Hi ya'll:
I purchased my 97HD 7.3 in 2003 with 40k miles.( 1st and only diesel) It has seen mucho fishing trips, had a camper one it, pulled a 30 Coachman trailer, and we now pull a 26ft R-Vision (3-4 times a year) The truck is completely stock and has been great and currently has 134k miles. It has experienced what I would consider only "normal" issues. The problem is: My wife would like to be able contribute to some of the driving. The problem is she cannot handle the manual transmission. I started looking around for a trade. This guy has been paid for since day one and I am having a real problem justifying the price tag for a replacement of an equal or better rig.
SOOO the question IS: would a conversion to an automatic be practical??? If yes, I would have to have it done professionally. Any suggestions re tranny? Any best guess as to cost? and then ''WHO" to do it.
All input is greatly appreciated
Daryl
