Consumer Description

I HAD DRIVEN APROX 20 MILES ON INTERSTATE WHEN I NOTICED WHEN TRUCK SHIFTED BETWEEN 4TH AND OVERDRIVE THE MOTOR WAS RACING. I TURNED OFF CRUISE CONTROL AND TURNED OF THE OVERDRIVE WITH THE TRAILER SWITCH. I STOPPED AT STATION CHECKED FLUIDS BUT EVERYTHING SEEMED OK. WHEN LEAVING STATION THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING WHEN SHIFTING. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME. NEXT DAY TRANSMISSION SHOP TOLD ME TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REBUILT. AFTER GOOGLE INFO I TOLD SHOP TO ALSO REPLACE RADIATOR ALSO. I GOT THE TRUCK BACK 2 WEEKS LATER. AFTER 5 DAYS OF DRIVING WHILE TRAVELING HOME FROM JOB. TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP AND TRUCK CAME TO STOP IN MIDDLE OF ROAD. I LOOKED UNDER HOOD AND FOUND OIL IN RADIATOR. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED BACK TO SHOP. COME TO FIND OUT THE SHOP HAD REPLACED WITH USED RADIATOR. THE SAME THING HAD HAPPENED AGAIN WHERE ANTIFREEZE MIXED WITH TRANSMISSION OIL CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE, STILL IN SHOP AND WAITING ON ITS RETURN. SPENT 12000 ON TRUCK AND IN FIRST MONTH. 400 MILES AND 3000 IN REPAIRS. AND STILL CLIMBING. *TR
