Oh and the previous owner babied the truck it was all street driven it still has almost all the under-body paint basically I just so happened to get a truck that has a bad tranny I'm assuming and of course this past year I've owned it it's had to have rear axle seals and a new front brake caliper installed it's almost stupid. I'm a Ford man but 3grand in one year would really get old fast.
I spoke to the previous one owner and he got rid of it during the last gas price spike it had 32inch tires that were 13" wide when I got the truck 305/50R20s hell the guy put heavy duty studs and a power steering cooler in it when he put the big tires on.
I'm starting to wonder if people are treating their trannies to gently?
That's a very common thing I have been hearing about trannies that fail is that the previous owner babied them.

I drive mine like I stole it alot of the times.
