or you could drive there not pay a local shop for r&r and watch the build first hand up close and personal and get the 6.0 cooler installed while youre at it and not have to pay for a core....

A Jasper trans is just a rebuilt, stock type trans. Ok for normal use but if you are going to tow, go with a better trans if you want it to truly last. I had a Jasper in my Suburban since I just used it as a family vehicle and it was fine. It really depends on your use.

I know it is the best trans out there. I just personally couldn't spend that much for a trans.

Good to hear you found something that you feel happy with.
What's the price difference between a J.Wood and a Jasper Rebuilt unit ( or any other tranny ) ?

Ummm,,,, ALOT!! 
But,, I am going more for piece of mind more than anything,, I appreciated John's candor and knowledge of transmissions and what fails and that he addresses them with the correct way to fix things, and I felt better after talking to him than I had all week!! 
I had spoken with a guy from jasper earlier in the week,,, no warm and fuzzies,, he was just a phone answerer guy,,, had no real knowledge of things,,
