He's since moved but when he was at his "old" location I'd stopped by a couple of times to ask about the possibility of him building me a trans. I didn't like his attitude.
My son took him a trans out of a 92 W250 diesel for a rebuild.
He claimed to have known who had been inside this trans before him, because of the color they'd painted it.... did nothing but [censored] about them(I forget who he had said it was) we had to pull it a 2nd time and swap converters since he'd gotten the wrong one from CRT. But the trans itself was alright. I just wish CRTs attitude was better....
I have another guy in mind to try the next time I need a trans built.
I too have since built a couple of my own since getting "the attitude" as described early in this post.
