Default 44re OD unit CARNAGE.........

The tranny shop owner has NEVER seen one this messed up. It was so bad that instead of going out and causing the tranny to free spin, it locked up and allowed me to drive it till I could get it in the shop. The housing was the only thing left usable in the OD unit. Take a look............

Didn't you just get this truck?

What were the symptoms/how did this happen?

I think I'm having problems with my OD too
