A lot of times thats how they go...the last of lining wears off, something gets plugged, the fluid overheats, and its a downhill spiral.
At least it didn't go >BANG<...trust me, that becomes VERY expensive.
When its rebuilt, make sure they flush and/or replace the check valve and your cooler.
Oh, and take it to a reputable shop, not AAmco.

lol u guys are crazy calm down im prob not getting rid of it i love it too much just wanted to see if anyone seriously felt it wasnt worth it with the mileage, but in all honesty i wanna fix it
As long as the repair doesn't exceed the value of the vehicle or you can't justify junking the vehicle, then by all means spend the money.
I just had the trans rebuilt in my truck at 185K and was told there were signs it was rebuilt before. I had heavier duty parts installed and even after the work ($1750) my is still worth over $3,500.
and yeah kbb on it is $3600 so I feel like its worth it theres nothing else wrong with the truck besdies this, i love the truck, and Ive put a lot into it already i think its worth it, but thats my take on it
If it's clean and mostly rust free, and the interior isn't shredded, I'd say go for it.
Of course your motor has a lot of miles on it, and its gonna need some attention some day. But motors can be dealt with. Rust is a whole 'nother matter.
