    need help - maybe transmission failure

    Of all the years I’ve had this truck, it broke to the point of not driveable twice. Pretty good report of you ask me. The g80 went out 5 years ago - fixed it. The shift band broke 2 weeks before my wedding in ‘11 - fixed it. Everything else has been normal maintenance. Well ahead of factory...

    need help - maybe transmission failure

The other issues are things that I haven’t gotten to for various reasons. Med bills, kid stuff, wife had a ****** stroke - lots of things get in the way of...

I also realized park is not holding the truck in place. However, I think I’m gonna let this go. I have a list of things that are wrong with this...

    Fuel tank PROBLEM need advise/thoughts please gents

    wrong words to use. I know I cant use nuts and bolts. what the idea was to use short but long enough screws to hold the ring down. no there isn't enough material to hold the lock ring down. I have 2 barely there metal tabs remaining. 1 tab is so weak and thin, it already bent up after putting...

    High RPM to shift out of 1st
