it just happens...how much is this trans? sometimes buying a used trans is not a smart idea, but depending on how much cash you got, it may be your only option.

Default Finally

I left to theater with my truck all torn apart in my garage. I had my dad take it to a shop and have them do the swap for me, $1790.00 later I got my truck back and had my dad get it washed. I'm now rolling again.. My truck sure does get up and go a lot faster than a stryker... LOL just sucks I got to leave it again.. I'm going to possibly get a sullivan intake manifold for it too while im back.. any reasons not too?
