Re: to the @$$hole who sold me my first ty...
where are you in austin? north? theres guys around you that are very knowledgable. Believe me id be lost without a few of them. I can't remember where but one of the locals had their trans rebuilt at a midas or something and used many of the parts the syty tranny guru uses.

Matt (user name 420) on here has a built trans up for grabs for around $1500. Should be able to find his for sale thread.
Welcome aboard. Be sure to keep a lift open at your shop for the Ty... they seem to like them and/or jackstands

Re: to the @$$hole who sold me my first ty...
I paid more for mine, and spent my vacation happily browsing through the local wrecking yard for stuff I figured would break and be impossible to find. Nobody else mentioned it, but pay attention to whatever issues your truck developes. Mine has a few quirks that keep coming back, but it makes me appreciate the good days even more after fixing them constantly. Hang in there, and if you get a chance to attend some kind of SyTy get together, do it! It helps a whole lot to meet everyone and share stories face to face.

Re: to the @$$hole who sold me my first ty...
I'm here in Austin as well... (Curious though as to why it's "sorry-@ss" for you?) Regardless, welcome aboard!
As others alluded, it IS a love-hate relationship that you just entered into w/ your truck. Highs beat the lows though IMO. Not much else like a boosted launch in one of these when they're running right. Lean on this board 1st & 95% of the time you'll get the help you need.
There are quite a few of us local that would be happy to meet up, check out the truck & poss. make you feel better about your purchase. ;-)

Re: to the @$$hole who sold me my first ty...
Damn, it is a good thing you have a lift to help out with any future issues. I used a local guy from Ammco (Rick) on Burnet RD. He built a couple of trannys w/ kits I got from Prime Gears. You could stop by over there & tell him Bruce referred you. He is very honest about what the tranny can hold. I wish I had more time to hang out w/ my local syty buddies but becoming a new father takes up all of my available time.

Exhaust shop in Austin? Damn! You would be my pal if I still lived in San Antonio. Welcome to the fold. Dont fret too much. If the previous owner didn't hose you, your truck would anyway, so just take it like a man. 7000 isnt too bad depending.
