    The insurance company came back with a counter offer. I ended up taking the money and going on my own. I ordered a used tranny that comes with a 3 yr warranty for 1K including shipping. 1yr all inclusive, the final two years are parts. Unlimited mileage. They wouldn't cover the manifolds, turns out they are fine, a few of the bolts on the manifold are broken, which is why it leaks. No warranty there. They are still waiting on the driver's side pull. All said and done, its gonna cost me about 700 out of pocket, which compared to 2 or 3K for a tranny job, I am happy. Looks like it is still gonna be a few weeks. I looked at putting a 4L60 or 80E tranny in. Same housing, diesel indestructible tranny, and it would have been about 700 more. The concern we had was the computer. Don't know if a reflash would work or not with the TOD inputs.
    Oh well, stickin with the 4L30E.

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    Simple. Sell your VX to PB-KID for profit, as he's in need of a replacement VX anyways and recommended the alternate transmission. Then; with PB-KID's money fresh in-hand, buy another VX and start your love affair all over again.

    There would be no profit. I have a ton of money in the truck. That thing is mine until it is totaled in some form or another.

    Well, the tranny should be here wed, sucks I had to do this during the holidays. 3 weeks with no VX It sucks. I should have my truck back next fri or sat pending the cause of the pulling issue. I can't wait, tax return equals new tires and wheels, and front locker.
