Had it rebuilt There and came back to chicago... when I got here new trans Clutches were smoked . ????? I have no Idea if any other work was done on my 5.9 24 valve .....

Whom did you use to rebuild the trans? A nation wide company? Local guy?

Shouldn't you be contacting the rebuilder????

Well Ron, first of all you posted in the 1st Gen forum, 1989-1993 trucks. Secondly it sounds like your cooler is clogged with gunk from the first failure and was never properly flushed out and flow tested.

Try putting a fourth wheel on her and see if she doesn't run a little cooler.
Just kidding. I bet Johnny's right.
