Sounds like a good event though... BigBlue should have his new VP on by then.. See where that gets him..
Maybe you could hitch a ride with someone else?
I hear there's plenty of folks heading past us from Oklahoma way to get to Buda... I'm planning on riding with somebody.

On man oh man Scotty - those bad boys are guaranteed to knock at least 3/10 from your timeslip!

Plus, if your rear end is lifted up, the carrier drop will keep your shaft joints from knockin'... I know I seen how far up your rear was, but I reckon I must've scrubbed that image from my brain since then!

Thumbs down

so I'm having a great day...
I'm stranded in the middle of a field in bfe Oklahoma with two holes the size of golf ***** in my trans pan...the closest pan is over 4 hours away...

I guess oklahomans like to throw old 6 cyl engine blocks in the middle of fields...

That sux - figures the waste engine blocks would miss your skid plate!

Can't you just weld up the pan? Where in OK?

Wow, that's great. You got to be careful about what they throw in the fields in Okiland.

My mind is reeling with possible comebacks to that line!

Scott - At least it was the work truck...not the Schoolbus......right?

well we got the work truck back up and running... 6 hours later

The two closest pans were in amarillo and shawnee, luckily another one of my dads crews was working down close to shawnee so he brought it over to me here in elk city.

What kind of transmission is in a 3/4ton 2004 hemi 4x4? It has a screw on filter inside the pan??

Sorry to hear about your bad luck today Scott. That sux.

I think the trans is called a 45RFE or something similar to that.


At least this was the work truck and not the "schoolbus"! Good luck in Buda!
