Best trannie re-build?

[jordison460]

Hey guys..as you can see im new to the site so thanks for everyones help..First question I have is my 03 f-250 has about 93,000 miles on it. It was never used for mud bogging, or pulling a trailer. It does have an 8'' lift, with 38'' tires on it..so heres the question, ive been told that the transmission will go out in around 30-50,000 miles from now what can i do (other than monitoring gauges, and keeping fluid topped off) to make this one last as long as possible? Oh, and its never been chipped so that helps i guess.

I am wondering cause I am 22 yrs old with a full time job and 2 part time jobs. "Mommy and Daddy" aren't paying for this stuff plus having my own apartment, moneys tight as with a lot of people so I am somebody who really drives this truck carefully and to make it last as long as possible since I am the one paying for all funds which is how it should be. I also am the type that when it does bite the bullet, I want the BEST rebuild possible to last me of course, as long as possible...blah blah blah..i know you all have heard it thousand times...I appreciate the help!

I haven't seen as many broken Wood's trannies as BTS on these forums. There are several guys out there that build a good reliable tranny.

Great! I appreciate the advice. I have always had gas motors and while the principal is still the same, I am finding out how completely customizable these diesels really are and how many options there are...only problem is its addicting as hell (and expensive). Thanks a lot!

John builds a great trans but more $$ for one equal to the BTS and Johns not gona warranty the trans forever either....maybe the reason more broken BTS's is 10x's the trans sold or more HP?? who knows

10 times the amount? Who knows. Sometimes it seems more like a cult following than anything else. I don't see alot of broken Suncoast either.
