Morning guys. Tranny is going out on my work truck. Looks like I'll be dropping it this afternoon.

Tim, you're right. A lot of weather related crap is going on right now. I agree with the prayers.

Tranny was rebuilt at 116,000 miles when I bought the truck. It now has 349,000 miles on it. I was told buy the guys that rebuilt it that given the weight of my truck, it likely won't last beyond 100,000 miles. Well, 230,000 miles later, it needs it again.

Pulled the tranny out today and tore it down. There was some major carnage in there. Travis, the guy rebuilding it for me, asked if I was entering it in tractor pulls! Need a lot more parts than a rebuild kit. Will have it all by friday and hopefully back on the road this weekend.
