[QUOTE="Doug Menkhaus, post: 1029938, member: 69254"] OK, so last spring I pulled the engine to replace the oil pump (locked up/broken drive shaft) and while out replaced the timing chains and tensioners/guides. I'm approaching 140,000 miles? reading throug the forums last night that the transmission may have a problem with a faulty valve body gasket. OK, so last year, my O/D light started flashing about 3 miles from my house. Drove home in 'limp home' mode, shut it off, and started it later to no problems. Never saw the problem again. However, perusing through the Forums last night, I see this could be a tell tale sign of impending doom. Mind you, I have no flashing O/D light now, but the truck is an '02. 140K on the odometer, with a fresh engine out timing chain redo, so I'd like to catch it early if I can. Should I order the transmission rebuild kit and install? Thoughts? Thanks, Doogie [/QUOTE]
