Bronco Tow rig transmission problems F250

Post by **66Crawler** » Mon Mar 19, 2012 7:16 pm

Not directly bronco 4x4, but with out the big truck the Bronco doesn't get to the trails.

Does anyone have a shop they trust to look at the 4R100 that is in my 99 F250. I went to pick up my Broncos in AZ and had a few issues with the Trans so I had to turn back.

Thanks

Not locally but your best bet is a BTS trans. (Brians truck shop). Im not to sure of any local places to trust. I wouldn't go to ATS.

Rockin s performance is a local BTS installer. Did mine in my 99. Last tranny you'll have to buy

If you can afford it, BTS is the best hands down. Call Rocky at Rockin S at least and see what you can do within your budget:

Thanks guys, I had my truck out with Rocky, good guy but he didn't have a solution. He isn't a transmission guy so he was going to call BTS to see what they thought. Thought I would see if anyone had a Transmission shop they trusted.

In fact, here's a thread already started that may help you:

Their Recommendation to call Elite Diesel is also a good one.

x2 on avoiding ATS. You sound like a level headed, mature individual who actually uses your truck to tow; not smoke people out on the highway and act like a jackass. ATS isn't the shop for you.

And as far as the BTS warranty goes, I've heard that there are a few BTS 4R100s hooked up to 500+ HP drag diesels that have gone through multiple motors without a single broken transmission part. Bottom line: BTS builds THE best 4R100 out there. It will outlast your truck and your motor.

Thanks for the diesel site, I will join but that post was pretty dead on.

If my truck is moving it has a trailer behind it or a camper (followed by a trailer) on it so it gets used. I guess ATS would not be a good choice.

Yes, if you want Local, talk to Elite.

Took it to Elite today. They seem like good people. They did a data log on the spot.

I appreciate the help.

Elite is awesome. You won't be disappointed. I just got some custom tunes on my itsX from them. Runs like raped ape!
