It was me that you sent it to... LOL (Shows you how fast I get these
things done...) It did not fit right. It fit in the hole but it seems like
it needed to be larger, did not hit the gears. I found that list of gm
part numbers I sent the list and thought I would ask again. The guy at the
closest dealership was no help, he just said I would have to bring it
there. My truck is 150 miles from there right now and in about twenty
pieces in preparation for paint.
So, it was a long shot question and thanks everyone.
