southern performance is trash I have had him rebuild my transmission 3 times and it never makes it over 12000 miles. I just had to take the one he just built out cause it took a trash on me again at 11486 miles and for what he charges to BUILD a transmission you can order one from FLT and get a better warranty and customer service. IF you take your truck there hope you have another ride it'll take at least 2 weeks and hope and pray it last!

That made me laugh. I had Mike put in my second motor (long story short, got through with some legal mess and it didn't cost me a dime), and I have to say he did a good job. That's coming from someone who does his own stuff, unless someone else is paying for it. Lately, I haven't really been around him, but I've never heard a complaint about his trans. work, until now. He's got 10 second street cars/trucks, running around daily on his work, and they've held up just fine. What kind of transmission do you have? Did he actually "build" it or "re-build" it? Go demand a refund if it's giving you that much trouble--forget fixing it. Also...what color is your truck? Might have seen it up there before.

80E swap em or prepare to whine some more about broke crap later. Quit letting people sell you things they know won't hold. The 60e was built for granspa's truck.
