Frustrations with my BTS E40D

[ithumpwheniwalk]

Dude. Maybe you should read your post again.

OMFG are you really that dense? Seriously, DONT get the BTS. You won't like it. Obviously you should get a ford reman, and that way you can have your piece of mind.

And for the record, Chvyrkr's post was as clear as day to me. Maybe work on your reading skills?

Let me rephrase his post for you and make it real simple...

Whether your tranny is built for 800hp or 400hp, it gets the best parts that can be put into it. THE SAME FRIGGIN PARTS IN EVERY TRANSMISSION minus how the valve body is set up. You get it yet??

Maybe you need to learn to read. HERE IS WHAT HE POSTED AGAIN. And good job on being douche bags for asking a question. You guys must have all the answers, maybe I can just pm you with all my dumb questions.

And you seem like an ignorant fool.

BTS transmissions have the absolute top of the line hard parts and clutches, in every single one.

If you want an 800 horse transmission, you get those hard parts and clutches, with a valve body set for 800 horse.

If you want a transmission set for stock horsepower, with a lot of heavy towing, you get those hard parts and clutches, with a VB set for heaving towing at stock power.

What's so hard to understand about that?

I read it and it meant the same to me this time as it did last time. Ask a question, don't be a dik or a douche, show some respect and you'll get your answers. Come across as a cock knocker, and you'll be treated as such.

Did you understand what was said now though? That's what people are trying to tell you. All of his transmissions have the same parts minus the valve body which is set up for your application. Do I need to be any politer to you than that? I'd offer you a hug but I'm not gonna travel that far for someone I don't know.

Lemme try again...

nutswingers are strange.
"best parts" is a pretty vague term.


so if BTS will drive to fix their transmissions at OPs house why is OP whining about a 320 mile rounder after an initial 320 mile rounder to buy it? someone is full of it.

I call BS on this, maybe I'm wrong but I doubt that Brian builds an all out trans for a guy that has stock power. It might get all good parts inside and machining might be same. My trans builder (Paul aka: The Punisher) who also builds E4OD/4R100s told me what goes on with building these trans. He showed me parts that get modified/machined for the extra HP. He knows Brian also. A few here run Paul's VBs on their trucks. Yes, the VB are different per application.

A guy towing his trailer around does not need billet hard parts. A billet Intermediate shaft assembly goes for around $1800 alone. Then add a 4 pinion billet planetary housing for $500 and 300M input shaft for $350. Those parts alone cost more than 1/2 the price of the trans.

Who's saying that?

As far as I know Brian is THE ONLY reputable builder that will warranty shafts for any reason without thinking twice

Yawn...

Two people make 4R/E4OD transmissions live at high HP numbers.

One is in VA, one in AR.

Everyone else is on borrowed time.

So... Who the hell is Paul? And why should I give a crap what "The Punisher" (LOL LOL) has to say about these transmissions?

Bonus... I know a handful of people that have broken hard parts in stock transmissions doing nothing more than towing.

Uhhh Beavis, does ford, dodge, chevy, any auto(part) manufacturer/ business come to someones house when something breaks? I think not. His trannys have been proven time and time again, so once again, why question it? And judging from my experience, the man WILL warranty it, no matter what happens. Ford will not do that, plus their warranties expire

 

[lincolnlocker]

this chit gets old! ***!! let the doubters doubt.... ive seen brian build a transmission, so have others... everyone who doubts.. PISS UP A ROPE... every mother ***in part is the same, the ***in valve body is even the same. its just set differently!!

only thing at all different would be an older trans with older shafts.
live life full throttle

I think this is correct as well and it would be just the very high HP trucks that would end up needing those kind of parts.

 

[dmd]

Doesnt matter what you need, it is what you get. With Brian they are all the same, that
is why they are all the same price. You just get a valve body that is drilled different.

So if you have near stock power you will never need another trans. If you sled pull
with 800hp then it will have a VB for that and the trans will last a long time too.

You want to add power, just let Brian know what that is and get a VB set for that. It
is all pretty simple.

There is no Stage I,II,III, IV,V,VI,VII,VIII or what ever BS with Brian.. He builds the
trans all the same, you just get a VB set to what power and application you tell him.

I am not worried about my trans, I worry about the U-joints...

Need an education? Just go watch him build one (or twenty), they will all be the
same except the VB drilling.

For the OP... Yea sucks to drive that distance.. I drive further with a burnt up trans.
TW shifts are very firm....

I have a big smile when I hook up the TT and pull away every time with the BTS, no
worries about cooking this one.

You want to see bins full of Ford input shafts, output shafts, mid shafts, clutch housings,
torque converts, or other stock internal parts? Brian has dumpsters full of them because they
are just waste to him... Go and watch yourself.. He will buy you lunch too Mine was a
Sub Sandwich, they were too busy that day to go out. Was good though.

 

[Tom S]

So you think Brian uses something other then what was originally a stock for input shaft for instance on a rebuild for a stock to 400hp truck? What do you think he uses then?


FYI, I am in no way shape or form knocking Brian. I have been there several times and and spent quite a bit of time with him & know he does great work.

 

[Chvyrkr]

I think that is the case. As I've been told it's only every once in a while that somebody like Mike O or Charles gets a different piece, because they've broken his normal piece.

I could be wrong, but nobody I trust has ever told me so.

That is a good way to put what I am saying.


Now how you stand on the discussion depends on how you define "all the same". Does all mean 100% or say 98% of the transmissions he builds.

 

[TrailerHauler]

The way I see it is if everyone who buys a BTS pays $5,xxx then everyone gets the same internals, stock or 800hp.

I've been more than happy with my BTS at a low power level. I'm also confident that if the day comes where I can put 500+ ponies in front of this transmission, it will hold the power. If it doesn't hold the power guess who's buying whatever parts break, not me.

Couldn't have said it better. I watched brian build my trans too. I now have to worry about the engine not the trans because I know if the trans breaks brian will take care of the it. I have to say its the best money ever spent. I was also asked what power levels I'm at and ahat I do eith the truck before the valve body was ever set up.

or he will borrow a flatbed, load your truck on it, and drive from Denver CO to Lead Hill AR, nonstop, unload your truck as soon as you get there, pull the tranny, find out what broke, fix it, put it back together so that you can get to work on time the next day, and not charge you a red cent. And that being on a weekend while he was supposed to be relaxing with friends on vacation in Colorado after the races.

I wasnt the moron claiming anyone would.

I was just pointing out more nutswinger BS.

there are facts and then there are outlandish claims.
for some reason on the powerstroke forums there can be no facts about 4r100 builds as all you get is nutswingers blocking any factual tech.

Yes, more BS. Stop running your mouth, disbelieving people who own his transmissions (and have watched them built) and have talked to the guy.

Have you called him? Have any of you naysayers asked him about the parts put into his transmissions? Until you can answer yes, I'd rather be known as a nutswinger as opposed to a chit fed troll that vomits at everyone trying to tell him otherwise.
