thanks to all you guys that recommended Mike's Transmissions through many different threads. i was totally freaking when the transmission went out in the truck, there is no uglier sight than my DH not being able to pull his boat to go fishing. Took it up there on Monday and Mike called yesterday, it is ready, he was able to fix it without having to replace the whole transmission. While it still costs some bucks was nothing compared to what replacing the transmission would have cost. Thanks to Mike for taking the time to figure it all out without jumping to the easy conclusion of just replacing:hurray::hurray: Gonna go pick up my DH's baby today so she will be waiting for him when he comes in from working out of town.
