If you've rebuilt transmissions before u could probably diy. Im guessin no more than 2k for parts. You will also need a 40k transcooler. I just had mine rebuilt it was doing almost the same thing. It ran me $4400 with a 3 yr warrenty, and guaranteed to hold 750rwhp with almost exactly what u have listed i also had pistons, and accums installed. depending on your rearend 10bolt or 12bolt choose the kit that works without breaking it. I had a transgo stage 2 shift kit installed the 1-2 shift breaks the rear loose. I have a 10 bold but am gonna go with a 12 bc im on my 3rd rear end.
but it sounds like you get your jolly's up from telling people you've blown 3 rear's, and overpaid for a tranny

Talk it over with your builder first before you bring him a random box of parts. 1k is a great deal considering it is a pain to even get the transmission out of a 4wd truck and parts probably costing $600.

How many miles are on that rig? Jeez mine spent the first 120,000 as a muddin truck and I ran it hard, and now its got 160,000 as a street pounder and I still run it very hard and no issues....
If it blows up, it blows up!
But I wouldnt worry about it until it does

it's got 93,xxx. About 50k are from me, and those are a hard 50k. Plus the tune and headers don't help. I don't want to be stranded since thus is my dd.

true 4400 is steep but i dont know anyone out here in cali. i priced many differnet places and they were all around 3k just for a basic re-build. back home i coulda got it for 1/3rd of the price where i know ppl i went to school with that have shops.. and no other place offerd more than a 1 yr 12000mi warrenty.

Well found a local builder that will build my 60e for 450$, with me pulling it and bringing it to him. That includes a better sunshell, 3-4 clutch pack, servos, super hold 4th, better sprag, and shift kit. Does that seem like a good deal? Any other parts that I should build up or have him add, that won't break the bank?
