Ive owned this truck for only 3 mos, the tranny wasnt doing well and i knew it. Finally reverse went completly out. I had 2 questions to myself,
1. Rebuild it myself, all the updates ect...
2. Buy a rebuilt unit and put it in.
I have rebuilt every transmission for every job that i have ever done. With a heavy work load in the shop i stressed out with this tranny job.
This is what i did and thought i would pass it along.
I found ATK engines and transmissions.
Here is the deal.
For 1,600 they will send me a fully updated and rebuilt 4L80E.
Warrenty it for 75,000 mi or 3 YEARS.
Send it to my door with in 2 days.
Pay me 45.00 per hour flat rate for any repairs or replacment under warrenty.
Here is what happened.
It came the next morning.
Packaged in a plastic tranny crate,(pretty cool)
Painted with all new sensors, wire plug kit, cooler flush and all the paper work, including a prepaid invoice for fed ex to come and get my core.
I installed this transmission.
Loaded it with Amsoil synthetic atf.
Took it out for a test drive and have been very impressed since.
Have 3000 mi on tranny, have hauled about 6 times loaded up around 15k gross.
It works great and thought it would be worth passing along, i certainly could not afford to warrenty even my own work for this deal.
