Well Ferm, I thought I would update you. Took it to the transmission guy and dropped it off two weeks ago, (I got it back last tuesday). On the way over there to drop it off it started getting real bad.
He called me the day after I dropped it of and said it was definately loosing pressure and they found a good bit of dust from what he thought was the 3rd and 4th gear clutches wearing out and thats what I was feeling on my way over. Anyways, he offered to go into it and try a few different things to figure wear the pressure was being lost. It may have been overkill but with my several months of frustration and missing over a month of hunting I told him to give me a price and just rebuild the damn thing!!
Anyways, long story short and $1900 later she's running like a top. I felt good about the decision because of the piece of mind I FINALLY have, the motor only has 40K on it and he gave me a 12 month/12K mile warranty on the tranny.
The truck might be an old 99' but I love her and she's worth it to me...and PAID for.
