that bad *** tranny that i was telling you about, it blew up saturday. pulled out of my nieghborhoods and it went for secound which was a high neutral. it made a really loud bang. its still under warranty thoug

 

Ah the good old days where a post would go 10 to 15 pages of crap but it was fun. Yeah that was the good old days. Now most everyone has left from those days.

 

that is EXACTLY what happened to my tranny before i took it in the 2nd time!

 

yeah i know all the people at the shop i take it to, the reall ****ty part is my daily driver 1992 BMW burn't out the fuel pump the other day. they will actually both be back home tomorrow luckly. for the mean time my nieghbor let me borrow my truck. i stopped at the shop today though to figure out the problem and they said that some kind of snap ring fell out and basically 2 things clashed together that wernt supposed to. they told me next time i take it fourwheeling to clean all the **** off the bottom to

 

haha wouldnt that void the warranty?

 

i know all the people in the shop, plus thats kind of what i had it built for and thats what i told them when i had it originally built

 

hey guys just something to chew on. I use 20-50W castrol once the trucks go over 50,000 miles. I put 571,000 on my last blue truck and the guy that has it still drives today. Last time I seen it....it had 620,000.It was a 90 GMC with the 350. Never had the valve covers off or put a timing chain in. Just change oil and tune up as needed they go a long way. I have 189,000 on my 1999 one ton.

 

I would like to go with the heavier oil, but don't want to kill my acceleration or gas mileage. How did it effect this on your truck?
