Hey btw, i appreciate the attention to detail on which bolts need to be taken off and tips and tricks
You got it, glad it helped! Best wishes on your rebuild if you tackle it 🙌🏻
Dang that intro threw me back into 2014 what a flash back haha. I like it.
Hahaha it’s time for a change… I’ve had that for way too long long but to lazy to change it lol, I guess I probably don’t need it 😂
It's also about the same for them to replace the camshaft and lifters. That's why I did that myself. Since my truck is at 250k.
I'm thinking i'm going to do a rebuild on my transmission also.
That sounds like a big job. You do headstuds at the same time?
Going to attempt to pull mine tomorrow to change out the flex plate. Im at 139k mile, with some weight loss mods. Is it worth doing a rebuild on the trans while i have it out so i dont have to do it again whenever that goes too?
It is kind of hard to say if you should or not. do you hot rod it or are you chill driver? If you do enjoy hot riding then definitely tearing it down and redoing some of the parts is worth it but if you just drive it normally a 68 can last a while. Mine had 300,000 on it and was still very drivable, I was just having pump issues when driving uphill for an extended period of time. If the transmission didn’t get too hot, it was totally fine. If it’s not broke, I wouldn’t try to fix it. I understand the flex plate concern. I upgraded mine to a billet one as well.
$5500 bucks? How much is a replacement Remanufactured Trans?
My local shop with non billet parts was 8k for a “heavy duty rebuild” that doesn’t include an upgraded valve body or torque converter.
10k on average I would say for a rebuilt reputable trans rebuild from Randy’s transmissions or WP diesel transmission.
