Considering a NOS tranny is up to 3x the cost of what you bought that truck for.. you don't want to go that route. A good used one can run you from 1.5 to 2x the price you bought the truck for.Yes 3800 bucks must be the one with the hole in the transNot that I can't replace a trans... just something I do not like doing. ......
for his sake, certainly hope your right.!!!!!!!!!!!!I dont think there is a hole. From looking at a trans and taking the above pic I think its a trick of the light.
130” give or take an inch or 2. Because the back curtain on mine is rolled up it’s sticking out too much to hook the tape on the top of the cover so I had to ballpark it. There are also tread depth considerations (I have Goodyear’s with about 98% tread so taller than something with worn tires).How tall are these with the bows and cargo cover on?
I will know Monday...I dont think there is a hole. From looking at a trans and taking the above pic I think its a trick of the light.
WOW... Maybe maybe not...Pic taken at same angle as the trans one in question.

If the pick up point is within 100 miles from home, sign up with AAA Premium a week minimum before pickup. Then get to the base early, before your arranged pickup time and call AAA and tell them your truck (true, you bought it) won't start (also true) tell them you're sure it's not a jump start issue and you want it towed . Tell them it's on base and their contract driver needs to be familiar with getting past the instant background check .Tell them the tow truck needs to be able to handle a Hummer H1 (sort of true).WOW... Maybe maybe not...
Thanks... !!!!
I'll know Monday
Strikes me as unethical.If the pick up point is within 100 miles from home, sign up with AAA Premium a week minimum before pickup.

Worked for me! I got my M998 home for $125 plus a nice fat tip for the driver considering the extra time he spent getting on base and probably lost a call while fiddling with me so long .
