tranny
 
I have a 03 Silverado z71 since new.
Had tranny cooler lines rust and pump out all tranny oil on way home.
Now it won't shift into 3rd.
Like its in N

So my question is should I go to a tranny place and have them rebuild
for what I was quoted 1200-3000 depending on what they find 1yr 20000km warrenty
or
GM factory referb
3000
3yr 60000 warrenty

last tranny was a referb replaced about 5yrs ago under warrenty and worked fine b4 all the oil was pumped out.

I have heard rumors that tranny places can make em better then new
or should i bother just get nuther referb?

I think the answer is simple
A possible 3000 with 1 yr warranty
or referb 3000 with 3 yr warranty

I would go with the 3 yr warranty

I'm leaning that way but im not really sure the tranny is shot.
If I go to GM its a for sure 3000+
Maybe a tranny place can fix and possibly make it better.

i only drove about 10km at most when it started slipping when I got home noticed oil all over under hood took front off and then could see where mess was coming from.

when the Last tranny went (sad isnt it)
I would get tranny overtemp message on computer.
but it was fulla oil....

another thing the tranny was replaced 5yrs ago but only has 20000km on it.

I also called the most expensive tranny place in town according to my tow truck buddy.

bite the bullet and go to the stealer for a tranny and full brake job caching....:eek:

Gotta do something soon the Lund is crying in the back yard wants to go fishin
