then again you could always do like I did and pull the auto tranny and swapo in a manual then you wouldnt need the trans shift cable

If I can find one... but I doubt it. I'm getting a transfer case and an auto trans thursday for 100 bucks. Hopefully the guy doesnt sell on me, I need that TC!!!

near saratoga springs ny.. thats the route I am thinking finding good rust free one somewhere- got the passenger side already. Biggest reason I am regretting not going with a chev stepside instead.. parts are ALOT cheaper and more is available

I hate that I only got $2500 for it with only 275000 miles on the odometer. I sold it after buying this (2006 CTD):

Love that I paid 1700 for it.
happy with mileage of 17mpg for a 318 4X4.
love that it is easy to work on!
Hate the cup holder! to small and takes out the left knee of any one who rides shotgun.
Hate the crappy paint job...
