Myself it was a Chevrolet K2500 4 speed auto, 1994 model. It had experimental components for the 95 models which had several changes. The transmission began slipping in the 225,000 mile range. That's probably normal; but what wasn't was the transmission itself. Went to an auto shop, owner I knew for years. He went to replace it; but called me up & said I don't know what we have here. Never seen the transmission before. It had many more wires, & plugs over the normal transmissions (17 in all!) He called several places, & nobody knew what was in it. He told me go to Chevrolet. Did so, & as soon as I picked the vehicle up to leave with the new one... It hesitated to move out of the parking space. Brought the technician out, & he said the new transmission must be bad; so He put in another one. Within a few days it acted up. I wont go into the whole story but it went on for a year, & I had enough, & sold it at auction with a full explanation taped to the window. Got $4500 out of it, the new owner ended up taking to the junk yard as he was a mechanic, & unable to get it working correctly.

Chevrolet told me that the Transmission was experimental on several hundred 94 models. After 100, or so 1000 miles they then sold them at auction. I bought it from a dealer; but never would have if I knew the history of it!!! I bought it with 180,000 on it as a spare farm vehicle.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: The Saga of Grandpa's Tractor - by The following saga is from the Tractor Talk Discussion Forum. Someone. The saga starts with the following message: Hey guys I have a decision to make. I know what you all will probably suggest and it will probably agree with me way down inside, but here it is. I have a picture blown up and framed in my "tractor room" of a Farmall M. It was my Grandpa's tractor, of which whom I never got to meet. He froze to death getting this tractor out of the barn to pull a truck out of the ditch before I was born. Anyway my dad and aunt had to sell it at the auction, ... [Read Article]
