Congrats!!! At what mileage did you have to redo the tranny? I'm assuming you did since almost everyone on the DF already has

Man thats alot of miles I hope my truck lasts that long. I got 115k on it now and plan on keeping it till it dies. Have you had to do any major repairs to it besides the tranny. Is it the original motor?

The motor may have been rebuilt too, I'd have to dig up my paperwork to see.
Besides that, nothing major really.
Brake lines, front end work including just about everything replaced at one time or the other ... Never checked into the plenum problem which seems to plaque just about everyone.

It running like a hog though, won't shift out of 2nd, at about 35 mph it feels like its in low gear and I have to let off the pedal, so somethings wrong with it obviously, its barely drivable right now.

Congrats. Now, let the repairs BEGIN!!!!

I do hope not.

I dread the day mine hits that, and I hope it wont be my DD when it happens, but rather making a pass on the track.
