Well, the fun has commenced.
We have a 1994 Suburban. My dad bought it new in 1994 and put about 170k miles on it. We took it as our family truckster at that point around 2000 or so. The original trans got to slipping around 225k miles, so I obtained a used trans from the wrecking yard along with the torque converter. This came out of a wrecked 94 pickup with about 105k miles. It had nice looking fluid and this unit went in and went another 50k miles. This trans quit shifting and only has first, and rev so it was parked.

The truck also exhibited a nasty pull toward the pass side during braking. This is being taken care of with a new(actually a free warranty replacement) caliper and a pair of brake hoses. I went ahead and got a set of ball joints too as the set in there has about 100k miles on em. I'm hoping it can go another 100k. Time will tell.

So, the trans was already out of the truck. This one is the original one so it has about 225k on it.
