Short on cash I would grab one from a junkyard and do a rebuild kit on yours when funds improved...it's Russian rullette but better than a truck that woulnt move.

did you just get new tunes also?

What turbo are you using? 175's and a smaller turbo with good tuning you should be ok on a stocker for a while, as long as you don't beat the dog piss out of it. Just grab another stocker somewhere if you're short on cash.

Running a powermax with the 175's no damn junkyards around here have any though

Scour the forums or ebay, someone has to have one.

the first one has 2 very bad feedbacks on the last 2 transactions... one for 5300 dollars. I also believe that guy is a member here and PSN....

I know your pain, I'm going threw the same situation. Just spent 11 g's on mine and the tranny didn't like the added power. I just keep my tuner turned down and try and keep my foot out of the coal igniter till I can afford the new trans. Clear the codes and be nice!
