That sucks. "Built FORD tough", huh?:rolleyes:

I have two words for you:



Duramax, Allison.

:D :D

The transmissions in the Dodges don't seem to be any better. I've got a HD 2500 Quad Cab 4x4, V-10, 4:10 axle ratio, HD everything they offer, and started having tranny problems at 51,000, turns out it's a problem they've had since 94, and purposely don't fix cause it's a cash cow for them. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FRIGGIN DODGE. When I can, those two words, Duramax/Allison. No other choice in my mind.

Boot sorry i couldnt help you guys out.

Call 904-334-9950,
I work for Page Racing in Ft Myers and we have the equipment to do the job, we have hauled 50 Ft Nor-tech no problem.

BOOT SORRY TO HEAR OF YOU PROBLEMS WISH I COULD HELP . my truck 2003 dodge cummings ho 6 speed 4x4

Boot, did you guys make it back in one piece with that rental?

Hey Brian, glad you ran into Boot! Nothing like finding a "friend" in the area when you're that far from home. I spent all day finishin up the winterization on my boat inside the heated shop!:D

Any guesses as to how much that rig weighs? If it was a fifth wheel trailer, I may consider hauling it myself with my 97 F350 PSD dually. Right now, all I got is a cheesy class III hitch.:rolleyes: Would a class V hold that thing? Does it have electric brakes on all 6 or surge?

Hey Boot, I still will call you in the AM tomarrow with potential hauling arrangements or if you need a little more time for storage.

Steve

Boot, sorry to hear about your troubles. Brian, let me know if there is anything I can do to help.


What has happened to transmissions? Does anyone remember the TH400? C6? A small aftermarket cooler and you could tow the space shuttle without any worries. Sure, they are not as efficient as automatics of today. It seems manufactures have lost sight of heavy duty quality in the quest for .5 more mpg using smaller lighter rotating parts which cannot take the heat.

Anyone heard from Boot???

Those 727's were never a good transmission. Why on earth they would even think of putting it behind a diesel is beyond me. :confused:
