This is what reverse looks like after the oats have already been run thru the horse. Carbon anyone? :>)

How can you help but get mad when you're chasin cows? lol

JMOR · Jan 7, 2014

I gave up chasin cows long ago. Patience, bucket of feed works a lot better & for sure better on my mind.

You shell out a clutch pack or the 2 - 4 band? Or BOTH?

Got another one you can do, when you get done with that one!

I have the side of my truck mashed in from an old cow that tried to pass me in a gate. Dang cows!

I'm not an automatic guy but that looks like a chev truck pan I'm guessing? Not the most reliable things even when treated nicely!

Yup, train all mine to come by rattling a bucket of range cubes.
They come a running like a herd of turtles heading to the creek.

JMOR is right and it works for 90% of the time BUT the old wise cows, bulls that are bossy or the steers that just got off the truck well that is another story. I have a pet herd then the others that just make me mad and yes in times past I have fed the Buzzards.

Weakest damn tranny out there.....followed right on 'er heels by the Dodge boxes.

They should all have taken a lesson from Henry.

My younger brother was trying that right now.

Called me and asked since my son didn't get a deer if he'd like to take shot at a yearling steer that's already destroyed his brand new portable corral TWICE (once when he was in it with the other steers and the second time when he trapped him with a spring loaded gate). Can't get within 100 yards of the animal. Figures we'll field clean him and then process him at home.

Dad had his trained the same way. small herd, 50 -70 most years but they would come running. We had several pastures or 40 to 80 acres to move them around during the year and they were sure easy to get loaded.

Sometimes we would drive them on horses but I doubt the horses were really needed, they would follow the pickup.

When we were kids, we used to chase Jack Rabbits with pickup trucks at night. I'm here to tell you that a full blown jack rabbit can make a 90 degree turn at 40 mph. (;>))

Surely not a 700 R4?????

Allan in NE · Jan 7, 2014

No, 4L60

Patience and a bucket of feed may work in some situations with some cows, but around here if a person is trying to get one individual cow to go someplace and resorts to to that, you're still gonna have to get her in a few days later because that dead backwards calf inside her will kill her if you don't.

We calve out over 1000(one thousand) head every year, and believe me, there have been some stubborn old girls. Please come shake a bucket of feed in front of them next time we need to get one in to pull a calf and see how it works!

Yep, I've chased cows and smelled burning clutch etc with a pickup many times. Gotta do what ya gotta do, because with critters it usually needs done NOW.

Allan in NE · Jan 7, 2014

Yep. :>)

Gee.....I wonder why they recommend flushing the coolant lines.

Anonymous-0 · Jan 8, 2014

Yes but the 4L60 does have a nice soft shift, no clunk.

Allan in NE · Jan 8, 2014

Huh?

Ol Henry licensed the clutch design for his first automatics offa Chrysler.
And the Dodge transmissions can be built to take about anything you can throw at them, but it takes replacing some key internals, and increasing some clutch counts.
