Gotta watch those junk yard units. Make sure the fluid is nice and red. If it's brown, has metal glitter in it, or even smells burnt, don't waste your time swapping it. I worked in a tranny shop for a few years and sometimes we got junk yard units for cores to rebuild or customers would bring us one to R&R in thier vehicle, and 9 times out of 10, they're junk. If you know what to look for, you can get a good one, though.

as long as you know the people but i wouldnt trust a junkyard im not familiar with cause they'll rip you off good. need a dodge cummin's or even a chevy duramax for some real power. not to raise any disputes but im a chevy guy and dodge is good too just leave ford out of the convo cause it sucks.
