just remembered a guy is suppose to come sat to get my tranny and stuff for $400... then ive got a buddy that wants the brush guard he says if he does deside to get it he will get paid thur... auction ends in 5 days... nobodies bid at $800 starting and buy it now at $1500... but im not to worried as who wants a 2x4 suburban... lol... oh crap... its 2x4... thats not a tranny i can use... but i still could part it out and make my money back on the motor... and buy another trannys elsewhere as TH400's are a dime a dozen...
