    i seviced my tranny 3 times in 80,000 miles, thats how much miles ive put on the truck since ive owned it, the 33s and 20s have been on there 70 percent of those miles, and it has 185,000 miles now,


    whats your guess on how much longer the trans will last if its taken care of?

    ive read on other forums of lotts of trannys quittin before 100,xxx miles?

    but im suprised its lasted this long, has anyone had to rebuild theirs?

    if so, how much did it cost? what miles were on it when it went out?

    mine runs like a charm, but im tryin to educate myself for the future just incase

    No I know you know about regearing :crazy: but there was a section in there about decreased tranny life and I was on my phone and don't remember what it said haha

    Way to take care of the truck though... Most people would just drive it till it broke Haha
