just be ready for a big bill, not cheap. i recomend selling truck and buying one with manual. next you need to decide 5 or 6 speed. dont let those guys tell you the 6 speed has same gear ratio. I have bolth and the 6 speed is much better towing but anoying in stop and go trafic unles you like shifting,but a 6 speed tows like a semi.

i know where i can get one, but the price on it is about $1200 rebuilt unit. no bellhousing etc. you would be better off finding one closer to save on shipping costs, it will be a lot! for me to ship mine it was about $400
