You are spread thin for sure. At least you have lots of work. Be waiting for pictures.

I tried to send this to you via PM, but your inbox is full.

Hopefully I never need it, but where are you sending the ZF6 out to be rebuilt? As mentioned before, you and I are fairly close to each other so the shop may come in handy one day.

Jason, are you still using XRF replacement parts on the front ends? If so, where do you buy them?

This truck has a trans rebuilt by Welcome to All Star Standard Transmission! in Tampa, FL. I've used them for a few transmission/t-case rebuilds over the years and will probably let them do this one.

Good to know, thanks for the link. Keep us up to date on what your thoughts are when you get the ZF back.

Metallic blue for front cover, accessory brackets and VC's. I have some 'chrome' and metallic black powder too!
