flexplate
Where can i get a flexplate for my truck.
Went to the dealership to check on price and they want 158.35 plus tax.
I dont really want to go to autozone to get one because i dont want to have to do it again .
Anyone have any ideas on where i may get a good quality flexplate for maybe a cheaper price?

just following up on the broken flexplate.
After i slid the tranny back so i could access the flexplate/flywheel...just looking at it i couldnt tell that it was broken. Even after trying to wiggle it around and bending it back and forth i still couldnt tell it was broken. It was when i removed all the bolts and pulled it off the motor then i saw it....The whole center was cracked all the way around. The only reason that the flexplate and torque convertor were still spinning together was because the breakage wasnt in a complete circle. All the edges were jagged so it kind of stayed locked together. The whole center, with the bolt holes in it, litterely fell out of the rest of the flexplate when i pulled it off.
just thought id let you know
