Well, I think it's safe to say you're in the minority there. Also take into consideration your truck weighs probably 500-1000lbs less than most people with extended or crew cabs. Apparently it's the extra weight that really kills these trannies.

Not only are the splines twisted, but it's cracked though one of the oil holes and it about 2 1/2 shorter then it should be right now
Pretty much the same 5400lbs 4x4 truck as the OP

And from my experience, I have never had any luck with cyro'ing output or input shafts. Tends to make it more brittle and easier to crack. And every output shaft I have seen that has broke, breaks at that lube hole.

Ya it "might", but anther $550 into a tranny I aready have $2400 in, doesn't make since for a "it MIGHT hold" for a while. I rather sell this tranny to someone who isn't making near as much power and put something quite a bit stronger in it. (4l80e)
