Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire $5300.00

2014 Chevy Silvarado. only 140,000 miles. Found out it's common for this year model.
was quoted $5500, but picked it up and total was $5300

Are we supposed to guess??

sorry,..... transmission replaced.

Dang! I was wrong, I was guessing taillight.

If the rest of the truck is good to go, wouldn’t bother me. But it still sucks to spend $5300 just before Christmas. Hopefully will outlast the truck.

Damn! I thought you meant you bought a truck.

I'd have dragged it out in front of the dealership and lit it on fire.

For $1500 coulda prolly got one of them guys who borrow them cadillac coverters to take a coupla xtra minutes to get the trans and transfer case too. $500 and case a beer theyd prolly throwd it in for ya. Round here anyways

$17,332.

$12,000 here but didn't have to pay all, part was covered.

My last two Silverado 1500’s both needed new engines at less than 170K. Rebuilt engine costs the same as your transmission. I like a truck, but I pay dear for the privilege.

I broke my heart to pay that much on 9.5 year old truck. But the truck is in perfect running order and plan to keep it a long time.
If nothing else big goes wrong, I figure I'm good. but 140, 000 miles ought not to see the death of so many Chevy Silvarado transmissions.

options?
1. Sell it for almost nothing since it needed a transmission. Then buy an $80K truck to replace it? no way.
2. Put it up on blocks in the front yard and mow around it, but only weed eat around it monthly.

Seems a bit high to me, but hard to say... I don't know GM.

I have a guy in Catlett that does my Dodges for under $3k... typically $2,500+

Truthfully... models vary.

Asked Roger to price out a Ford Escape that lost one at 71k...

Trans is tiny, but still $4,700.

Apparently it is fairly common on the Escape.

My wife and I have both driven GM full size cars going back to the 90s. After 130000 miles the transmissions were on borrowed time We never had one completely fail but could tell they were close by the way they were shifting. My last truck I traded ar 147 K and the transmission would hammer in certain situations. I didn't trust it anymore.

I have an '02, 194K miles. Original motor and trans. Been wondering what I'll do if one or the other takes a dump.

You can put a lot of transmissions in for $80k

Best transmission shop I know... GREAT GUYS... tell them I sent ya.

Roger and Mike keep a "Wall of shame" for the stuff I blow up... and then bring them. Just finished a billet 48RE for me... it will come with a "Leonard Proof" Warranty.

On the older 6.0 2500’s I’ve done 2 in the last 3 years that were $3,500. Just did a 2019 F-150 guy charged me $8k. No one made a reman 10sp and had to buy from ford directly. Had just paid $30k for the truck 8 weeks previous and My guy had only driven it a week or two. I hate fords.

My 2012 Silverado transmission went out at 130,000 miles. Also had to replace ball joints twice, blower motor, AC compressor, two steering racks, mass airflow censor, and the engine was beginning to sludge as well. All in all, I spent more on repairs over a few years than the truck was worth. The transmission was $4800. The transmission shop said 2010 and newer Chevrolet transmissions are one of the most common transmissions that he sees in his shop. When I was there, there were about fifty vehicles in the lot and a good 20-25 of them were GMs in that range. I got rid of it and bought a Toyota.
