Youngsville so yeah. Lafayette area Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

i'm 90% certain it has motor oil in it. looks like motor oil. what kind of oil should i top it off with if i choose to try to limp it back?

I'm currently home in Louisiana 3 hrs from the truck. I'm very tempted to make that trip tonight. 3 hrs isn't far. Take a gamble Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Exactly. With everything going on... i chose not to push my luck further and trash the trans. I could travel up there with oil, top it off and take a chance. that could be a very very expensive chance.

$600 is fine! Hell. I'd buy a driver dinner for that too. And a tip! Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I'm paranoid about the transmission. she wasent pulling right. I was in mode. in 5th she started slowing down. I pulled over quick. she shifted hard in 1st and 2nd gear. It has to be low. Something is leaking. She went 500 miles before i had problems. I'm tempted to go back to Picayunne with...

i would have it trailer hauled. I don't know anyone with a truck big enough to haul it. Well, one guy. He is offshore right now

It's in a planet fitness parking lot. Not the best repair shop. My work and my kids school will soon interfere with getting this done. Shipping is definitely easier Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Or should I travel back there. Top off the transmission and try to drove her home. Man. I'd rather not risk damaging the transmission. The dipstick looked good on oil but either out of a breather or somewhere else it was misting oil over the bed. Enough to make me very concerned Sent from my...

It's an M1078 2.5 ton. I dropped the front drive shaft. Drove it another 35 miles but the transmission was acting up. I decided to park it verses pushing my luck and trashing something Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Tried that. The transmission is also low on oil and got hot. I felt i pushed my luck far enough and decided to give it a rest and look for someone to haul it.

Well, went to Tennessee to get my truck. Took a gamble. 175 miles from home the front U Joint went out on the steering axle. I have a guy that can maybe haul it but I'm looking for a backup plan. Suggestions appreciated.

Newbie here as well. Not a truck owner... yet... I'm in my research phase. Great post. Reading through it really helped a lot. So, my conclusions and or what I learned from this. 1. If you want a winch for emergency use. Electric is fine as long as you understand the limitations. Benefits...

:LOL: .... Right ! from what I remember the gamma goat ran a 3-53 or 3-53T. I actually have a nice 3-53T for another project. Love the Detroit !

Thanks for the input Ronmar Yep.... I just need to let the idea grow on me. I will never pretend to know more than the pile of engineers that designed the LMTV line of vehicles. I'm sure the Allison was chosen for durability, ease of driving, etc. etc. I know they make a quality product. I just...
