Lost 3rd and 4th Gear

Well, it was bound to happen. At 40K (just outside of warranty) when i shifted my truck inro reverse there was an approximate delay of about 5 seconds. I took it to the dealership and they said something was leaking in the reverse drum and I was looking at $1k - $2K to fix it. I decided to "let it ride" today, the day after I get the tuck from the dealership, I lose 3rd and 4th gear on the freeway. I've taken the truck to the dealership and they gave me quote of $3K - $4K to install a reman tranny. I took the truck today to the local tranny guru to have him give me quote on rebuilding it with better parts. Since day 1 I've been dissatisfied with this truck and this tranny issue is the final straw. I can't believe a $40K rig that is mostly used on the freeway to and from school is toast at 62K. I guess the moral of the story is to buy the extended warranty for these trucks b/c as far as I'm concerned their a Piece of S*** ,.

Be glad you didn't buy a Dodge. I traded my 12 year old 2500 4x4 in on my '04 SCREW just as it was getting ready to crap it's 3rd transmission! FWIW I'm very happy with my new (kind of) truck.
