I have a 1986 4x4 pick-up that is getting louder and louder in gears #1,2,3, & 5 (4 is direct drive)! How many more miles can I go before it dies? What should it cost for me to have it rebuilt? Any other suggestions? The truck is an Xtra-Cab with AC that otherwise runs great. I really don't want a newer truck.

Try draining the tans and refilling with synthetic fluid. If you are where it gets really cold go to a slightly higher viscosity. In mean time look for a low mileage used unit. Rebuilding a trans --- just the parts -- is terribly expensive and skill of some of the rebuilders is questionable.
