Do you mean to tell me that you own your own fifth-wheel, AND your own transmission shop, but you're bitching about spending $300-$400 on a cam?

And here I have to budget and save for months to afford my projects...

Hey, can I buy one of those cams you aren't using? I'll give you 50 bucks.

Sounds like a "Win/Win" situation to me...you get a "cheap cam" and he gets funds to put towards his "cheap cam"...

Its a cheap budget transmission shop and I clean everything by hand which is fully disclosed but my highest mile build in a Tahoe went past 75k before I sold it so my work is still quality I go through alot of solvent acetone to clean parts and replace everything the people are willing to pay for. I'm close to a 100 builds with no major issues and I am not charging enough yet but will soon when I get a new location. Thanks for the tips guys
