You'll remember my Tranny leak two months back.
Well , running low on juice for whoever knows for how long, did some damage cause tweaks back it finally stopped working.
The only local guy who knows these trucks quoted me $5500 for a used, $6700 for a rebuild and $9500 for new.
:shock:
For a truck I want to sell in 2 months. :!: :!:
Went online and found theses guys..

They quoted me $1900 plus tax to rebuild it at their location. So I had my local guy tow it over. A week and a half later I pick it up. Runs fine.
Next day I get a call while out on a ride, the guys turn on the PTO and pow, tranny fluid everywhere.
Long story short they come and tow it back to their location and find a PTO hose not connected. They swear up and down they never dealt with that particualr hose. "we think it was the original company who diagnosed it.."
I talked to them and they say they only looked at the metal in the fluid to come to their conclusion and estimates..
Second company wants help with the tow bill...
After reading those reviews I would have to deduct that the mechanic is guilty and covering his ass.
Ill talk to them tomorrow.
anyways..
anyone want to buy a Vortex with a fresh tranny and lots of history for $25 k?
