It belonged to my friend and he's like 5'5 170lbs so it sure as **** wasn't gonna fit me...but when I thought about where I was going, I figured who gives a **** if it fit on me or not!

ARRGGGGGGG...
I don't know if I spend more time working on the truck than I do looking for **** that I need!
I ran around to 5 different Auto parts stores this morning looking for Dextron III ATF and apparently nobody sells/makes it anymore. Talked to FLT and they said it isn't the first time they've heard of this problem so finally I found some Valvoline stuff that seems to be right although it doesn't actually say Dextron III on it.

Then I talked to Dave at Yank and the bolt pattern between the flexplate and the TQ only allows for three bolts...not ideal but ok fine, he doesn't have them so now I'm calling around trying to find Grade 10.9 M10x1.5mm 16mm long bolts that I need and nobody around carries them apparently.

Amount of time spend on the truck = 0
Amount of time spinning my wheels looking for **** = 6 hours so far today!

Wish I had a shop with everything at my disposal like some speed shops have! (I can dream can't I?!?)

Rant over
Peace

Thanks Cody, after the 4th hardware store of the day I called ARP for the third time and this time the guy on the phone knew what I was talking about and said that they did have it so I ordered a set and they should be here thursday...I hope.

You know what I'm gonna type in what you said in a search engine and I bet you $100 that there's one two blocks away and they have a surplus of them... Maybe I should do it just for sanity's sake!

Spoolin,

Surprised you had a hard time finding ATF. I went to car craft here in riverside the other day and got a case (12) of dextron III for 24 dollars.
