My dad has a f150 2wd v6 6speed transmission and he was having some issues. He took it to a ford dealer and they said he needed a torque converter. The tech quoted him 2800 for the repair....sound high to me. I told him to call around and check some other places but wanted to get some of your guys advice? does that sound about right or too high?

I'd definitely get a second opinion on it through a reputable transmission shop on the diagnosis. Dealerships usually have high overhead on fancy buildings, but everyone uses pretty much the same book for billable hours of labor. So you just make a comparison based on parts and labor rates with the local transmission shops.

Last transmission (4L60E) I replaced was over 20 years ago and I got it for $1800 installed through a dealer with a 5 year 50K mile warranty through GM. I had the clutch replaced this year through the local Ford dealer and it was less than $2K on my 99 F250SD 7.3L.

I realize these aren't great comparisons but they are all I have to go by.

I'd take it elsewhere and ask. Doesnt take long to change out a convertor on a relatively new 2wd truck.

What did they say is wrong with convertor?

I talked to my dad and mom last night...they got their truck back with a new torque converter and they say it's fixed. His out the door price was $2300. Their covid stimulus check paid for it.

Thanks for you guys input.
