...more than 2500...
Transmission and parts (shifter, plate, mount, crossmember, bolts, hardware)were more than 2500
; I did get them from a Ford dealer for the warranty, and the parts mgr. made sure I had EVERYTHING I needed; no looking it the misc. nuts, bolts, washers, clips and that bull****... all new
and that the dealership is only 40min. away.
Ill pay for a little piece of mind and wanted everything new
... stabbing that new 26 spline into the new disc was a bit of a pain.
Drove from Lake Charles to New Orleans around 80-85, with a little stop and go in Baton Rouge and got 27mpg with 4.10's. The money saved in gas alone makes the conversion worth the money. High 1st gear; 40mph in first gear with 4.10.
I'm looking forward to see what I get after a week of my 20-30min commute to work in morning traffic... that'll be the true mpg test. Will post that next week.
