well, although my 96 is a gasser it had over 200k and I was trying to pull 10k slowly up a grade and the tranny finally gave up the ghost. really sucks when your trying to back five ton o hay into a small *** turnout down a grade with blind corners and no forward gears . oh well I knew I was on borrowed time soooo I might just put a junkyard tranny to get it operable and start hunting for an OBS manual diesel thats in my price range
