Just a heads up on repair work . COVID is kicking the shit out of the parts supply stream. My fairly new dodge needed transmission work. Called Mainline in Rosetown and they said they do lots of auto transmissions every week. They now tell me if your going to use that 3500 for pulling anything but a bicycle trailer you need the heavy duty Aison automatic. Anyways, they said bring it in, 2 to 3 days turnaround. They tore it apart and then said it was a simple fix, 2 clutch pacs, unfortunately the pacs are a month away. Further into our now not so civil conversation they said they had 3 more trucks with the same problem waiting in front of me. If you happen to need your vehicle, you need a timeline guarantee. Just sayin.

Nice to know a 3500 is made that shouldn't tow anything. BS never ends.
Regarding supply lines. Yes be aware, its affecting all kinds of things.

Electrical parts are a bitch to get as well. Waited a couple months for some stuff

Gearbox ordered on OCT came in on monday.

[TASFarms]

Trade it off.

Trade it off.

Thats not a bad suggestion. If its new enough, the transmission work is warrantee and if you are losing income from this, go pick one out of the lot.

[RD414]

No, it’s not on warranty and the only guy that seems interested in trading is the one who is fixing it. The rest want to wait till it is repaired. Won’t give Mainline the business now, pissed they didn’t give me the heads up on parts. Driving the 94 Cummins dodge service truck. Started every day thru this brutal weather.

Ordered a a and I return elevator for a 9770 week and half ago, got told yesterday won't be making it across the international border. Hopefully this isn't a sign of things to come this spring.

My situation is no where as concerning as you guys but I ordered two storm doors for my house July 3, 2020. I have been checking when they are coming every month or so and the lumber yard keeps saying they are told by their supplier it should be in about a month. That has been happening since about Sept. 2020 when I first checked on order. Good thing it is not an urgent matter. More & more things are not looking good for replacement parts and we are going into another crop season.

Which 3500 transmission is it? Just replacing the same parts... without properly modifying the transmission; is very unlikely to solve the problem.... so fixing it right now could save mega $xx,000. Did you try Kaltire @ 415 Hwy 7 W, Rosetown, SK S0L 2V0
+13068823200? The last place I would go to fix this is a dealership. I have heard these excuses before...
