Welcome! Maybe try the 7.3 aftermarket section.

how in the hell did you manage to mess up a 38r in 2 days? unless quality went downhill for some reason, they can handle some abuse! If it was indeed brand new, maybe look into a warranty of some sort or send it to garret to see if there was a flaw in it for some reason... rebuild for a 38r is around a grand or more... I have absolutely flogged the hell outta mine and its still kicking strong with over 90k miles on it.. mike knows how I drive. im sure he can attest to that...
