I think they are trained to sell warrantees. We had a bad experience a few years back with them and do not ever plan to go back.

'99 has the electronically controlled 4L60E. Figure at least $1500 for R&R..more if it needs new torque converter and it probably does. Ford's similar E4OD truck auto costs same or more...

That's probably what I'll wind up doing. /:-\
The Gear Box. They replaced the trans in my 2010 Escape last year with a 100,000 mile warrantied reman unit. It started acting up and they fought the trans company for us to get new one installed for free and apologized for them. They also finished a trans job I started in my brother's Ranger before I killed him because all he did was bitch I was too hard to do, lol.
they have a nice mint green 65 Ford Pickup for sale out front [if it is the place I pass everyday]
Really? Short bed or long? How much?
short bed, step side ... been there at least 2 weeks now
don't know ... I don't want to get disappointed
it looks really clean at 0530 AM @ 40 mph
Spotted it yesterday evening as I passed by on my way home from Dulles. Looked pretty clean and solid at a glance..
I just picked up a pair of 337 Lincoln flathead V-8s with the auto transmissions..a '49 and a '50, both running takeouts. Sure would like to find a "cool" home for at least one of them.
and for picking up the Lincoln motors ... you suck
[how much]
Two engines w/ transmissions, both complete....$450. I jumped on it.
One of them might find a home in a wood baybuilt doryboat...something I've wanted to do for a long time.

You lucky bastard. That's a heck of a deal.
That's why I jumped on it, even though the end uses remain rather vague.
The 239 ci flathead V-8 that I put in a 1969 Bronco was originally going to go in an early Chris Craft runabout...and that gleam is still in my eye.
I'm thinking a rear cockpit design like this Crackerbox but stretched to 18' length.

Truck is now 'in the shop' as far as I know. Dad's best friend came over last week and towed it out of the driveway; not sure when he took it to.....wherever he took it; said he knew a guy; one of those deals. However long it takes for it to return? :shrug: I'm just wondering what the repair bill's gonna look like.
Just sayin'.....

$0 Whew! Picked up the truck last weekend; check book in hand. "G" knows the guy who did the work. They chatted for a bit and before we left, I said something like, 'I need to write you one of these. The two look at me and say, almost in unison, 'Don't worry about it; it's taken care of.' I insisted I pay the man something, but he repeated his previous statement. Somebody is looking out for me.
