Pulled traps last night and today so I can head south Friday to go guide a couple Barbary sheep hunts. Had 29 traps out. Two were dug up by coyotes, missed a fox, two missed bobcats, and caught a grey.
I had to take the wife’s truck to pull traps cause I dropped mine off at the mechanic yesterday. Mechanic called just as I was finishing up and said that my 2015 Cummins with 180K miles needs a new transmission, $6200 heartbreak

Ever think if it wasn't for bad luck you might not have any luck at all?

Cummins: an engine so good no transmission can keep up. Sorry for the bad new Rframe. Seems to be a fairly common theme with my Cummins buddies. Makes me appreciate my Duramax/ Allison even more
Boco couldn't catch a cold. But if he did, it would be Top Lot.

anything can have a problem
my 2001 E350 at 63K , it was clearly a bad torque converter that came apart killed the rest Ford wanted to out another 3K dollar crate transmission in. found a local transmission shop that rebuilt mine 1750.00 it then went almost another 200K and it was rusting out badly and had no brakes but the transmission was still good.
find a shop that rebuilds them and gat a quote , rather than a dealer crate transmission. the shop that deals in them regular knows what goes out and often have a better part to replace it with than the factory put in.
my 1998 dodge caravan was like this 140K while doing 60mph the planetary gears let loose transmission guy said , you made it longer than everyone else you must drive it easy usually those went out about 104K-114k $3400 to rebuild that one and it went another 100K and was still good not problems but so many other issues that weren't the transmission it had to go

if they will give you a 100K warrantee on the replacment it probably is worth it
when they wanted 3K for a replament in my ford no one said I was getting any longer warrantee than I got with the rebuild guy which was 15K
