Like the truck, but the trannys suck my white ass. If you buy it, either get a warrenty, or keep $2000 on hand for when the tranny goes out. Normally the torque converer goes out, or they are just missing parts from the factory. enjoy.

No problem with my 97. Wheel the crap out of it and only toasted the tranny once (my fault, mud+water=dead tranny) <IMG SRC="smilies/crybaby2.gif" border="0">

If you put anything larger than 33's on it with the auto, install 4.10's at least, 4.56's are the preferred set though. I love my setup. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

Bah My wife has a 99 1500 extra cab and it is a p.o.s. No power and all sorts of little problems. I say pass. They suck.
