Glad to hear that Steve, we have some good members in the Topeka area, I can run up there and move it for you, or one of them can pick it up and put it in safe holding until you are sure it is ready to roll. I could bring it back here, but that would just add 220 more miles to your adventure. I sure wish we would have towed it here to start with. I am glad though that I was not the one to find a smoked transmission. In the back of your mind, you would always wonder if I had done something to it. Glen

So what is the latest
This coming tuesday will be 3 weeks when the truck was droped off, was told to call on tuesday, maybe done wednesday????????? I have heard this before. I just hope the price of $3,600.00 for the trans. does not change. There are so many ways this deal can go bad before i can drive it home.

A good freind let me borrow his small pickup, one he pulls behind his motor home. I made a tow bar for it to work with the hitch on the 2 1/2 ton. I just finished a 24v light bar to be placed on the rear of the little pickup in tow. I have full insurance on the truck and today i got the permant tag for it so i will be ready.
