that makes me leery too. Sounds way to cheap to be good.Yeah the aps may cost $2500 but then it still has to be installed. I think for $2500, or less he said if it goes better than expected, for the tranny, cooler, tc, etc. and installation is not bad.

$2500 just seems kinda high to me for a regular rebuild...espcially when the book value of these trucks with good tranny is only $2300-5300....

Exactly, for $3,000 look around a bit, can likely pick up a decent truck, trans and all.
On the other hand, we all know what we have individually put into these vehicles, maintainance & upgrades, so that has to be considered.
Alls I can say is theres no way I'd pay over $2,000 for a rebuild.

alright, for all you guys that are saying my quote of $2500 is too high and stuff, theres nothing I can do about it. That was the lowest quote for my area. And in comparison, I checked around and definitely could not get as good of a truck for $2500 than I have, so it seemed to me it was worth fixing. There's nothing else wrong with the truck, and I'm not in a position to buy a newer truck just yet, so it was either fix this truck or find another truck and take a chance. With this one I know what I have. Believe me, I considered this for 2 days before reaching a decision.
Don't sweat it.

What "extras" are you talking about that makes a jacked up price sound so sweet, getting the lines flushed ?
You might be willing to pay it, you might be willing to pay twice as much, knock yourself out, thats you.
He asked for opinions, he got em, and don't expect everyone to agree with yours.
Magnum, some more [perhaps unwanted] advice.
Since this guy has torn it apart, he should have a near exact idea of what needs replacing and/or reworking.
You should get an itemized list, including brands, of all the components he plans on replacing.
Knowing this, you can get at least a ball park idea of what the parts themselves are going to run, maybe even adding 30% or so for markup.
The balance will be the labor - He should also have a pretty good idea of how many hours this is going to take to do, so if you get those figures and it comes out to $200/$300 an hour labor, you know you are getting jacked.
