Is $1000 a good deal for a used Allison? It came out of a 2003 8.1L truck... It should work in my 04 dmax, or even as a spare to get built, right?

Not bad at all. Check cooler fittings for size.

Does anyone have anymore info about the cooler fitting size whether they are the same or not? If I checked an 02 with 8.1L would it be the same as this 03 with 8.1L? Or has someone done this before that could shed a bit of light on the subject...

Thanks guys!

Ok, I have been doing some searching... If the cooler fittings are a different size could I just swap bellhousings? And other than that it would be plug and play?
