I didnt get a slip before it just felt like the e brake was on and then it grenaded. they had the new one switched in over the thanksgiving holiday. broke tues, towed in weds, thanks giving thursa, picked it up fri at noon.

Do realize that I know of techs that make it their mission in life to report you if you modify it in any way. Say a downpipe, chip or something like that. I have been denied by GM and I know the Ford people that will try to void your warranty if you do anything like snowplowing or excessive towing. For $4100,
the waranty is as long as he is in business. No denial reasons. He fixed a trans for someone 6 times in the last 8 years. Reason for breaking? Racing and pulling.
