Blew my tranny!!!!

Yup i'm so mad i could stick a piece of dynamite in the gas tank and blow it up! My buddy owns a repair shop and i was able to get one for tommorow morning. $2400new 3year/100,000mile warranty. then of course labor. i don't have the tools nor time to do it myself.



Was towing about 10,000 pounds of stone and i noticed it was acting funny got out and tranny fluid was blowin all over the road! It had been shifting weird the last few months but not too bad. But now she's sittin!

Pic of truck in my gallery under my user name.

It wasn't all it was cracked up to be- the interior was stained from, and smelled like cigarette smoke badly.
