Shortest most expensive fishing trip to date

[Bduck]

Been in that situation with my current truck, the tranny crapped out at 83K miles. Its a good time now to build your own beefy tranny, at the time I did there was not a big difference in pricing with a replaceable stock & a beefed up trans. If your going to continue to tow I suggest this be done. Another thing I don't do is tow in overdrive, a lot will tell you that they use overdrive and that is their prerogative, downhill or some flat land driving is ok. Monitoring tranny temp tells the story.
