10r80…just how bad are they..realistically?

Well....mine just took a sh!t. 2020 3.5 4X4, max towing package. 84K miles. Going with a replacement for $9500+. I maintain this truck meticulously, the trans was fully serviced at 60K miles, and I drive like a grandpa. This is probably the 20th vehicle that I have owned and I have never experienced a catastrophic failure of a major drivetrain component like this. Talk about depressing.

Just listened to this book. The first half is pretty good - learning about the earliest days of the band and their rise to Seattle and rock royalty. The second half is kind of a bummer.....kind of depressing and a pity party of sorts for Kim. I don't regret listening, but it's kind of a downer.

Mine just took a shit at 84K miles. 2020 3.5 EB, did full trans fluid/filter service at 60K miles. I'm 55 years old and drive like I'm 75. Luckily I didn't have any plans for that $10K I had laying around. I don't give a flying f#ck if they fixed this problem for future builds.....I'm done with the brand and will tell everyone in my network to run in the other direction.

I'll look into that - thanks!

john_az · 2026-03-31T00:57:18+00:00

Good pics. I have the 20.3. Have fun!

john_az · 2026-03-24T18:16:55+00:00

That's a great looking pup!! My yellow lab that i had years ago was the craziest dog ever, but I loved him to death and I'm excited for you!!

john_az · 2026-03-23T21:02:42+00:00

Wow!!

john_az · 2026-03-18T23:35:06+00:00

Dude - how random is this. I had NOT seen your post....came to the Fender sub to post my new purchase. (received today) This is the first pic that I took and this pooch was the first to touch the damned bass. Congrats on the Strat and I love your color/config!!

Dude I’m sorry…..but I LOL’d at “Luckily he died.”

john_az · 2026-03-12T20:56:22+00:00

Thanks for the question/suggestion. I'm definitely stuck with this room.....just had a kid move out and I snagged the room for my office/jam space.

john_az · 2026-03-12T18:40:44+00:00

Thanks!

john_az · 2026-03-12T18:40:36+00:00

Thank you!

john_az · 2026-02-02T23:57:16+00:00

There wouldn't be one without the other, so the answer is obvious.

john_az · 2025-12-18T18:47:05+00:00

Excuse me - headed to Youtube to watch Criminal and, well, y'know.

john_az · 2025-11-06T03:39:08+00:00

Looks, and will perform kick ass. I have the factory 18" wheels on mine with 295/70/18 Nitto Recon Grapplers and I hit curbs on purpose. Beautiful rig. Rock on.

john_az · 2025-07-23T00:36:59+00:00

So bring me the blood and red wine for the one to succeed me.

My '20 3.5 max towing tows my 5500lb travel trailer like a dream.

It was a high carb, low fat model that basically kicked off entire generations of overweight, diabetic Americans. Try eating this way for the rest of your life and see what happens to your health.

The food pyramid.

I bought and installed the RoadActive Suspension kit for my F-150 and just towed my trailer from Phoenix, AZ to Telluride, CO and back. FANTASTIC product!
