Default its beeen a whiiiiile....

...... because i dont drive her anymore...

Its not road legal, just a mudder now.
Well because of my ford breaking in the fall, and work being crazy i didnt get to drain the water out of the tranny.

It died today, have not fired it up in a while, bang, squeel, thump, you name it the tranny is making the noise, even leaking fluid like a mother******

Made me sad, But as you know ( if you remember) I beat my truck hard, pulling stuck transports, sunk in ponds, you name it, she has done it...

I have a tranny in the garage for it, but the gauge says it has no oil pressure on idle, the body has 445,xxx KM on it, I welded the frame last summer because i broke it, im just not sure its worth it anymore

Thoughts?

oh,a few glory pics

Welcome back! Swap out the tranny and she should be good. As for the oil pressure the sensor/switch is a common problem.

Great pics! Videos?

yeah, I'm not sure about that though.... the sensor isnt THAT old... year or two. But its weird... after its warm the gauge will go to the bottom touch the gas even a little bit. gauge will read. idle down, nodda.... put it in park it will read again :S.... beats me..


as for the vids, naw I don't have any, wish I did though!

put a mechanical gauge on there and see what you really have.
