Great pics too!

Oh, just for clarification, when AJ says "Pic of Mike and Dan.."

Mike's the good looking guy

Hey Dale, I should be around tomorrow afternoon, but no rush, it'll be a at least two weeks before I make the trek back over to Dans.

Locked Outlook by trying to send Clint all those pictures. I guess I'll shutdown and try tomorrow it's really getting to me. Maybe I did get a heat stroke after all like Mike says.

Mike, I was trying to mist clean the parts at that time, it is much gentler.

I think I found the member... "Ten_Bucks"... he posted on 5/16 saying he'd be willing to help with the tranny, but as I checked his profile to PM him, his last log-in was 5/18...so seems he may not be around FTE anymore.

Another thought on the money saving idea...between the group of us we're all pretty mechanically inclined, and trannies don't take up much space.

I'd be up for a "group-tranny-rebuild-parts-swap" day, if planned correctly we could have all tools and a rebuild manual on hand that we should be able to follow.

Anyone up to giving it a shot?

That would be up to you and Dan - but we are more than willing to pay either the shop Dan found, or his friend to do the swap. With gas and all the running around it is about the same cost.

If you want to do it as a learning experience, I have the rebuild manual from TCI, plus the C6 is well covered in several of my factory shop manuals. I don't think we need any special tools, but my neighbor suggests we use a brake drum off a big truck to hold the tranny upright while we work on it.

The hardest part is a super clean area to work on it.

But what of the time and frustration Dan is feeling? I am sure he is ready to get this truck out of his hair so he can work on his own projects!
