The mods were not related to the transmission.
TRD duals, Line-X, Bedliner, Bedmat, S/S Tiedowns, Bushwacker Fender Flares, Deposit on new wheels and tires. .. All generic stuff.
Looking for BSMs, blanket type seatcovers, rear cam/monitor and a few other things at moment.
Wanted a PTO winch .. dealer said there was no PTO outlet port on 5.7L.
SOS
PS ... took it on 30 min ride a while ago .. still doing same thing(s). ..... but, like someone mentioned before ... hard to think 2nd transmission would be bad ???
Maybe (transmission controller) a computer/electronic like the service manager hinted about ????
PPS ... H*ll .... my truck made it to 500 miles before the Transmission went out (yoohoo) .. maybe I can get to a 1,000 miles before the Computer goes out ... lol ...
OR ... I can just have a ..."Taxi Chase Car" ... ride beside me, where ever I go. ...
Hummmm ... Now, I think that I will buy the extended warrarty from my insurance company (7 years, 100k miles with $250.00 deductable per repair).
They have them cheap ... at about $25.00 every 6 month, pay with your ins. premium ..... but you have to buy it within first 12,000 miles and/or 12 months or something like that ???
PPPS ... Hey .. just doing some weird math here. Toyota said a tranny cost about $7K and if I went through 2 of those at 1,000 miles ... ?????
... That would be about ... $14.00 per mile just for trannys .... plus other parts, gas, insurance, depreciation, and etc. ... Let just say ... $15.00 per mile.
At that price ... I would bet that it would be cheaper for Toyota Corporate to rent a Rolls Royce and have GWB drive me around the South ... lol ...
