Was smoking a cigarette and an open Coors light on a coaster at the front counter. Don't think he's shaved in 20 years. Couldn't tell if he was wearing pants or a skirt though, counter was chest height.
Asked me what it was doing, I told him slipping reverse and had a first gear lockout code that I cleared with code reader and hesitates to downshift when braking hard, also hunts at high speed.
He only wrote down my phone number and "slips R". Said he'll call later today. Pretty much confirmed my suspicion that it's gonna be a pull and replace job. Gotta decide on a number now. I figure $5k would be my upper limit. That would be a year's payment on a new truck, and most tranny swap places will give you a year warranty so I don't think I'd be ahead either way if 5k or under. But trade in value on my truck is about 6k, so maybe I take the 5k instead of spending 5k... I'm not sure.
Praying for a repair instead of swap. If they can replace the reverse band, flush it out and send me off I'll be happy. Also will be shopping for a new truck.
