saw this on FB, not worth it to you to fix it up? I understand puttin 3k into a 7k truck. trucks not worth enough to you? considering you JUST got it lifted ha ha unless youre going to go with a diesel.

You may be suprised how much more power you will have now! My old 96 f250 PSD had a tranny problem......got a new one and it was like a whole new truck! evidently the tranny had been going south for so long and I didnt know it, when I had full power making its way to the ground I couldnt believe the difference!

Hope it works out good for ya!
