My local Ford dealer lists the HD tranny for $3,300 including tranny fluid and a torque converter - they are also recommending the 6.0L cooler for all trucks!?
Part of me wants to go with the HD Ford unit as I can't put up the $5,000 for a trip to BTS to get one installed and having it built and shipped here/installed is too expensive for me. Kuddos to BTS however as they must have a good unit/service - curently they are book through Mid December!
Does anyone know anything about the HD Ford unit - it terms of what makes it better? How do you increase the stength of an auto tranny? I've got a mesage into the Powerstroke store but haven't received any replies?
Can I put my BTS valve body plate into the new trans without any problems - don't want to injure a new unit!
