bumparoo

 

anyone?

 

hey ken, dont look for a shop. Me and Rusty Old Junk should be able to help you out with that. He is a UTI graduate and has a shop near Merced. I am calling him right now to see if he is interested. He is laid off and likes turning wrenches.

If you get a new ******, we can R/R in a few 3-4 hours no problem. We can take a look at your front end too.

Send me a PM, Email, or if you still have my number call. We got you covered like a jimmy hat bro.

 

****** or torque converter quite possibly. Might have to abuse (test ) it a bit just to be sure. If replacement is necessary try a T350 with stage 1 shift kit and the stall converter of your choice. Best choice for street in my opinion, but Turbo 400 does sound better when you're ****tin with friends.

 

More tinkerin. The truck does not go when in drive unless i give it gas. Like usually it will roll about 2mph like every other automatic ******. So what does this mean?

 

that could be alot of things too. Low Fluid? brakes adjusted too tight?
The ideas I'm tossing out are cheap or free things to look at.
You seem hell bent on buying a new trans and spending alot of money.

Take the truck to AAMCo or one of those places that do the check out on the whole thing for free.
Not picking on you... I've had many customers over the years that won't believe you if you tell them its something minor thats been causing them so much stress.
They feel better if its a big deal. I guess it makes them feel like a mechanic.

Have somebody that is familiar with old cars and transmissions have a look at it.

 

If you're hearing a grinding noise in an automatic transmission, everthing else around it OK, get prepped for surgery. If you want to take a chance in your own garage, drop the pan and look for shrapnel. If shrapnel is found, be prepared to drop the transmission yourself or get a stretcher for the wounded vehicle.
NItronova probably gave the answer to the first symptom, small junk getting into the normal transmission circulation. Grinding usually will follow if the first is correct as the bearings, bushings, etc break down from metal in the fluid.
I wish the best of luck. Won't move without throttle input ain't good if the brake system is still working correctly.
