here's the latest!
Once again, against everyones best thoughts, some how my truck has broken another part that is unknown to break. I wasn't sure myself, but had some hopes as to what could be my latest cause for trans failure. This time, it was the intermediate shaft. Broke it straight in half, 2 pieces, as if I took a hack saw to it! haha
So that was kind of cool, but I really wish it would've stayed in one piece. To add to all this, only one other person broke an intermediate shaft with Suncoast before. So, back then, Ron had a custom billet intermediate shaft built. No one ever needed it, but more so, no one wanted to pay $800 for it. So- guess who has it now! That's right, the only billet intermediate to be made for a 5R110 will be inside of my trans by 5pm tomorrow afternoon. Best part- Suncoast overnighted the part for me AND everything was 100% free!!!
Once again, I can't say enough about how Suncoast has dealt with this WHOLE ordeal! Been amazing every step of the way, and just when I thought it was over, they continued to come through for me!!
so this took a crazy turn and I'll be driving my truck some time tomorrow afternoon! I'm completely ecstatic! It's been a tough journey, but finally I'm getting somewhere! I'm sure I may not be the only one to break the intermediate on a 5R110, but from what I've found, no one else has except for the earlier mentioned customer and NO one makes a billet one except for the one off piece Suncoast has sent me.
I guess the moral of the story is... keep your cool and things will eventually get better. Even if it takes 81 days to get there.
