RE: FOR SALE.
If you get a quality rebuild with quality parts and a shift kit, these transmissions are GREAT. Just as good, if not better than any other transmission. It is in stock form that they suck, even then it isnt always true. You can get a good rebuilt transmission for $1500-$3000 depending on who you have do it. You will have best luck at a smaller shop that an older guy runs and has been doing it all his life.

look it up, do the math. Granted I still got screwed.
I would sell it for what I paid for it, 4months ago.
not selling it now... stuck with it. I am almost hoping the tranny dies around tax refund time. then I can get something else. how are those PATC rebuit units?
the 98 has a 46RE or RH? what would be a better upgrade?

A buddy tried a couple of them in his Dodge 350 dump truck that has gone through transmissions like crazy since his stock one died. The stock one lasted 130k or something like that and he says he gets around 40k out of the ones after that. He didn't have good luck with Jasper ones either and says he wouldn't put another one in.
I've heard a few people on here say good things about them but I've just seen to many fail to like them. The shop I used to work for also saw this and no longer uses them.

I have a 2001 dodge ram 1500, i too have had to put about three grand in it since i bought it about 3 years ago... thats why i bought the warranty with it! three grand only cost me 345$ but yes it is a fact of life, if you want my opinion... take care of your truck, have fun but if you beat the heck out of it, and try and drive it like a viper then yea it will give you fitts!
in response to your gas problem, where do you do most of your dirving city/highway/offroad??
and your power issue, my truck withthe 5.9and a flowmaster kept up with my buddy who has a 04 chevy crew cab with a airaid and a TBS.

We got a brand new 2005 Yukon XL and the car payment is 560.50 per month (6 year loan on 32K)! Think of it that way. Your new truck payment (unless you buy another beater/money pit) will be that or right about that. Multiply that by 12 then by 5 or 6 then put gas in it.
What I am saying is the cheapest car you will ever own is the one you have right now. Believe it or not, trucks are mechanical devices that wear out and break down. If you know a car or truck that does not...please let me know. My 1995 is very close to being trouble free. In my near future is a heater/AC core, probably a tranny. So what? I have 192k and love it!
One more thing. Wouldn't it be a hoot if you purchased a used truck and then, while making payments, had to fork over the money for a new tranny or major engine work????!!!!!!
