Transmission went out on my truck and I fixed it with a $180 junkyard part
Two Fridays back the transmission in my 2004 Silverado started slipping so bad I could barely get it up the hill by my house in Akron. Shop quoted me $3,100 for a rebuild, which is more than the truck is worth. I found a guy parting out the same model on a local Facebook group, pulled the unit myself with a buddy over a Saturday, and paid him $180 cash. It's been running smooth for 9 days now and I moved the $2,900 I would have spent into my emergency fund. Has anyone else gone junkyard parts over a rebuild and regretted it later, or does it usually hold up?
