[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 606509, member: 9096"] I'd check the U joints first and foremost.. sounds like the needles may have been ground to a pulp, the additional stress of getting a load of broken up concrete, coupled with the change in pinion angle due to the loading, may have put them over the top it's not sounding like a clutch problem to me... and it doesn't really sound like tranny either though, except for the hard shifting I suggest draining the tranny fluid and checking for metal filings, etc in it, that should give you something to go by Brass in filings = Worn syncros, which would explain the hard shifts, though usually it will just grind the gears when they wear slivers of steel are probably gears themselves, steel dust can be from gears, bearings, fork and collar wear.. Aluminum... something is rubbing on the casing somewhere my suggestion is check ujoints first, and tranny oil second... maybe start looking for a tranny now while the truck still drives... while you're at it, I think a 6 speed will fit I have a 94 dually diesel ram [/QUOTE]
