Something's burning!!!!

[Justin@DP-Tuner]

It's on the way... Hope to god it ain't the tranny.... Ya I have the money to fix it.... I just really wanted a lift and tires! And I may have gotten screwed, ya I bought it with high mileage... But the guy was a high ranking marine who was with maintenance battalion... Here I am the moron thinking a guy that's been in for 20 wouldn't screw over a guy who just got back from his third combat deployment....
He also told me it hadn't been upgraded ever.... Every time I install something I find old gauge mounting holes and stuff. Guess theres only one way to learn about it... Least I now am beginning to know what to look for next time..

The 3rd party mechanic who checked it out was also "astonished it was in such great condition" - guess he figured he could get my business real soon haha. Glad to see all we fight for equates to nothing when we get back home and deal with those who "support us"

Tho I haven't done much auto work I am very mechanically inclined... Can one buy rebuild kits and build themselves a strong tranny that will hold up to a built truck? I'm sure I can find a place to rent the larger tools I need and we even have a fully equipped garage in base that's 2 bucks an hour for use....

I've asked a buddy of mine who is still deployed that builds diesels and he said the one thing he hates to mess with are trannys, just wanted a second opinion.

The 4R100 is a b!tch to build unless you know what you are doing. Many have tried before, few have succeeded.

Definitely not for the simple minded.. my friend has rebuilt E4OD's he is going to be doing his 4R100 soon, no problems here.

Where are you located?

 

[ewils35]

to me it sounds like a trans. mine was doing the exact same thing on the shifts, a week after it started the trans was gone. so either rebuild the trans with a bts or go back and get a rebuilt from the dealer. dont ever buy a used trans for these trucks

Well the burning was rear brakes, just noticed..
Haven't had the trans problem again, hope it holds till April when the bonus comes
