little bit of blood from **** int he way but I cant work on anything at all without bleeding. Weather.com says its 88 and humidity makes it feel like 93, felt more like 113 while removing that bastard. Dont have a core to return and doubt I could find one for less than the $32 core charge.
You still did real good though. Those 4x4 4L80-E's aren't that easy to find and when you do they're not cheap.

LKQ has 40% off this weekend. I've never been to our local LKQ, I may go look around this weekend.

BTW, you do know they don't care what you take back for a core right? So if I was to find a deal like that, I'd be taking them an 84 model 700r4 that I'll damn sure never use. I'll keep the valve body out of it and put the pan back on, they don't care. They don't inspect them either.

Oh I know but, I sold the core 700r4 I had for $100, so to find another cheap is difficult, then to factor in the cost of gas in the truck to go get it and drop it off it wont be worth it unless I can get the trans for free.

Far as I know LKQ is full service yard that removes the parts and sells them to you including the labor removal cost.

I know what you mean. It’s hot up there. We’ve got this little tropical storm coming in and stirring up the weather, and everyone’s going crazy over nothing.

I figured maybe some states didn't have DIY yards maybe due to types of insurance policies and liability laws.

The one here is not a DIY, but it wasnt DIY before the LKQ name took over.

You've got some real good scores. I like the Air Cleaner idea too. I've wanted to do it, and figured I'd end up with an aftermarket and never persued it.

Juniors birthday is coming up on Sept 3rd.
He will be 16 and all he wants to do is go to the junkyard.
It should be a half off day at that, so we should be able to find some fun stuff.
I have been teasing him for several years about the junkyard and him needing to be old enough to pass.
Time flies...

I just went through that with my younger daughter. But I had to wait until she turned 18 which was brutal. That's when they start to drift away and want to do other things without Daddy. Luckily she kept her promise and we went and had a good time.

I’m good. Feel like one of the last turds spinning down the bowel to oblivion. :)
