good guy. Truck went to solid shift. Ill let you know how it turnd out

Where in Pheniox is Strictly Diesel located?

If you can afford to spend your $$ twice try another builder..if not its BTS or JW period...
