i think my transmission just went out but there was no sign that anything was wrong with it. i was driving around most of that day and when i was at a stop light heading back to the house i pushed the gas and then nothing the rpm's went up and it wouldn't pull. any ideas on what it could be i thought maybe torque convertor?

Have you tried pulling any codes yet? I'd start there, and cross ref. code to description. YOu can find those here, just do a search for codes. What year, type, eng. etc dak do you have?

So far so good. It will need a second coat, but it is holding up good.

It cost around $60 bucks. It took me around 4 hours to do, due to prep time. What I did was buy a sanding disc for my drill to help expidite the removal of the clear process. The sanding part is the key to any type if roll on or spray in liner. Just scuff all areas to be covered with the liner, and you will be good. BTW, I have since loaded and unloaded bricks, rock, dirt, and cinderblocks, and the liner is still in good condition. Like I said you probaly will need at least 2 coats for uniform coverage. Good luck wiht the trans, and keep us posted.

Hey Steve, yeah so far so good. I've put probably well over 40K on them, and they are still stiff. I periodically check for play, when I change my oil, rotate tires etc. I am happy with them. For my dak I got them @ rockauto.com, pretty cheap as well.
