I barely got to the shoulder before I stopped rolling. Pretty much story was that the entire tranny just let go. Mr. Goodwrench stated the only reusable part was the bell housing....  |
Man I couldn't imagine a bad tranny. We were at the bottom of an off ramp. by the time we stopped.

Fast forward to friday- my brother drives 80 miles to spend some time at my place for the weekend only to arrive and realize his fuel lines are shot and are leaking gas all over the place. The repair shop couldn't get it in on friday, so here we are on monday; truck still isn't fixed, he got a ride back to where he had to go, and I get to see if she's fixed tomorrow.
Gotta love automobiles. $$$$$

We were lucky we got the U-haul truck we did.  We were also lucky we had the only tow service within 50 mile that was able to get us.
