my 4x4 '95 Dak had over a 130,000 on tranny when I had dealer change fluid
and filter($90 or so)
I too, had the slipping deals during the winter(cold temps) as I did not
have the problem during summer. Now I dont have a slip problem and it is
but ass cold out today(never broke 5 degree F here and windchill kept it
well below zero last todays.
Also I did some wheeling today and am getting closer to filling up my
disposable I keep in truck.. got about 10 more of 36 to use up then I will
get some new pics of my truck up.
