A full transmission rebuild would cost almost as much as he paid for the truck itself. I'm going to open a thread elsewhere on the forum to see if anyone has any helpful advice. This is the kind of problem that takes the fun out of a project.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
