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.

PM sent. Did you figure out the motor mount issue?

Believe I may have figured it out, will find out tomorrow whether I can order the factory replacements or I will just machine out some new ones. I sent you back a PM with more information. Also I may be able to reuse the factory V6 mounts by cutting them off the plate, cutting the excess plate off and then tig weld the clam shells back onto the plates as close the the factory location as possible as the V8 mounts would have been. The clam shells are pretty beat up after almost 20 years so new would definately be better in my case.

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.
