$7500 for a rebuilt transmission
-If it's a junkyard/salvage/used car parts place offering the engine for $4500 then I bet that the rockers might fail before the warranty expires, or soon after, and then who's paying for the labor and shipping costs, and are they going to try to someone blame you for the failure?
-That's really lame how cruise control downshifts on hills in any vehicle in my opinion, I think it should just disengage CC
-VM isn't in the picture, And Chrysler couldn't care less.
-some of us are restoring these, but they don't go for much with a toasted engine
