Tony,
Yeah, I've thought about it. I'm going to ask the dealership if they would
consider this. The only thing that doesn't thrill me is the additional
90lbs in case weight. Guess that would be a small price to pay for
reliability. I'll see what they say. My service writer was off yesterday,
so I'll be calling them in about 30min to an hour.

Rich, have you contemplated a swap to an NV4500?

Well,
Guess I am blessed. My NV3500 woes continue. Just had the 4th transmission
installed a couple weeks ago. Haven't driven it to much since it spent one
of those weeks sitting at the upholstry shop. It has been shifting very
rough so I drained the fluid out this weekend for a look. (Please note this
new transmission only has 325mi. on it.) The fluid should be a nice honey
color. It came out gun-metal gray, and the drain plug has a ½" ball of
metal shards on it. This is just what happened to the last tranmission. I
don't know what gives with these transmissions, but will be so glad when
something else comes out to replace it with. Looks like I'm going to be
looking at tranny number five.
Hey, I know what happened. Robert Trottman snuck over one night and dipped
his finger in my tranny oil. Yeah, that's it!!!
Till later,
Happy Truckin' from Rich
Ashburn, VA
