Sounds like he made a deal with someone, They loaded and did not include all the parts that were originally to be included. I think complete the 1150 would of been a great deal, Do you have anything in writing what was originally to be included? That may help you....

I have paper work to go with it, but the more I read it, I can see how it can fall through the cracks. The sale reciept states, $1150 plus tax, $150 core charge, complete dropout conversion, 05' DBW, $50 factory under hood fuse panel. It does not state transmission anywhere on the reciept, but that was the hand shake on what a complete dropout package to my request was. For the year model and mileage, it seemed like a steal to me. I am new to this conversion and have read alot of different things on this, I committed by pulling my complete drive train yesterday and went to pick up and new drive train today and only getting half. I may have gotten a great deal even though it is not what I shook on, but with my lack of LS experience I am not sure if this is worth fighting or keeping what I came home with.

Why did you leave without all of your parts?I could see it if a small piece or two got left behind,but a transmission should be real easy to notice...
My main concern would be did you actually get a 5.3 from a 2005. Or maybe a 4.8? Just a lil sketchy that they wouldn't include the trans after shaking on it. I wouldn't have even taken the motor if it wasn't the deal I agreed on. Good luck with whatever you decide to do. I say return it and find another setup or bit the bullet and buy a trans.
Ask them about the transmission. Cant hurt. Make sure you talk to the same person you did the first time. How they handle it will let you know weather you should deal with them ever again
Your right, it can't hurt and after sleeping on it, I feel that I will be able to approach it better than I would have yesterday.Originally Posted by mtcyclon

+1..... I would talk to them ( or the same guy ) calmly about where the rest of the agreed parts disappeared to,I would also ask them if you can look at the truck they pulled everything from an see if they left any "parts" behind, and while you are there snoop around for the factory air box lid or the rad. support cover for the engine size. But I would still approach them about the missing parts, or would have left everything there and picked the stuff up during normal hours another day to dispute the problem... JMO
Good luck with whichever road you choose.... and the money was not a total waste but the trans would have def. sealed the deal for that price!

This is what I am going to attempt. The donor is no longer available cause once gutted and stripped, it goes straight to the crusher. Hopefully we can calmly work this out.

It's not that I did not notice the missing trans, it about the extra 750 the shipping and receiving department wanted to charge me for the trans when I asked where it was. The front office was already closed and that it where the deal was made.
