Thank you for the welcome Steve. Well real brief, I am a department manager, process server and I bail people from the gray motel. My truck is a 99.5 F350 crew cab 4x4 long bed with an 8" lift and sound system. Other than that it is completely stock (I need to change that real soon). BTW at Washington and Maple in the city of Montebello diesel is $2.69 a gallon (cash price). Thank again for the invite and the welcome.
Bill, I haven't had any problems with it so far. I got the truck in 2002 with 39,000 miles on it and I now have 120,000. I have put in 2 transmissions in it though. The most recent was in August of 05 and 18,000 miles ago. I don't drive it that much huh?

You sure drove the hell out of it for the first 3 years.....
Hey Steve, As soon as I got I put bigger tires on it so that counts for a bit of the mileage.

let me guess. you didnt change the gearing in the rear end when you put your bigger tires on did ya? change the gearing in the rear and it makes it easier on the trans. just my .02. btw. post ***** so we can see this truck of yours

As for the gears, I have not changed them out. Didn't think that running 36s would make that big of a difference. I don't recall what went wrong with the first trans, but the TC went out the second time while traveling across country.
I don't have any pics at this time. I will need to wait until daylight or have one of the kids do it for me.

Steve, I didn't think so, but what do I know I am just a paper pusher.
