Re: Thinking about adding this to the collection
Well, I'm back home. Went to go look it over again and make a deal on it. I got there, verified that everything did work on it......windows, locks, back glass, A/C, power seats, etc....it all checked out good. Hopped in it to take a test drive and before I could even get out on the road the transmission was about to fall out of it. It was a 700R4, it was slipping and popping in and out of gear with the slightest amount of acceleration. Seems like 1st was ok, 2nd was all but gone, and 3rd would hold for 2-3 seconds and then slip out. I'm no transmission expert so I have no idea what exactly the problem is. He said that it had never acted that way before. He drove it as well and seen what it was doing. I offered to buy it "as-is" at a reduced price, but he said he was curious to find out what the problem was and would have it checked out and call me in the next day or two. It sucks a*% because it was a 2hr drive (one way) for me and about $75 worth of diesel. Oh well.....it's not the first dry run I've made and it sure as hell prolly won't be my last.
