We're probably getting into another thread; however, getting hit with ~$7,000 in repairs has me thinking I may have looked into a new vehicle. That said the suspension issues are BAD:
Lower Ball Joint
Sway Bar Link
Front complete strut assembly
New CV Assembly
The shop was saying to address...
I guess that's good news? My AC isn't blowing cold air on the driver side (I thought it was an actuator door).
The other shop just called and quoted me out on my rear main seal. The transmission shop replaced the rear main seal but nothing else (the gaskets etc). so I'm still leaking oil.
My...
I'm afraid you might be onto something here....I got the vehicle back yesterday (still licking my wounds from the complete rebuild). He did put a rear main seal in for free BUT I'm still leaking oil (in the pan), need suspension work and to replace both sway bar links.
The codes I'm throwing...
I really appreciate ALL the information this forum has provided. I was going to drop off the Yukon on Tuesday but Houston had the storm come through leaving many of us without power.
Collectively it seems that everyone agrees that a rebuild with the following should be a solid transmission...
I appreciate all the advice. I spoke with him and he said that he would be using a precision Torque Convertor, Sonnax clutches and AC Delco for solenoids etc.
Standing firm that there will be no other costs involved and that he's strictly a transmission shop. Should any other work need to be...
I serviced it once at 50,000 +/-. I had always read to either stay on top of your service OR just let it ride with the fluids that are currently in there (I'm at 152K).
The guy that seemed the most honest to me (and good google reviews) has me at $3300, saxon transmission but only 1 year...
That's my thought - He could hit a jackpot, salvage parts and I'd never know. There's another shop that is saying about $1,000 more BUT 2 year 24K warranty, and the 3rd saying $3300 but they don't include the unforeseeable (obviously they're going to pull something) BUT they'll give a 3 yr 36K...
The guy that is giving me a flat fee cost of $3300 (sight unseen) and warranty of 1 yr 12K miles with Sonnax parts (says he will not go higher on cost). Does this seem legit?
Thanks for the warm welcome - I don't have pics on hand (will post later). It's all stock with OEM 22's.
My goal is to not get hosed here. These transmission folks aren't really diagnosing the problem, just saying "rebuilt tranny, upgrade TC". This is on the phone.
Already busted one quoting...
Thank you for the response and great advice (I KNOW what I SHOULD be doing but one can only dream about a "justifiable" reason to get something new.
That said - I talked to another shop and they're wanting $4,400 for a rebuild giving you a 2 Yr 24K mile warranty.
The other guy...
