Does Brian have installers on the west coast? or Where in SoCal is this "JW" some of you are talking about??? Going to try and drive it into SoCal this Tuesday (no trailer) but need to find a good west company, or I will just leave it at the house in SoCal and come back out next month and resuce it and put it on a trailer and tow it back to Arkansas to BTS.
Thanks for any help and info in advance.
John Wood is at Holtville, CA near El Centro. John should be able to get your transmission installed on the same day you go down there as long as you schedule ahead with him. I would also have him install a 6.0L trans cooler. Your 44' trailer likely weighs a lot and this cooler upgrade should help keep your temps down.
