Well I am no longer waiting on JEGS to send me my transmission cooler. Here is what has transpired in the last 18 days. I ordered the cooler on-line on 1/12 after the web site lead me to believe that the item was in stock and indicating that it would be shipped the next day. On 1/13, I was notified by e-mail that the item was out of stock but the vendor, B D, had an expected shipping date of 1/20. On 1/24, I called up Customer Service for JEGS and they "called the vendor" and was told that the cooler was still being built and the expected shipping date would now be 1/30. Today, I called the CS for JEGS and they again "called the vendor" and were told that it was still being built. So I decided to cancel my order and call Ken Kraus at Autoworld Conversions who was able to track one down right away and it should be up here the first part of next week. I should have just ordered it from Autoworld to begin with since the owners, Ken and Dawna, as well as their staff have been extremely helpful and willing to help me see this project through. Autoworld is where I bought the cross member, motor mounts, transmission controller, adapter plate, flex plate, starter, down pipe and other miscellaneous parts that go along with this type of conversion.

Here is Autoworld Conversions' internet site address in case anyone is interested. www.cumminsdieselrepowers.com
