Thanks for the update. I bringing mine down to the dealership today and am preparing for the worst. Worst case scenario, I will buy a used tyranny and spend the weekend putting it in myself. What kills me is that I've babied this truck since I got it. Does anyone know if they changed the transmission model after 2000 or 2001. I'd hate to have the same thing happen with a new one. I was planning on keeping this vehicle for another 5 years!
