    Check front diff seals!
    Get the trans hot foot break it for literally a minuet then drive wot to see if it shifts right.

    Nice!
    Y'all have anybody around there doing oil spray? We have several nearby, $40 would get that clean lil honey "rustproofed" around these parts...I like oil spray much better than undercoating...undercoating just gets rust underneath it eventually. Our guy uses new (not used) oil specifically made for this purpose (supposed to be "stickier" I guess)

    Your gonna like it!
    Check front diff seals Everytime you change the oil.
    People run avalanche rear coil springs to help prevent squat.
    I never bothered. It'll tow!
    I lovem. I've gotten 15mpg in the winter pulling my sleds driving like a fool.
    Economical comfortable and durable.

    Sounds expensive! Heat is the #1 no no with an auto trans. Having said that.... That's almost exactly how I tested my "built" 700r4 in my mud truck (with a BIG cooler). Good luck with your new purchase Pete.

    So, I do hope Mrs Pallet Pete learned a valuable lesson by all this?! Tell her she surprised me by doing this dastardly deed.

    Yeah it's worth more if you sell it rather than scrap it with the truck.

    Trailer would be a good project for ya and sell that :)
