You should ship me your tires and wheels hahaha.

Remember, lifted trucks have most likely been beat to hell. But good luck.

okay, whatever.
Hearing you describe your truck... you already have a busted p/u that you can SAS and drop a 22r in.

If so, you might want to change your signature; "Yet its still kicking strong at 240k".

Will it shift to second if you take it manually through all of the gears? The tranny receives an electrical signal that tells it when to shift based off of the throttle position sensor and some other data. It could be something minor to get worked out that won't set you back much. If you don't want to fix the tranny then find someone parting a truck out and do a 5 speed swap. Hell, I'm parting out a 92 5sp and I can get you all of the parts.
