I didn't have many alternative choices at the time. When I stuck my wife and little kid at a Best Western hotel, I picked up the phone book and started calling transmission shops. Had my half-dead dog tied under a tree - but the hotel people said I couldn't leave him there, and also could not take him inside. It was one of the hottest days they'd had. Much hotter there than it gets here in NY (to my surprise). Most shops that I called were unwilling to look at my truck right away. They wanted me to schedule an appointment days later. I could not do that. I had animals back home that I couldn't leave much longer, i.e. I was not prepared to "vacation" in London, Ontario. I had already just spent two weeks in the Michigan UP and had to get back. So, when I called the shop in question - to their credit - they dropped all their scheduled work and fit me in. They spent - from 7 a.m. until 7. p.m. that evening to get me going. And, I tried to give them a $100 tip and they wouldn't accept it.
From that perspective, they were really nice guys (two partners) and bent over backwards to help me out. For that reason, I'm kind of surprised at their attitude now.
Your comments about a possible mistake creating new problems, yes - I suspect you're right.
Don't get me wrong here, I'm not trying to make a bid deal out of nothing - just trying to get some feedback on this trans. I have to admit, I grew up in a time when you were either a Ford fan, or a Chevy fan - in fact there were sometimes fist-fights over it (back in the good old days). I was a Chevy guy. Still am, however - for some strange reason - I've got several Ford Model As, one AA, one 1918 Model T, a 6610 tractor, a 85 F250 with a 6.9, and this 94 F250 with the 7.3 turbo.
Maybe I'm sort of a "traitor" with tractors also. I grew up around Deere, worked for Deere dealers most of my life, yet - just about all my tractors are red (IH and Case). I only own two Deeres - but they are both yellow.
Thanks for the input.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this ... [Read Article]
