13spd vs 15spd transmission?

Or even just get a clunker from a salvage yard to use as a core?

 

Go buy a rebuilt RTO for around 2500-3k and a 1000 core and call it good. 12k break out the ky jelly.

 

Wait to you get a new truck. Unless you blow your tranny ........then swap it if you really want to keep yours.

 

Cost me $850 for a rebuild kit for my RTO15615 plus $300 for an input shaft. No other hard parts.

 

Unless your 100k plus often, or offroad a 13 speed is more than enough.

Personally I found about 130-140 gross the difference in a like truck on road. At that point, you needed help starting out.

 

New eaton clutch, rear main seal, surface flywheel, shorten driveshaft, shifter handle, 13/18 speed rtlo, misc ujoints, exhaust, rear motor mounts, starter, and add a cooler that you might not have? Rebuilt worn linkage?

Does the rear structure need resealed? Or soon.

12k is rich, but not that far off. I would hope for 9ish or 10. For a quality job.

7k to slammer together with parts.

 

That's what it cost do the 93 everything you listed. Buying RTX 14609B + aux from a 14613 with parts/labor. 12-14k that's a jaw dropper

 

To do a proper job. Nobody wants to do a rear main 6 months later.

 

I mean I could do it for 4500 cash. Nothing will be new. Nothing, we are reusing oil at this point.

 

I talked to my buddy yesterday at his shop. He has a local trans and diff shop rebuild for him. They charge him $80-100 a gear for rebuilds. Depends on parts needed. So an 18 speed will still be under $2k rebuilt.
