Tom,
I can't install the tranny myself. My APTS would freak if i had the truck
torn down in the parking lot.
I know i could have bought an aftermerket tranny for less but, what kind of
warranty would i get with it. Most are the standard 12/12. The stealer
wanted 3,350 to install a reman tranny and i don't think they would warranty
it because it's lifted. So i saved 600 buxs, had a heavy duty cooler
installed, and have a lifetime warranty with free towing.
