I want to keep the truck with its 4 speed and with a straight newer 6 (full compression) and need advice if I should grab this tranny now or wait maybe get the engine and tranny together? Any infor about this tranny would be greatly appreciated.
At 300 I'd rebuild mine as long at the gears aren't broken or badly chipped. Its a simple trans to rebuild and part are available still that way you know what you have. I just finished a 1 ton that has a 292, sm420 and a 411 rear and you don't use 1st unless its got a heavy load on it or you need to pull a tree down
