Ha Ha. I am not surprised with Wagler. It can be difficult just to get regular parts from them if they are not in stock.

Wasn't planning on buying wheels/tires yet, these popped up set of 5 with BFG AT 315/70/17 with 80-90% tread left got them for 450.00 including caps. The think 1 or 2 are starting to bubble..

All 5 tires are dated mid 2007, only tire without any dry rot is the spare

The rims look clean from here.
Few bubbles in the chrome not much, definitely some of the cleaner stuff on the truck🫣😂
maybe at a later date get them stripped and paint black somehow
Just shot an email off to vision wheel.
They have a 17*9 steel rated for 3650.. see if they'll make a 17*9 with 6"BS or how close they'll do it.

Ah, ok. I couldn't give a set of 1500 factory chrome 20inch wheels away in that shape. The second set I just kept the caps. These people think everything is free and expect brand new. I almost took them to the wheel shop to have the tires pulled so I could scrap them. I didn't even waste my time with the seats I just took a knife to them and tossed them in the trash bin.

Anymore it's not worth the agrivation.

I have a brand new cold air intake kit from Airaid with Carb approval for a 1500 gasser. All I get is $100-150 offers from these clowns....

I send them links to that cheap ebay garbage with no CARB approval and say here you go.

I've been watching H2 8 lugs for almost a year now, most are sets of 4 going for 1.5-2x what I paid without tires, new these wheels are ~230ea.
He said some dozen people were nit picking them when I asked "take 450? And can I pick them up tonight?" Sold😂

I'd be doing the same thing but rare sell anything

Man, built trans prices are all over the place for something that can handle ~650hp.
TC prices are competitive generally run 15-1600 for a triple disc
DHD/MA DIY ~750 kits run 15-1800 pending core and VB build

Both DHD/MA/calibrated power trans minus TC run 5-6k for same HP level

IDK where/who I saw do this for pulling bushing out but man it's nice not having to fight them.
Just a 3/8 bolt flange nut washer and a socket that fits over the bushing

The Goerend kits are about the best bang for buck kinda deal. If all you want are the clutch stacks, call and talk to Dave he'll set you up.

Cheapest way is to buy everything separately. LML pistons and springs on RockAuto aren't bad priced, certain things are cheap through AutoMaxx as well. Buying the individual GPZ plates for c1 / c2 packs are a lot cheaper than places sell the whole kit, and last I bought c2 steels on RockAuto they were like 4 or $5 each, ACDelco packed and had the Allison stamp on them

I'll check them out as well..
Couldn't find my NIB thermostats, the ones I pulled out rubber is pretty hard so got new ones, also found the 3/4" hose version of the 800-409HP is the 800-419HP though it's aluminum vs steel
