I would get a reman from the dealership will have a lot better warranty!Some of these dealers can't build crap so they will have less of a chance of screwing something up!

A sunshell, Beast, can be bought for $46.00. Getting it installed is another story. If the trans is shot, break out the credit card. 4WD transmission installs are always extra pricey. You can find rebuilt units from $700 up to $2500 depending on how it is built up.
