250hp is all I would trust it with, seriously.

Up to 300 hp if not abused

Lame, I am thinking about an auto swap in my ZF6 6.4. Was hoping to get by with a stock trans but it doesn't look like that will fly!!! Do you guys know what year trans BTS would want for a core?

Talked to Brian last week and he said the core is part of the trans cost. He said it works out better so the customer does not have to ship a core back in.

So you don't need to send him a trans?

So I assume he would need a trans from a 99-03 4x4 diesel?
Yea, a core is always matched with the part you're buying.
For example you can NOT take an alternator off your 93 cavalier to use a core for a 7.3 alternator. Just as a 4wd, non pto(maybe this part doesnt matter), 4r100 has to be traded if that is what you are asking for.
The core charge is simple. They set the price at 1k$ not.because that is what a trashed case is worth but rather to ensure that everyone but the foolish or people.with another use will return the.core so.they can keep building. You think they wanna go out searching for cores? That could really make things expensive quick.

Do they make the 4r100HD anymore? I was impressed in the couple I have had experience with, but seems like most Ford guys don't know what I am talking about.
I would trust a 4r100HD to 400hp....actually I have seen them make close to 500 (but probably didn't like it at all).
Totally different clutches. Additional.clutches. More splined area on the forward.drum. Triple disc torque.converter(allegedly similar to the 6L's). Heavier duty clutch linings. Different valvebody. Manual low and reverse have double pressure(im assuming they mean holding pressure or perhaps the gearing is.lower and they misspoke).
It seems to my untrained.eyes its built similar to the torqshift in terms of durability. It seems stout.

It is stout... Shifting is still very soft stock. I like it better with DI's tunes now then I did with the Elite tunes...
Need to get some updated tuning on it one of these days.
None the less, its held up good for us.

bts has you send 2 checks. one for the trans price, and one for the core price. the core check never gets cashed unless they dont get your core back.

My 7.3 stock 4R100 is holding 450 but I quote "Its not going to last long" its Already slipping 1-2 has a long pause and it runs at 250 degrees. I'm trying to make this trans last long though babying it most of the time. Did I mention it only has 24,000 miles and its only 2 years old.
