Tranny's are HOW bad?

dippin · 10-10-2008, 06:31 PM

Hey, I'm pretty damn sure I'm buying my first cummins tomorrow!

How bad are the auto trans in these? I really want an auto... I'm looking at one with 165,000 KM's and one with 202,000 KM's... no previous tranny work.... think they'll out on me?

what year of trucks are you looking at. A big thing on these trucks is people don't maintain the bands in the trany

Sh*t sorry, I'm looking at 24v 2nd gens

Most of those have the 47RE. They are ok if you don't add power.

I don't plan on adding power, but even then I'm worried because they already have almost 200,000 km

If it's been maintained and not abused , it will be fine.

Well I sure hope it has been! One truck I'm looking at in the morning only has 100,000 miles (160k km), its black auto 4x4 extended cab... Had a really hard to pass OOP inspection done too so I know everything is in good shape. Hes asking $14,900

Hope things go well!!! I'll post up some pics =P
