Default R.P.M. has done it again...

Drove up to RPM yesterday AM and had them swapout my 4L60.

Everyone there was was very approachable and friendly. These are the kind of guys I would hangout with.

Wes had my car on the lift and cradle out in 21 minutes. I knew it was going to be a good day at that point. He started the swap at 8:21 and finished at 10:45. That is amazing to me. The process was very methodical.

We all went to lunch at Monty's after the install. Outstanding BBQ Bacon Cheese Burgers...

Thanks RPM for an awesome day...

Here are a few pics from the trip.


The RPM RatRod.


Cradle out.

Holy crap, looks like open heart surgery. I would have been throwing up my lunch after that, LOL!

Wes did the swap on my rear a few weeks ago! It is amazing how quickly this job can be done with the right knowledge, method & tools!
He made it look very easy!
