It would help to know your approximate budget. There was a guy selling a fully built (slightly used) Goerend over at DTR for $3900, not sure if he still has it.
Approx $1500 give or take, +labor

thnx drew, so which do you think you would go with for the valve body(ats or suncoast) and pan(ats or mag-hytec, deep or double deep)? Plus do you think a TCI tc will suffice?

I would probably skip the pan and put it towards the TC, you can easily save for the pan later and install yourself.

I missed the orginal problem... what was wrong with it for you to bring it to the stealer?

The tranny was slipping a little bit, so I just wanted them to check it out. Heres the original link http://www.DodgeForum.com/m_1284205/tm.htm. But its real funny that after I got a second opinion, they stated there is nothing wrong with the tranny. Believe me, this is all going straight to DC, that service mngr is going to have a big problem on his hands.

They dont call it the stealership for nothing! I keep putting off bringing mine in for the valve cover being possibly cracked causing a small oil spot on top, will probably tell me its cracked because I dont have a cat.
