First I thought, oh F**K, head gasket. Upon closer inspection, i happen to notice trans oil spraying out onto the exhaust, thus creating the white smoke. After running the trans almost out of oil, I am relieved that it's functioning properly now, that theres sufficient oil. I'm actually kinda of dissapointed, I wanted an excuse to throw a 5 speed in hehehehe....
You should have let it run dry then! Shame on you. Only real trucks are manuals!

Checked eBay, craigslist? Maybe if you think you can do it, try pulling one off in a junkyard? Not really sure if that's doable...haven't done that before. I'd sell you mine, but that's only after I drop the 360 in it eventually...as I may want a beefier tranny if it's needed.

Smartass ... Well it looks like its gonna be about $1-150 to ship within the US, so im probably looking at about 200 for delivery to canada. I think I will just try and find one at a local scrapyard.
