Decent transmission rebuilder to get a rebuilt/ Reman 6L80E

[matt167]

I’ve been looking for an inexpensive truck for a while to replace my wife’s deteriorating ‘15 Ram 1500 and I’ve asked the sales managers at work to keep an eye out and consideration for something that would wholesale otherwise. They haven’t had much, but today had a service customer sell his truck for $100 because it needs a transmission and he didn’t have a way to get it home. It’s a 2012 Sierra 1500 that is pretty close to immaculate but does have 230k miles. Transmission mechanic that worked on it, said the truck was worth putting money in. My cost for the truck is $600, and the local value for such truck is in the $8-10k range on the high end so I could spend some money and still be okay.

My cost for a GM transmission across the parts counter is $4200
Monster Transmission is $2500
Used is $1500ish locally thru Fenix

Are there any other rebuilders that anyone has used?

I have a guy, but he is now living in Vegas. go with the billet torque converter from Sonnex on the rebuild. the stock stuff and re reman TCs from GM are chit

I’ve always rebuilt my own after as a young man, getting junk yard transmissions and having those fail also it pretty much sucked. It’s a big learning curve and intimidating but worth it in the long run, no more failures. I’ve rebuilt several for family and friends also. Not doing that anymore unless I have to for myself again.

on LS1Tech, there is Franks Custom Trans. https://www.facebook.com/frankscustomtransmissions/ that appears to know his stuff. would be worth reaching out.

I am going to try Jasper Engines & Transmissions.
My favorite mechanic said they were decent and would install it for me.
