Well my new truck let me down today...well...its letting me down. Turned 42,000 miles yesterday and the transmission started acting funny today. Scheduled replacement next Thursday... I'm not happy.

Not something to look forward to.

Not something to look forward to.

I hate not having my truck with all of my tools and such with me. Also disappointed the dealership knew exactly what it was no question. We have two others identical.

I miss the good old days of a 350/quadrajet/TH400 and solid axles.

That aint very many miles for a trans to go out

I know of 3 guys with Chev trucks that the tranny`s went out before 50,000. KLM`s, **** no to GM now a days.

The reality is Jerry, they all are a roll of the dice anymore. My brother has a Tundra....it has issues of its own. Good friend has a small fleet of Ford.. they have their own set of quirks. I seriously do not think anyone makes a consistently decent vehicle anymore.

I know, just that I was a GM man since the early 60`s, had a good many and liked every one of them, kept my 79 for 34 years. When I decided to replace the ole girl there was no way I would buy another GM truck for up here in this climate. See far too many with rotted out frames around here, also the bad trannys I already mentioned. My younger brother actually loves GM`s, he is a automotive mechanic, they keep him working full out.

I havn`t cut my tree yet but when I do I will use a chainsaw, maybe the 090 with a 60" bar will do.

Yep

Only one pair.

We need to find an Intez bar by Oregon for that saw. That is why it has no adjuster.

 

[Stihl 041S]

Ya lost me...

 

[Jimmy in NC]

Ya lost me...

You double posted... so I only have one 020 and 451.


The intez bar has a bar tensioner built into the bar. I am guessing that is why that saw never was drilled or had a regular bar tensioner installed. (Remember that that saw had no tensioner when I got it going?)
