It's happened. And as I always call it honestly :rolleyes:, I have to say I am a bit dissapointed in my truck. I've had Dodge vehicles for over 25 years, no problems other than regular maintenece. That is no longer true. My transmission is SHOT :shocked: and at only 26,000 miles. That just SHOULD NOT happern. :angry: Only good news is it's under warranty, and that it happened before I head to Canada in a couple weeks. So Justin - if your reading this - I can offer you a PACKAGE DEAL. :wink: OH, I forgot the MINOR problem that was also discovered (tranmission has my mind occupied), the power steering has a leak, the cooling tube has a pin hole in it, didn't notice that either as it only leaks when the engine is on and it's always in the yard, so no puddle was seen. I shoulda bought a new one last month when I was thinking about it. :undecided:

only 26k!?!? wow, what are you doing to this thing? lol.
glad your covered under warranty.
...and that is why they are failing in business...
dodge= shit trannys
ford= shit engine
chevy= shit suspension
trannys in dodges just happen, unless you get a 5 or 6 speed
Well the word I now have is that late '04 & early '05 tranny's that were mated to the HEMI's, were built with a bad batch of clutches (maybe they were just too week for the HEMI's massive power :grin:) . That is apparently my problem. The clutches were slipping, and first gear was gone, and the others were not far behind. I'm lucky I guess, my brother-in-law is a Chrylser Master Tech and will be sure my transmission is better than when it was new :undecided: when I get it back.
bruce,
if it doesn't work out, my bronco will be for sale soon.
has a brand new tranny.
:grin:
All the $$$$ you've sunk into that junkco and now you want to unload it? Here's a tip - PART IT OUT, you'll make twice as much as selling it in one piece...... It's still in one piece, isn't it? :rolleyes: :grin: :grin: :grin:
I hear Chigger's in the market for used PROFESSIONAL GRADE equipment, and Pillager probably has a dollar burning a hole in his pocket.
Yo Chigger, while I'm thinking of you - I have a really nice Kistler LTA - used to be a one peice, now converted to two-piece rod that I can let you have cheap :cry:.

JJ, May be selling the ford f - 150. Champion and some cash will cover the bill. 2002 f-150. Let me know.

Stupidity. Too many rods on the deck + an open rod locker (trying to get some OFF the deck) + a slight distraction + wind = tears and a string of explitives.
Boogieman,
Sorry to hear about your loss. I am always sad to hear about a broken Kistler.
You know, an ugly stick would have held up better. :evil:
You're mean pal, just plain mean. I'm in mourning over the loss of a cherished material object who's demise is all my fault - and you make jokes. Tacky. An UGLY STICK, yikes dude, such blasphemy. You could have at least said LOOMIS, I could have gotten a replacement for $50 even it was my own stupid fault. :rolleyes:
So Doc has single handedly driven up the cost of a replacement to $50, huh?
I don't know. :undecided: I pulled the $50 out of the hat. :shocked: I have little knowledge of the Loomis guarantee as I haven't had to use it, but your observation could have a basis in truth :rolleyes: if it really is $50. I probably should have VERIFIED the replacement cost with a reliable source with FIRSTHAND KNOWLEDGE, like Doc, but I didn't. :sad: So flog me if you will for being less than accurate in my comment, I took a little LIBERAL license. :evil:
