    Finally got some more recent pics.
    First one is my dad's 06 screw towing my truck to the shop. It looks overloaded, but not, so :flipthebird: to all the haters.
    Next one is it sitting in front of the tranny shop.

    I have a shop holding a 2007 4R75 with 36,000 miles for me. It'll be $1200 with a 1 year warranty that includes parts and up to $600 labor. It's been -15 so I haven't got to drop the trans yet, but I got my gauges and pan on the way.

    So I might end up with a parts truck instead.
    Copart

    Also got my gauges and trans pan in on friday. Waiting for the gauge pod to install the gauges...

    Spent the weekend deciding to let Ford take my transmission out and installing a pair of KC Daylighters behind the grill. Got them wired to come on with High-Beams or independently with a switch in the cab. I'll take some pics eventually....

    the parts truck looks like a good deal, hopefully get the whole truck for less than a tranny!

    Didn't get the truck, it ended up selling for $3100! So I'm getting the used tranny this weekend for $900.
    Backing into the shop...

    only moved it like 20ft with the XL Rab lol

    Side Note, since my truck has been in the shop, i've been working on it!

    1) Fixed my Gotts Mod.

    2) Fabbed up a mount for 2 KC Daylighters (100w) wired to a switch in the cab, and on with Hi-beams
