Jeep guys!

Jun 26, 2007 4 Replies

I determined that my new (TO ME) free motorhome needs a Chevy-pattern T-400 transmission overhaul last Sat. I have a spare AMC pattern 400 in the shop. I called a friend who builds them (last nite, he was on the Rubi all weekend) and he said he'll build me one in exchange for a Ford truck front Dana 44. My only spare is a right-side drop 44 from a waggy, so I call another friend to see if he has one. He says no, but he has 2 Chevy pattern



400s, and will swap one for installing a new harness in one of his Jeepsters. Done! Now all I have to do is con some young guy with a good back to slide under that motorhome on my dirt driveway. Real jeep guys can never live in apartments.

Hey, the price is right -- worth a gamble on the install!

It's just that easy, huh? No fighting with servo springs or clips that won't come out? I can build one, it's just easier to pay my friend Bob to do it. I did a BMW ZF4HP22 a couple of years ago.
