Gosh I'd love this as a 'project'....if they could tell me what the mechanical issues are. I called them....'uh, we haven't looked at it in depth. Budget 1700 to 2000 for a used motor if that's the issue'.
I am tired of rebuilding motors/transmissions. But it's super cool looking to me and...
I haven't yet. I did the most basic look over possible, just a visual to make sure things didn't look weird. And I've been looking for leaking fluid daily. Almost reminds me of a fan hitting a shroud, a clicky hollow plastic like sound. Only at take off and it goes away after initial take off...
I'm probably just bitter with it all. It shifts good but there's this new plastic rattle like sound that comes up now. From a dead stop when I take off I can hear like plastic shaking or rattling. And yeah I can't prove a thing. Which sucks, but I definitely know I'm not crazy. That plus the...
Absolutely not. I called to ask and they denied everything. Said it makes no logical sense to put that many miles on it and he was 'offended' I was questioning their business after he gave me a 'discount'......and also added 500 miles as well as a broken tail light. And also a trip to McDonalds...
So I found a McDonald's receipt from 9/30/2023....and I left my truck there 9/21/2023.....has it been fixed since then and that's how it has 500 plus extra miles now? I'm so pissed off.
wow, just walked around my vehicle at work......my tail light is literally broken off. I haven't gotten into an accident. I have cameras at home. Obviously cannot prove anything but what the fk?
Update.
Well, they hady hummer forever. I called last Thursday and they said it would be ready Friday. Called Friday and the owner said his tech said we're good in an hour.
I show up. With my $1,250 balance.
Upon arrival, hummer needs a few more hours of work. And the invoice says I owe...
I'm guessing my trans was dying and my failed tow was the last straw. Trans temp 238 with no sign of stopping. Destroyed 3-4 clutches. I'm afraid to try towing again lol
At least you weren't blown away by the price. They definitely build it themselves. But I don't mind asking. You sound like my dad hahaha "Prices suck since Covid!". I'll figure out the warranty tomorrow. All I know is he said if I didn't get a new torque converter, the full warranty wouldn't be...
I checked them out just to see and they're about $2,400 now, the estimated install was $700, so $3,100. Looks like I'm paying a 'standard' cost. I remember when a rebuild was like $1,700 bucks.
It's expensive guys.
$3,250
Said it had been rebuilt before and had a 3-4 powerpack installed all the clutches were pretty burnt or warped or both.
I forget which part but he said they removed this certain part that rebuilders often do.
Also said to get the full warranty, I'll need a...
According to the v8 swap guy with every ASE certification and like 3 ECUs.... It's the exact thing as a Colorado. Check your privilege hahahaha
I miss that thread.
Sadly I don't really wheel, and now I know not to tow. This will be an around town or road trip vehicle for me. It's got every factory option and some upgrades I've done, but given everything I just want a basic rebuild that brings it back to stock functionality.
Who knows, maybe I'll be...
I'm looking forward to it too. And I definitely understood his reasoning for not quoting. Just hoping his promise to reuse all parts that are functioning properly to save as much money is true.
Plus that shop is about 5 minutes from my parents house so it's easy to access.
My concern is he...
God I hope so. I called initially asking for a quote and he wouldn't give one. Said he can't fairly quote me without looking into it. He promised they're very competitive and he can work with me on price. Said he couldn't give a quote because it might only need a valve body, maybe a torque...
The original shop explained it to me better. Said that the transmission clutch packs for 3rd and 4th are not working. He drive it using one of the scan tools you mentioned and was able to get the solenoids to operate but the trans wouldn't shift. He told me he found no metal in the fluid. He...
