Evening guys!

Bowling went well tonight. Thankfully. Last Sunday didn't.

So sucks to be going to work tomorrow with the nice weather, but it could be worse...

That's a bummer. The transmission on my truck is on its last legs but I don't drive it much so I'll see how long it will go. We use the excursion to pull the camper

Well, and E40D is much easier to do too.

Them 5R100's are not cheap. Chris shouldn't have blown it up! J/K Chris...

TSI quoted me 1,400-1,500 if I bring them the transmission.

After talking with Dave I am going to take that pig over to New Brighton Ford for the low power issue and mention to them that I started having issues with the transmission at the same time. He thinks that it may have torn up the transmission being so low on power. Sans that I figure I am looking at between 1,500 and 2,000. This sucks.

Is it worth just going with the used tranny if Ford won't do anything for me?
