looking forward to a bad air video

That's part of the issue, the parts alone are dang near the cost of a reman unit on the NV5600's, along with the fact you MUST have a 100 ton press to disassemble and reassemble the transmission. That alone makes it not worth messing with in my book.

Are 6BT's that hard to find in Colorado, or are they just high in price?
