    Yup, I've got a 1998.5 with the Cummins in it. No plans on getting rid of it. 👍

    This is why safety inspections on vehicles are needed in all states.Transmission problems in them,it is the person misdiagnosing problems and rebuilding them wrong.Plus not using the ATF+4 fluid which it calls for.There is also a rubber hose part in the lower transmission line with a nylon checkball in it.That nylon checkball melts plugging it up.Fix is get that checkball out drilling it and popping it out with a long 1/4 rod or #2 phillips screwdriver.The crank
    sensors,they are different for an
    automatic and manual. transmission.Can see it real easy,one for the manual is shorter

    at todays new car prices I don't question anyone fixing up the older cars as long as they aren't rusted to pieces and parts are available. I use to see a few cracked frames on those where steering box mounts.

      For sure. So sad they have begun using salt solutions on roadways up here during winter months. We never saw corrosion in the past but it’s really starting to show up and I just want to retire so I don’t have to learn how to deal with it. Haha.

    I bought a very similar truck brand new in 1998. 26 years and 200,000 miles later it's still my daily driver. Aside from normal wear and tear, the only real issue it had was the dash plastic crumbled and needed to be replaced. But I've maintained it properly and will continue to do so. The check engine light has never even come on. And yes, it does work, lol.
