I am leaning towards getting a different truck. So far $7200 is the least expensive reman install I’ve found. I got the truck for a little over $5k three and a half years ago. I drove it home from the diagnostic shop earlier today. Probably the last time I’ll be driving it.

Yeah. Too much money for a high mileage truck. You could toss a motor in there, but, you would still have a high mileage trans behind it.......
