Tranny....get full meal or just a snack?

I'm closing in on the 125,000 mark. My TC has slipped a few times. I have been researching all the info here, took some asprin, dug through all the

and actually learned a little.

I am definately going with one of the 2 "big boys". With $ being tight I am going to run this tranny till it dont get me home while I save my $ for a new one.

I am leaning toward the full tranny. Just ship it to me, I put it in and ship my old one back for a core. Most of the threads I read, it seems guys have just done TC/VB or had a shop do the rebuild. I need my truck everyday and this is why I am leaning toward a full tranny swap.

Anyone out there do this?

Chris
