Okay. I just got off the phone with the tranny shop. The tranny is junk! He informed me that there were "groceries" in the pan. It is from towing in OD.(Shame on me!) I am having a new tranny from Howard Engineering shipped to the tranny shop and it will arrive next Thursday. The cost.....$3500! The tranny comes with a 3 year/36,000 mile warranty good at almost any tranny shop. The other option was a factory tranny for $3200 but only a 1 year/12,000 mile warranty. And the guy at Toyota told the tranny shop the factory tranny is not that great.

I am working on a deadline here and it is a little stressful. Fortunately, I am here on vacation for another week. They said the truck will be done on Friday just in time to pack up and return home on Saturday.
