Re: Manual transmission fluid

Originally posted by Gro Harlem: 25 for 3qts of redline is a bargain. anything less than 9 per qt is a good price. Lots of ppl never even change their tranny fluid ever, so its kinda lame saying $40 is too much money to spend on the fluid to ensure your tranny won't wear out & shift nicer. IMO ...

Re: Bad Accident - pics added

Stuff on dump-trucks tends to be built very strong and made to take a beating. on the other hand it's harder to fix because it's so beefy.. can't just pull out the dents and slap some bondo on.. so if repairs are needed it might end up costing a bit.
