It definitely didn't sound right when you hit the go pedal. I have no clue what that noise was though

Yea but we've heard all the shite you've done to your truck to keep it running so maybe he was trying to give you money for parts
Naw just kidding that was a very good deed you done cause the guy has been sick & i'm sure you had to do most of the tiedown also

You told me to remind you about that. Hell, go by there and get it. It's just sitting out front. If anybody gives you any lip, just show them this thread.

I was just so glad to get it there, I never thought about it once I drove it off the trailer.

Just got a conflicting report on that TSB it may still be the belt...stay tuned...I'll let you know when I find out different..."IF" the belt "WAS" changed...and it's non OEM, I would mention that to TNT just in case until I find out the real scopp, or maybe they know about it already, but it definitely won't hurt to mention it...might save you some hours spent on diagnosis...

as said before...if it is the trans itself, I would find a way to get it to Kinder, La or to Suncoast in Ft. Walton, Fl

I'm sure there are some people would work on them and may know them pretty good...but if you want a strong built unit by people who really know them, then that is where I would go...

I just want the sonofabitch to run.

I'm not drag racing and don't tow much at all any more.

I'm gonna still hold out hope that's its just a sensor loose somewhere.

Whatever it is, it will show itself in the codes they are able to pull from the truck that the edge can't see...

I really wonder why the original shop didn't run it for codes when it wast running right after the water pump was put in?

They just assumed it was aftermarket accessory issues and threw their hands up. Oh well, we'll hopefully find out tomorrow.

Try to get them to tell you the exact codes it threw. Ex .P0240 etc...

Yep. That's the way it is here in my neck of the woods, too. Wouldn't have it any other way.
