You were right something did break. I think a lot of stuff broke in it. I finally had a chance to get under it today and there was transmission fluid all up under there. I found somebody that said they would rebuild it and upgrade it if I brought the transmission to him for 3000. Does that seam like a fair price? Is it possible to remove the transmission without lifting the truck?

what’s gonna be even more fun is that my driveway is a hill. I’m not looking forward to this. When should I flush it? Right before I remove it? How do I flush it? Never done a flush before.

Ive never done a flush myself but I'm sure there are many one here that have, someone will chime in, I'm sure. Good luck with the project.

I assume you intend to continue towing that 15k lb, 40+ ft, trailer. If so, you might consider what upgrades would be needed to do that reliably.
Also, I wouldn't consider either of your tunes / tuners safe going forward, but there are people here that are WAY more knowledgeable on that than I am.

I would recommend doing some searches and maybe even start a new thread about upgrades that would make sense.
