I got some Good news and some Bad News

Good news is:

Problem was NOT the tranny. Seems some sensors were going nuts because of another problem. These caused the engine to skip, but only at higher sppeds. But then at all speeds, and especially when shifting.

On the way to the shop, the check engine light came on and the truck shook like mad all the way. I thought it would not make it.

Bad News is:

It was also a bad coil on a cylinder. They replaced the plugs, the faulty coil, and the bad tranny/engine sensor. $$$$ is up there, but not as high as it would have been with the tranny.

At least I feel better about the truck not having a MAJOR problem like transmission, thats why i bought a big truck with a big engine, so it would last pulling my boat.

Picking her up tomorrow. He said its running GREAT !!!!!
Full power.
