Jimmy P Member 7 Member For: 13y 2m 17d Posted 15/01/13 09:28 AM Share Posted 15/01/13 09:28 AM Yeah I think iam gonna ring protrans in the next few days and get a quote for one of their powerglides. I do have a question though... Of all their listed transmissions online only some of the powerglide builds have a weight rating (3100lbs). This probably doesnt matter, but im just curious if their is a weakness or anything associated with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
