I got my Truck back and I'm VERY HAPPY

[gregzz4]

This thread is only for anyone who wants to read about how happy I am

Back in 2003, I put a 355HP crate motor, 3:42 Posi and 700R4 in my truck
For those of you who have no idea, we're talking over 10K for my setup

It used to pretty much crush anything without power, and some with power. Pretty kool considering it weighs over 2 Tons

Recently it's lost shifting abilities, but shouldn't have as the trans is basically bullet-proof

I'd read about a valve body issue with my trans, so I had a mechanic buddy pull things apart and we found some broken /messed up stuff
I won't get into the details to bore you non-car peeps, but suffice it to say I was very happy to find the accumulator spring had snapped in half, and the valve body was very gummed up with valves sticking and such

Since getting my truck back tonight I feel like a fat kid eating smarties for the first time !!!
I've been driving it so gently for so long that I forgot what it feels like to have power again and never realised it was broken

All I have to do now is avoid tickets and burning up my tires

Ok, that is all
Carry on
