    Got the trans back in, wasn’t all that bad. Spent about 10 minutes dicking around before it mated up close enough to start the bolts. Threw in the towel once I couldn’t get the last driver side rear plate bolt in. Spent more time trying to get that in than anything else with the whole project.

    So all that’s left is: rear plate, front DS, interior bits, new shifter bushings and oil. But got to wait until oil gets here tomorrow

    That one still has enough parts to be worth something to someone.



    that 97 has peaked my interest. Too
    Bad I do t have anyone lined up to
    Do a buy with. Plus my
    01 has to get done.

    Some pick n pull type place will end up with it probably. They will still make a good amount of money off of it.

    Probably, I’d pay 200.00 just for this 1997 specific ECU to have a spare

    You'll need a business license or broker to bid on that 1997. Anyone go that route? I'm looking at picking up a spare parts rig at some point but just looking at no license required listings.

    Also looks like that 1997 has some rust...
