| Description of the problem | I bought the truck and less than a week later i noticed a weird rumbling noise at around 35-50 mph and 1-2 rpms. One time while i was by myself in the mountains scouting for an elk hunting trip, the truck would not go into reverse. This could have been very bad as i was isolated otherwise deep in utah mountains in the fall. Took the truck in and found it was transmission failure just like everyone else had written about on the internet. Extended warranty replaced transmission for $100. 00. 6 months later, i was still nervous about the issue and before a big trip i did some more research. People with similar problems were pointing at the radiator and warned to check it for transmission oil contamination. Checked it last night and the radiator is full of transmission oil. Truck is currently in the shop. |
