I'm not droping the tranny pan, I got off of topic. haha. I am droping the oil pan.

When I drop the tranny pan I am going to be changing the filter, have one in the truck waiting.

Do you have to pull the front differential out to drop the oil pan?
What about a slide hammer to pull it out?

Ah *** it it can wait till it gets a little warmer out... A rock drive way sucks! Just did a freash oil change so I am good for a while.

I really dont know what to do with the tranny problem, I checked the fluid and it looks like new rich red in color, like it's freash..................

Yea I gess I will have to do something. First I am going to put that Fuddle in, I hope in about 2 weeks.
It sucks that there is no overtime at my job this year, last year at this time I was working 70-80 hour weeks for about 4 or 5 months. I was able to do or get anything that I wanted, now we are slow so there is no over time.

So is it shifting fine in just normal driving?

I think my 60e is slipping at WOT shift. My exhaust pops when it shifts, and it's not a nice quick snappy shift.

I would seriously wait to do the verter swap if infact your trans is on the way out, that would be a bitch to go threw the trouble of doing it, then pop your trans, do it all at once, put the trans on your x mas list
