true dat

 

If your short on cash start calling junk yards and just get a tranny from there. It will be less then a grand and it will buy you plenty of time.

 

Dodge dealership hourly rate at least here was $20+ an hour over the ford and chevy dealerships, I will never go there for repairs again.
Your in to pay a good chunk of change but if I were you, I would not take shortcuts. You said you don't like aamco but I'd at least try to find something like aamco that will offer you a 1-2 year warranty.
I've heard too many horror stories of people taking short cuts and ending up putting two or three transmission in a vehicle in a couple of years time.

I don't know what a fair price in your area is but here I can get the:
The "level 2 Viper transmission" which is good for 500hp for $2300.

horror stories with transmissions are taking them to a lube shop to get a flush done, and they do a reverse flush instead of taking off the pan and replacing the filter & gasket..

some aamcos may be bad, but the one I went to gets top marks.

 

you best shop around.. when my tranny went..they wanted to refab it .. but i told them no and wanted a new one.. 1400 bux later.. got a new tranny, tq converter, and aux cooler, installed, with 3 year 30K warrenty... and i watched them take the new tranny and converter out of the crates and install it ... so i know i wasnt jipped

 

found a place that will rebuild it for 1,000 and it comes with a 12 month warrenty

 

you know its cheaper if you drop the trans yourself

 

when the parents are making truck payments, They get to call the shots. Otherwise i would have taken the truck in may when it started slipping.
