Hey Stan, the 140K on that truck aint squat, but like another person said here, Chrysler automatics are what they are, not known for having a good reputation, and for reason. The price seems right, but you may be having someone go into that trans and it costing you another $2,500. Is it worth it to you? All in all, if the truck is sound I'd do it without giving it a second thought or hesitation. I did my '96 3/4 ton a couple of years ago with 265K on it, cost me $2,500. I did my '02 3/3 ton last summer with 50K on it, closer to $3,000 and that's after it was done once before at 25K on it under warranty from the dealer. Dealer didn't really fix anything, he just did the warranty to get it moving again if you ask my opinion. Since the tranny place did my first one and did a good job, I had the same guys do the second one and so far, good job with heavier internals than when it came out of Detroit. The place back home in Elkhart, Fred's Transmission is a member of ATRA (Automatic Transmission Rebuilders Association) which is nationwide, and means I'm warrantied nationwide. Little things like that add up and mean stuff.
Its really up to you Stan, its your money and you flipping the bills, but personally, again, if the truck's in good shape otherwise, and assuming that it is, if it were me, I wouldn't have a problem doing it. Your choice though, and good luck with your decision.

She smoked terribly and never had much power but he couldn't afford another so he was limping along with what he had. Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl.
