Help me out peeps!
So Big Brown is gouging me for the shipping of my parted out 89 C4-700r4 without converter, they are claiming it at 285 lbs, which I know to be
untrue. However, to contest it, I need published proof of the true weight. Everything I looked at online says around 135, but I need to print it from an official or professional source. Any help would be appreciated!

Have Brown call me. I'll vouch for the 135. With the crate, closer to 150. Been there, done that. I'm sure they will accept my word as spoken truth.

Well, it's been at Pete K.'s since the beginning of the month, so I can't weigh it. It was Pete that alerted me to the backside seduction at the hand of the Brownshirts.

Update: I've submitted documents from General Motors Dealer Support (the biggie), Hughes Performance, Marshall Engine/Trans, Ask.com and our own spec page....so the gauntlet has been thrown, I'll now wait and
see what happens. At this point, I don't care if I make money, I just
don't want to lose any....
