NP trans are plentiful.
In fact , because of fuel costing so much it might be cheaper just to buy another truck that runs.
what gives you the idea that it doesnt?? this truck is my daily driver, plenty of power needs more tho

I have a 79 4x4 with a 400 that has a t-18 and have no complaints at all. Great for highway because of a long 4th gear, and in first gear you really feel the torque, you can even take off with out giving it any gas. So in my opinion great combo for pulling and highway mileage.
