thank you guys for all your input. so far since i've been on here i was able to install my lift kit, repair my wifes heater on her dakota, align my truck, decide on what tires to get, and the biggest one is the local mechanic told me my tranny was shot, this weekend i did a search on here and found out how to adjust the bands, i did it along with a fluid change and i cant believe it, it works great.
so thank you everyone, you've saved me alot of headache and thousands of $$.

 

Glad to hear that you got the help that you needed. Now you can pass along the info to others...

 

It feels good to do some of your own work knowing all of these people have your back.
