Borked Tranny

We stayed in New Brunswick a little longer than planned due to a transmission failure on the big blue truck. :( The torque converter started to slip causing the brain to put the tranny into limp mode. Was able to clear the codes by unhooking the batteries but on the next tough pull up a steep grade into wind it would do it again. So rather than have it melt down completely at an inopportune time we decided to get a full rebuild in Fredericton. Found a great shop Jensen transmissions and they put in some upgraded components and a heavy duty towing converter. Now she tows like a dream! Love the truck, everywhere we go people comment on it. They don't see many 1994 trucks in such good shape out east here, where they tend to rust out. On to PEI!
