Who verified what???? the quote notations messed up I never came up with any misfire at all and Im still betting it s the torque converter and Im not going through a tear down and put a new torque converter on a trans with 150,000 so Im going to put in a remanufactured trans.

So if you don't have $700, how are you paying to replace the transmission?
$700 is way too much to have someone read codes. Find a better mechanic who won't t rape your wallet. Or invest in your own equipment.
My mechanic visually examined the truck on the rack, and found nothing wrong. Then she hooked up a laptop, went for a test drive, and analyzed the datalog. Sporadic misfire in one cylinder.
.The $700 is because the truck would have to be towed over 100 miles dropped off and then a second trip to be towed home
The same test your mechanic done has already been done truck passed 0 misfires all 8 cylinders. also I didnt say I dont have the 700 I said it would be cheaper to replace the transmission.

**********UPDATE*************
Whew finally got it done took almost a month to find and get the transmission I wanted.Then while I had everything tore out I decided it would be a good time to redu the undercoat. also I replaced the factory trans cooler with a Hayden Automotive 679 Rapid-Cool Plate and Fin Transmission Cooler .
after replacing the transmission and torque converter the truck runs like new. Downshifts better feels like the motor has double the power and MOST of all the dreaded vibration is GONE GONE thank God its GONE.
