My pile gets ran all winter long, some county roads that I have to take to work and back aren't maintained hardly at all, so four wheel drive is a necessity. And then I hit the interstates...laden with rock salt and that brine spray crap. Good thing it has a fresh body to rot away

Same here, working nights, usually all the roads haven't been plowed, and I'm busting drifts to get home. Usually park the '93 and bomb around in the '77, but at 6mpg, can't afford that trip, so we're taking the dually instead. Just have to wash it when it gets home

I find it hard to believe that is why it chews them up. Maybe more strain on them because you run 4x4 more often in the winter?

Who did you have in mind? It can be really hard to find a good auto shop.

That's the problem, there really isn't anyone around me that builds diesel transmissions. And all of the big name diesel trans companies are about 1500 miles away minimum.
