Not A Happy Camper

DADGUMIT SECOND TORQUE CONVERTER AND JUST NOW HAVE 50,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK. But this time it did damage to my tranny to the tune of 1800.00 dollars Dammit man I pull my camper which weighs around 6000lbs about maybe 6 times ayear so i really dont feel i over work my truck. It seem like the truck wasnt shifting just right so i thought i would get it service before i leave on vacation but guess what they tell me my convertor is out and did alot of damage to the tranny to make a long story short the trailer has to sit in the drive way and we will have to stay with friends and take THE CAR. Now please dont get me wrong I love my truck but dammit man the tranny sucks and by the way iam stock havent bought that chip yet.

Are you still covered by the warranty? I know having your vacation ruined isn't much fun, but if it cost out-of-pocket to boot, that would suck!!

If they don't cover it you can drive up here to Arkansas and get the absolute best transmission on earth at Brian's truck shop.
