Message: [QUOTE="Charles, post: 1377800, member: 103"] I don't ever miss that..... I ALWAYS miss that..... EVERY single time I roll off a stoplight and just want to roll on, hear that light, low whistle starting up before it cracks off and what looks like pressurized smoke starts billowing out of the rear wheelwells while the boost gauge sits on the high side of 80 and the speedo hums toward my right foot, then lift, gather the ass back up, stab the button for upshift and with a quick roll-on see if the tires are sticky enough to grab, or if another quick obliteration is in order. When it does finally hook it crushes the passenger's side leafsprings, swings another 10lbs of boost and smashes the seat through your back, standing the ass of the truck upward 3 or 4 inches trying to push the rear axle off the frame. And at only 6800lbs, it's movin on out... I miss being able to move through space that well. Just GET to a point in the distance quickly. And yes, the maintenance is equally intense. Trans is going to pop about every year or two. Not any sort of slipping or anything, just good, good, good then BAM..... nada.... nothing, walking, lol. That's just GONNA happen. Better have a backup vehicle and a trailer with a winch. I actually have a little device that clips up under the frame on a superduty right below the T-case so you can bolt the driveshaft to it and drive a superduty around with no engine/trans in active duty. That way I can get from the trailer into the shop without anybody else. Trans is really the only part I could not solve. It's just going to pop something. [/QUOTE]
