No matter your taste in cars, every gearhead is obligated to rescue or save at least 1 neglected car in his lifetime.

well If I could I would park in the road but that wont work. The truck would be hit or gone by morning and walking up my driveway....No way I live on the side of a mountain. I went up Today putting it in low gear or 1 and no problems. I could do this for a bit but It would be nice to go up in just drive so I defintly want a LS.

Get a factory traction lock LS. It offers smoother operation, is rebuildable, and less expensive than the other options. Its 31 spline by the way.

Texas guy I like the sounds of that. Where is the best place to get one? Do I have to go to a dealer and overpay or is there a part place to get it?
