Looks like I am going to be going after problem #3, hopefully only step 1 for the solution. How difficult is it to pull one of these trannies? I ask, because I HAVE to have this truck back up and running ASAP and if I can do it myself I may. I might just drop it off at a shop too and have them tear into it... Its my work truck and I'm on call 24/7/365 so this is going to bite me in the ***. I guess thats what I get for working for the only company in the oil field where I put on 6,000+ miles a month and they don't provide a company truck! DAMNIT, I'M SCREWED!!!
