    Hey! All you shifty guys...

    well, no I havent priced them, and sounds like from your situation it would be money well spent. I was talking from the average person without those shoulder injuries.

    PowerTorque Reman engines

    yes I am the customer and I knew he was getting a reman and not rebuilding. He didnt consult me where he was getting it from and from a previous post on this thread he bought the cheapest POS he could find. true, the fault is most likely the engine builder, but with them deying the claim who...

    Hey! All you shifty guys...

    wow, thats alot just to make it look better. I know it would probably shift a little smoother and shorter but unless racing i dont see it as a necessary expense for a daily driver anyway.

    SAATR: thank you, finally someone understands what is going on here even without 'all the details'. I have tried to give as many details as possible and even included pics. I am not an idiot and i do know 'technically' the shop doesnt have to cover the labor but as SAATR said lose a customer or...

    SHREKMOOSE: from what I have read they are a reputable trans for stock to mild performnce upgrades. Sas shouldnt have any effect on trans though unless u go crazy on tire size. Just my 2cents

    91 chevy ext. cab 5 speed...will iy hold up?

    did chevy put the same 5speed in 89 trucks as in 91 with 350? I have been wonderin what was in my truck. From a little research I had thought I narrowed it down to a NV3500 in mine. Am I wrong?

    PowerTorque Reman engines

    Tempted: the shop purchased the engine before asking me, my dad owned a large shop many years and he said he would have covered the labor to retain the customer. My dad and I both feel since he didnt ask me about purchasing the engine then he took responsibility for it even if warranty didnt in...

    PowerTorque Reman engines

    DRAGGIN95: this sounds alot like what my engine did but dont have an oil pressure guage to know what it was doing. PowerTorque has no way of diagnosing if the engine was at fault by just taking it apart and looking at it on these unusual cases like ours. they actually need to see and hear it...

    MOBS-- that sounds like it could be a very good possibility. would it still be possible if I drove the truck for almost 2500 miles and then start makin noise? I think I will just pay them the reduced price and move on. never takin it back to them...ever!

    swap 89 dash to 97-99 dash possible?

    so i was thinkin of doin a 6.0 ls swap in my truck. My concern is would it be best to wait to do the dash swap at the same time as the engine swap? with all the wiring issues to figure out with the newer cluster and even newer engine?

    swap 89 dash to 97-99 dash possible?

    thanks guys for your input. If I understand correctly I will need a steering column, dash complete with wiring harness, cluster, hvac and controls and ducts, door panels. am I forgetting anything? would it be easier to just get the complete doors from the 95-99 model because i would like to have...

    swap 89 dash to 97-99 dash possible?

    I have a 1989 rcsb that has seen better days and not been taken care of by many previous owners. I would like to change this dash to a newer model because it would look better and mine is falling apart. I know i would have to change door panels too but i guess one of my concerns is would i have...
