Hi Kenny,

How are things down south this morning? A bit chiller here than yesterday, but what the heck, we're one day closer to spring.

GM's automatic transmissions use a "lipped" type seal for the most part. It is neither the miles nor the service that kills these things; it is the time in service more often than not. You can just about set your calender to a 7 year failure if you use the truck a lot.

Back when these old trucks came out, we didn't know about tranny coolers and such (even those old 400 grandads were burning to the ground), so I lost the first one towing a load of bulls to the sale barn. It overheated and I overhauled that one.

Third unit was a 350B/C lockup for economy, and finally went to the overdrive in '91.

In 1995, I replaced the complete engine, tranny and transfer case with new. So actually, guess it has had 5 trannys, come to think of it.
