[Stoneage_Caddy]

Another note is to look for common failures and the milage they occur . If you know that 80% of front drive devilles blow there trannys at 130k then treat any junk caddy tranny thats around 130k as a blown tranny....It may have had a reman put in there at 125k but unless that can be verifyed dont waste the money .....

Probabasly a bad exaple so i use my story .....
I had an 86 Chrysler Lebaron with the 2.2 turbo ...As some of you know they WILL blow the headgasket around 100k and in turn crack the cylander head . So i went to a u pull before knowing this and snatched a head off a Daytona 2.2 Turbo . Had it fluxed and it was cracked too , in fact every chrysler turbo head i got my hands on was cracked, had to send my barron to the junkyard to be with all the other 100k+ Turbo chryslers as i didnt have the money to buy a new head from chrysler (a 600 dollar "direct connection" head)...A problem i ran into also with the yards is that they dont always know what there doing. I got a head from one and took it home and comapred it to the head that came off the car only to realize the head was off a Non turbo 2.2 , putting that head on the car would have rased the compression ratio to a point i knew it would dentonate (turbo heads had open chambers non turbo had heart chambers)

So always comapre what came off the car with what is going on it , not only are there diffrences between trim levels and engine options but there are even changes mid year on cars exactly like yours.
