Guess when I order a cam/stall I'll do the right thing and get a DS, I love your truck! I've wanted to get some ck375 reps in black but I rather spend 2k on ^ mods.

tailhousing had a piece broke off right at the end, will I be able to just replace the tail housing or is there a good chance it screwed up the tranny? I'll post pics this evening after I get it back to my shop

Shoot me a pm if you want me to get a new tailshaft housing coming in.

What are the chances the rest of the Tranny is ok? How can I check?

I've been thinking this would be a concern for a while, time to start shopping for some loops and maybe a shaft later.

Only way to be certain is to gut it really, but these things are pretty rugged so if it was me I'd put it back together with the parts you know you need and see how it runs. Thats just me though.
