Good morning Lee! I don't think it ever will.



Good morning Jake! Your gonna get a few miles put on in the next few weeks.

Great to know Troy!! Thanks for posting that! I can cross that one off my list then. I was suspicious and wanted to look at the warranty terms before I bought anything. I don't have to bother now.

I think I've resigned to buying the junkyard transmission and taking the crap shoot. I can put the extra $1500 towards paying off this truck and/or buying a different one in a year. As far as resale, I don't see myself getting the extra $1500 back in resale with a rebuilt.

Yeah if you are gonna sell it in a year I would just go used myself and take the chance.

You don't want that chinese spare time, its probably laced with lead and would break easily and have to throw it away

And our olympic suits. I believe those are laced with lead to slow our athletes down, that's why they are wining more gold medals
