I've come across a possible good deal, but need some transmission, T-case opinions.
2001 Eddie Bauer, perfect body, good leather interior, 4.0L SOHC V6 (boo!), AWD, 143k , good tires, no timing chain noise. Owner states truck will not move in any gear. He parked it and doesn't know what's wrong with it. Selling cheap as-is and it hasn't sold in over 30 days. he's already reduced the price once.
I haven't seen the truck in person yet. I can see it later this week. Pictures look very good.
I don't really want a V6/AWD, but for the right price I may consider fixing it and flipping it to buy another 2WD V8 for my daughter.
I know that one reason these transmissions will not move in any gear is if the fluid is low. besides that, if the trans is bad i can get it rebuilt or swap it out for a used unit. My questions are, what is the average cost of rebuilding one of these trans? and is there something in the T-case which could cause this type of symptom? I really appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in advance for your help.
