2000 F250 Auto
between shifts it has started to slip (can watch the rpms go up)
and goinging into overdrive it will do the same thing and sometimes shudder before shifting
no CEL no overdrive light flashing
tried callin' transmisson shops they say i would have to bring it in from them to check it out
but i dont want some home town shop tearin' it apart and charging me for non quailty parts
i hope i can get some help advice from here so if it is convertor or vb related i can order from the big boys and put good parts

thanks

Put Autoenginuity on it and monitor input and output shaft RPM.

[THEDIESELMAN]

[Deputydog]

ATS makes a good tranny too.. Don't recall anyone having issues with them anyway. I'm gonna prolly go with John Wood when the time comes.

 

[THEDIESELMAN]

John Wood is also who I'm going to go and see.

 

[Robyn]

What? Has BTS fallen from grace?

 

[THEDIESELMAN]

No I don't think he has but it is closer for me to go to John Wood and he builds one hell of a trans.

 

[lownslow]

went with the 650hp version

i know i lot of people said bts or john wood
but i wanted to stay as close as i could and this way i am able to give atleast a home town shop (G & J diesel) some business for installation

Read the fine print then. Make sure that they will stand by you and not toss you out because you have mods. I know from reading that JW and BTS don't.

You can have BTS and it is shipped to your local facility or where you wish. I picked mine up and the Fedex Freight shop and brought it to my local shop where the tech installed it for $200 cash.

Bite your tongue.:gun:

No BTS hasn't fallen from grace in the least bit. I have not seen any unhappy JW customers either, and if closer, well then.

Sounds like BTS and JW treat their customers much the same way.

 

[DSALF250]

I love my BTS!

That's gotta hurt. I had to get pulled out of the mud, 1/4" by a Chevy 1500 once. All my truck would do is sit and spin, we used a 6' dog leash to pull me out.
