I'd jump over a 10' high pile of Allisons to get to a 5R110. Say what you will about a 6.0, but the automatic trans behind it is far better than anything offered by the competition.

Dude Not the Best Way to start off

That's The HIGHEST PRICE I HAVE EVER SEEN for a HPOP

Guys are rebuilding the Moter for Less than That LOL

If your paying $$4000.00 for a HPOP WHY??

You guys are really harsh when someone makes a negative comment about a 6.0. Don't get your panties in a wad. Seriously, it's like someone pooped on your truck or something. Imagine if Amazon deleted every negative review on their site. How long would you shop there?
