You realize you can get a bulletproof APS shipped to your door for that much right...? Thats the highest I've heard for a regular rebuild. You got hosed.

Sure I could order a tranny, have it shipped to my door, but now i need someone to put it in.
I was going to have them add a cooler, but I already have the other cooler between the rad and the AC coils.
Is it worth getting another??

looks like he has a viper tranny. I'd rather have the shop do it and give me the 1yr warranty. now he might have burnt that tranny up.

RE: $2250 - tranny rebuild. - Update
Okay, got the truck back this past friday and it was running great. TQ locked up at around 42mph and was tight... no slipping or an issues. took a 50mile round trip, and the same issue was present. the O/D off light came on, a sign of over heating. Brought it back to the transmission shop and he took it for the weekend. While connected to the computer the trans temp was 150*, then drove it and it climbed up to 170* and stayed. stopped the truck and let it idle and the temp never went down. put it in gear and sat still, it climbed slowly up to 190*-200*. shut the truck off, let it cool for 20mins and drove it. the temp would slowly climp up.
end result, bad cooler in the radiator and the external also. He is going to remove the external one, and bypass both and will install a huge cooler, rated to over 18,000 GVW towing. $250 more.
like I said, its the rolling money pit.

I don't know what fluid, the shop added it.
I would suspect ATF4 since its backwards compatible.
I just hope this new cooler does the trick, I am dying here borrowing and bumming rides to work.

Mopar ATF+4 is the only fluid I'd run. It's also what Wanye at APS said he really liked. You can get the Mopar branded stuff at Wal-Mart for like $5 a quart. Same as the dealer only the dealer here wants $11 a quart.
