PS F350 A/T Transmission Troubles

JeffK5 · 07-19-2011, 08:11 PM

My 4R100 in my 2000 F350 finally took a dump.. 165K miles, 130K+ with 35" tires and stock gears so I guess I had it coming!

Reverse works good, 1-2-D work good, then bad ,then good ...OD is gone. I checked the fluid and it looks OK to a little brown..

I'm looking for recomendations on having the trans rebuilt or exchanged for a reman. locally (150 miles).

Looking for a good strong trans for general use.. not a drag/bombed- out /comp trans costing $5K plus.

I guess I should consider a HD converter while it's out..

Any particular shops or parts people like ...places to stay away from??

I'll being doing the removal an install myself.

Thanks, Jeff

I also ment to note in my first post that I have no codes or warning lights..

I'll go withe the standard BTS. Brians Truck Shop in lead hill Arkansas. Strong stuff and worked well in the trucks I've been in.

Edit: Travis Dykes And 2L motorsports (in NKY) have been powerstroke guys for over a decade.

Andy Parker who is a big big Ford diesel guy said that if you are doing just daily driving and some towing and not pulling or making HUGE power that Ford has an upgraded tranny that works real well. It is much cheaper than the BTS and it comes with a warranty that is honored at all Ford dealerships.

Trans sold through ford?

I talked to both BTS and Tom Wood ... $4900 and $4200 respectively...both are out of my budget.... and completely unnecessary for a mild chipped truck that does light towing and DD .
