    Shifting poorly and bad shudder

    mine was doing the same thing! I found a cooler line that was crushed and not flowing much. I replaced the cooler line and added a 20K transmission cooler and never had a problem after that. I would look for that and a good filter kit and some new fluid never hurts.

    Should I buy it or not?

    put the correct rims on it and she is a keeper if she runs and drives. The weak point is the High Reverse in the trans. Never use high range reverse.

    Plowzilla

    I have a feeling that mount wont look that nice too long. You might want to put some more back bracing. As is, the weight of a deuce and if that plow hits something hard its going to fold that up in to a crumpled pop can formation.

    LDT-465-1C vs LDS-465 Multifuels

    The T is not for turbo. Its the kind of block. The T blocks take a different torque on the head bolts.
