Decide on a particular model from the TRANSMISSIONS page and contact us through the CONTACT US page for availability. If unsure which model is best for you, then email us and we can discuss. Remember to include Year, Model, Engine, any injector/turbo modifications, and 2wd/4wd details in your email. We try to always have the most popular units available at all times.
We split time between Southeastern PA and Northern DE, and are available by appointment almost anytime. We do not ship, and probably never will, so all sales are conducted in our area, with rare exceptions.
We do not remove or install transmissions at this time. Therefore, our transaction model is a straight-up swap.
Your transmission core must be a rebuildable "like" core. That means, no broken bellhousings, cracked cases, crushed bypass tubes, broken speed sensors, missing extension housings, etc. Everything you bring us must be rebuildable, and it must have come from behind the same engine we are providing a rebuilt unit for (we will not give you a diesel unit in exchange for a gasoline core). Cores are required at time of sale as we do not offer loans.
Once your transmission is out of the truck, we will request full length pictures of it from both sides. This helps us verify the condition of the case, and also to ensure you are not giving us parts we are not giving you.
It is best to let us tell you what to remove via the pictures instead of you removing everything. Final inspection will occur when we meet. To get a good headstart, use this video for guidance.
While most customers install their new units within a few days of purchase, we know that some project trucks can take a bit longer. For the new units that might wind up sitting a while before install, we can wrap them in plastic wrap to help keep foreign matter and moisture out of them. ATF absorbs moisture, so it is very important to keep moisture out of the transmission!

Your TC core must be a rebuildable "like" core. That means, no broken internals or exterior damage. Because of the nature of the TC, any broken internals (such as thrust bearings or turbine hub rivets) will most likely have destroyed the entire inner workings once they come loose and rattle around inside. It's kind of like how a little bird can completely take out a jet plane engine - first a little part breaks off, then that little part takes out a bigger part, and so on.
There will be a charge for a non-rebuildable core. The TC core must have come from behind the same engine we are providing a rebuilt unit for. 6.0 TC cores will not be accepted in exchange for a 7.3 TC core. 5.4 TC cores will not be accepted either. A 6.0/7.3 hybrid (the so-called "low-stall 7.3 TC") can only be exchanged for another just like it. This TC is basically a 6.0 unit with a 7.3 front cover on it. Cores are required at time of sale as we do not offer loans.

In the event your core is missing expected parts (as shown to me in the pictures I request), or certain parts are found to be broken and/or non-rebuildable upon inspection, or if you simply just need to buy some parts with your new transmission, the following prices will be charged:
Diesel Case non-PTO (cracked, broken, or damaged in any way) $900
Gasoline Case non-PTO (cracked, broken, or damaged in any way) $300
Broken PTO cases will not be accepted for any amount of money $----
If there appears to be too many helicoils in the case, I will probably refuse the core altogether.
Torque Converter (loose parts inside, inoperable turbine hub, non-rebuildable) $200
Pump, extension housing $200
Broken fwd drum, coast drum, direct drum, Bypass tube $100
Center shaft, output shaft , Input shaft $100
DTR sensor $60
Speed sensor $50 each
Lower dipstick tube, shift bracket, banjo bolts $40
Keep in mind that none of this should be a surprise when we meet, and that the time to discover these added costs should be when you send me the pictures I request, not when we meet for the sale. Be honest about the condition of your core, it will save a lot of time and hassle.
