and scheduled.

TC arrives Monday.

Truck gets dropped off Monday night.

I go on vacation Tuesday - Thursday. While I'm playing around at the Great Wolf Lodge with the kiddos in Kansas City, the truck will be at a local tranny shop enjoying her stay.

$450 all in for the labor. Not horrible for a 4WD.......

Can't wait to get back from vacation and take the bitch for a spin.

Let the fun begin.

That sound pretty fair for the amount of work involved. At least you have something to look forward to when you get home from vacation!

yeah, its not bad. Granted......I wish it was cheaper.

BUT, I literally have quotes here ranging from $400 all the way up to $700.

All of the places go by the book time, but there are SO many options on it.
- Skidplate?
- Dual exhaust (makes no sense, the f'n exhaust is the same up to the muffler, and I know you don't have to take anything off after the muffler).

So, the guy I felt the most comfortable with got the job. I talked him down a bit too.....that always helps. In the end, the hours are 4.1 to remove / reinstall tranny. 1.2 extra for 4wd. .2 to swap the converter. .4 for the exhaust. So......5.9 hours. The shop's hourly rate is $100 an hour. I told him he wasn't the cheapest, but he was close and I'd rather do the job close, never know what I'll need done next. He asked me what quote I got that was better. Told him "this asshat in St Charles (town over) quoted me $450". He matched it.

The $400 quote I got was from the guy that questioned EVERYTHING, and I wasn't going to have him do shit to the truck.

Yep, for work like this, it's worth the extra money to know that it's done right.
