Quick ballpark cost question...

[BoxMN]

How much (ballpark) to rebuild a 2000 Yukon 4x4 tranny? Or (ballpark) how much for a used one to be installed?

Thanks for any thoughts, just need to decide if it is worth it for family member. Otherwise in good shape truck.

Used, with fluids/stuff, tax, depending on the labor rate also, but I would suspect around $1500-$2000. Could be high depending where and who they get the used trans from and their mark-up and miles on the used unit.

Good luck!

Thanks Shack. I see you are 37 minutes from Mille Lacs Do you have any advice if this tranny blew in Aitkin? I believe they are towing to the GM dealership right now in Aikin.

Thanks!

All I can say is get a diag. done first at the dealer. If a trans replacement is need and you are going the used route, you can save your self the mark up cost, maybe tax and find a good unit on-line your self. The used unit price you will get quoted on-line should include shipping costs. Make sure you tell them where it is going and not your current location. You can tell the used parts on-line vendor (I always call the 1-800#) the name of the dealer it is going to. Could lead to maybe some better pricing??

If the trans needs to be replaced, get a break down estimate of parts, labor, tax and shop supplies. The labor should not change if you supply the used trans your self.

Let us know what the finding are.

Thanks tons Shack! The good news is it seems like it just the fuel pump that went... ha! Not sure how they got "tranny" blew if it was just a fuel pump, but they are not even as mechanically inclined as me, and I don't know Jack!!!!

But I now have more knowledge for my 98 k1500 should the tranny ever go, and will take your advice. Hopefully it won't but better to be prepared, huh?

Thanks much for the quick answers!
