Wolf's Den

Yeah, there's something wrong with the truck again. Not quite sure what. The tranny's not slipping, so I don't think/hope its that. Its more of a straining noise when it shifts. It does shift smoothly, but the rpm's get high (3500-4000rpm) before it does shift though. And it sounds worse today than yesterday.
Maybe I'll get lucky and it'll be something easy, like adjusting the timing chain/belt. Maybe its just the gearbox wearing out. Maybe its just the linkage is worn out. Maybe it just needs tranny fluid (something I'll be checking when the weather clears, its turned windy and spats of rain). If its the tranny itself, well, we're looking at roughly 500.00-1,000.oo to replace that, seeings how it is a 4x4.
Maybe the torque converter just needs adjusting, or tightening or something.

All I know is that it didn't make this noise before I had to use the 4 wheel drive, and now, suddenly, a week later, it is. Grrr.

Either way, I don't like going too far from home now without the car. Which means no trips across town for awhile}:( Luckily the store, laundromat, etc are all right here within 5 miles.}:P

Monday, hopefully, the mechanic can put the Demon Truck up on a lift and check 'er out.
