So Im sure its done...any suggestions? 125,000 miles i cant really complain As a unemployed union electrician Ive only worked 7 weeks this year so I was looking for someone to refer me to a reputable shop....I live north of Philly Anyone know ballpark how much a rebuild will cost? thanksa everyone Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bag Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) PerformaBuilt Transmissions 50 Slusser Lane Sugarloaf PA, 18249 http://performabuilt...nd%20truck.html Not a shop but a local reputable builder. Could order yourself one of these with peace of mind on the build and have a local mechanic R&R it.

2bfast Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 sounds like you broke the input drum or shaft. Possibly output Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman31 Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Broken planetary? My original trans did something similar, only had 3rd gear, would roll about 12 feet in reverse, and would abruptly stop with a clunking noise.....

CaboRob Posted October 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) Update............. So it turns out that I get the call with the good news ,bad news conversation....good news is that the trans isnt completely ****ed..1 st gear slips but 2nd,3rd,4th arent that bad....but the bad is the sound I heard when I backed up was the transfer case...apparently there is a gear about the size of your hand is completely stripped...so the 1600 rebuild drops to 1500 and hes gonna charge me only for the part since its close to 500 for that...2k for the whole job....which is fantastic price and I have heard from 4 people now that the guy is aces!!
