I'm sorry for your losss man. That sucks.
A little update as I am always willing to put a little work in on her even though the transmission failure has demotivated me pretty badly. Her drain plug is now leaking badly and that kinda kills me a little more as I took quite a bit of pride in having fixed every leak that I could like the champ I am so now I probably need a new pan considering that I tried giving her a little tighten and that didnt work out well.:angry3: Now it leaks worse. Its like just F-bomb me, I fix all the leaks and now this crappy *** Wal-Mart oil change bullcrap pops up. Its like getting spiffed up on your wedding day and right after you say I do, ya crap your pants because you think its just a fart. :violent1:. I've done the pan gasket like 6 times now so this is not something I was wanting to do AGAIN.
If anyone has a good truck pan for cheap that wont leak oil, let me know. I'll buy it and give you a dutch rudder at my expense :toothy10:
