[QUOTE="hotrodpc, post: 3429, member: 27"] If you're looking for spare income, just target RWD trucks and you'd have enough spare work to keep you busy in your garage. 98-05 only would be good too, then you can always branch backwards or forward. I do try to avoid the E transmissions just because I don't have the test equipment to test solenoids or run a scan on a transmission. Many times an E trans can be failing and it's nothing more than a wire broke somewhere or a bad solenoid. It's pretty shitty to charge a guy for a whole trans build when all he might have needed was a $60 - $80 solenoid. Someday, I might be able to acquire the tools needed for 4L60-E's but I don't feel comfy with it right now without being able to test. How will it be if you charge a guy $800-$1200 for a trans rebuild, he installs it and had the exact same problem. Takes it to a shop and finds that one of his wires to the trans was burnt on an exhaust pipe? Last time I bought a 700r4 K case core and an NP208 transfer case, I paid $100 for it. Sold the Tcase for $100 and had the 89 700r4 K case for FREE. In 700r4 cores, collect all the 88-93 cores you can if you want to build OD transmissions. 87's aren't bad either, but avoid the 82-86 cores. Those are the ones notorious for problems and had very few updates and smaller less splined shafts in them. [/QUOTE]
