John never asked me to send my 48RE back so he could fix it or make it right, just that he would take care of covering the converter swap. After finding the 2 obvious F##f-ups when i pulled pan off, I had my reservations about the quality of the rest of the build. I has a local shop swap out the wrong converter he had sent, and took my chances with the rest. It has worked fairly well, did have Issues at Spring Fling last year but was able to find a local shop that knew the tranny's, and got it repaired quickly. I, too have bought tranny's from him since he left the dealership, and been happy with him. Hell, I've hauled at least 40+ cores out to him, including some diesel stuff I sent out with the 48RE. I'm not worried about liable or repercussions from him, his track record speaks volumes. Jim
