Ours was having problems and they replaced a valve body in the transmission; now it's having the issues again so it's going back. Not hopeful that I won't be replacing a transmission before 85k.

If anybody's interested in H&R coilovers for their cab, I'm selling mine.

Used less than a 1000 miles; got bit by the new car bug so I went back to stock and put the car up for sale. Asking $950 shipped or best offer.
