Thanks All

Have a guy interested in buying my truck. He wants to pay with a USAA bank check. He has agreed to allow the check to clear but if it's real I don't want to hold him up either. I'm not a military guy and never heard of this bank. Anyone? What is the best way to verify? He has offered his...

Was there another way to liquefy the sludge? could he have used a detergent oil and frequent oil changes to remove that sludge?

First gear really worked to get the whole assembly moving.... You guys know...

This trans is still for sale. The first guy never came through but it's really time to clean out the garage. A few guys asked me about what gears were in there. I took a better photo and counted the gears I thin you guys want to know about. If you need more info let me know. This trans does...
