Thanks for the input guys. I am not overly worried about the tranny,just wanted to see other peoples experiences.
The tranny guy at the dealership said that it looks clean,and said most make it past 200k.I think I am just going to continue servicing it and see how things turn out.If it starts giving issues,then I will go for rebuild.I should be good till at least 200k. We shall see.I am very aware of how this truck runs and am not drive and ignore type. I know every little sound and would know if something is not right.
This truck just continues to impress me.After driving over 3000 miles now with a hand calculated average of 13.2 MPG pulling my trailer and just running as smooth as ever and not much as far as repairs,Im happy.Left NC, down the east coast of Florida, up the West coast,stops in GA,SC and on up into NJ.Staying here a while then hopefully to Maine.The only thing that needs fixin is the drivers seat(mine and the trucks!)the foam is wearing out on the edge which is uncomfortable to say the least. Might just take it to a guy that can reupholster it or just refoam it.Hopefully might see some of You on the road!
The issue with the seats, is they are not 500,000 mile items either! That and the fabric is no longer available! If it is starting ti have an issue get it fixed early. Mine needed foam and the side panel replaced, they were able to save the seat cushion surface.
