91 SP on Ebay

[Scott Forman]

John,

There are many opinions about the DD vs the Cat, some swear by each.
When I was considering an SP before I bought my PT, the advice I got
was not so much about the Cat, but about the ZF tranny. They do not
have the track record of the Allison and I have been told finding a
ZF-certified shop is much harder.

I am sure the SP owners here can offer "first-hand" experience, I am
only passing on info I received from a close friend who owns a large
diesel shop here in Memphis. FWIW
