Re: "Car" Transmission?
They are not the strongest 1/2 ton transmission but they work. They have been put in Corvettes, Camaros, Vans and Silverados. So I guess technically yes, they are a "car" transmission as the Corvette is a car :lol: . Will it fail when offroading? Perhaps, as can anything else. Add a good tranny cool...

Tire Retread
Picked up a couple rolls of expired tire retread. Used a few wider sections on my snowmobile trailer to ease getting on and off. Some other good uses seem outside stairs for a non slip surface. Anyone think of other uses?
