Morning all. Coffee and assorted other liquids on the coals. Help yourself.
Headed to the tower again today. Truck is still not working, but I got a ride with my mother, and she'll be staying the day, and then we'll go deer hunting tonight.
Took my truck out and worked on it some yesterday. The transmission was a little overfull, so we sucked a little out and tested it a bit. Drove it up a mountain pass and back. Worked fine on the way up, but coming down we were running into the same problems as before. Took it home, ate some dinner, then took it to a shop. The first day they had was Oct. 2, so I guess that's when I'll figure out what's going on. One of the guys there has almost the same truck, and he said it sounds like it's either a sensor in the transmission, or the transmission itself. One will cost me $30, plus about 2 hours labor. The other will cost around $2500. It doesn't seem likely that it's the transmission, since it's a factory reman with 15,000 miles on it, but stranger things have happened.
Anyway, off I go to prepare myself for another day of s**w.
