06 Dodge 3500 Transmission
The torque converter on my 06 Dodge went out December 20. When it went out it took out the transmission with it. I took it to the dealer and they wanted $5,500 to rebuild it so I took it to the Transmission shop I use and they rebuilt it with a heavy duty torque converter for $3,900. It took a little longer to get it rebuilt because of the holiday.
They told me I had beat the odds as that transmission has a history of going out at about 82,000 miles and it has 182,000 on it when it went out.

Mine went out at the Branson Mo. rally. Instead of fixing it I just bought a new truck in Branson.

Don,
The cost of these new trucks are like buying a new house when we were younger, keep it running until you can’t use it anymore

Re: 06 Dodge 3500 Transmission
One of my buddies didn't want me to take off for Alaska with 225,000 miles on my transmission. He R&Red it for me and had one of his friends go through it and upgrade all the internals. It worked fine, at that time, but when it was inspected, the 2-3 clutch was on its last legs. I'm now at 254,000 and it is working great. The whole job with better parts and a better converter and all five solenoids, cost me $1200 including fluid and all the extras that show up. My buddy didn't charge me any labor and the transmission rebuild labor was $250. The rest was for parts. I owe my buddy a great debt! We will see how long the transmission lasts. I plan to run the old truck until it collapses out from under me. Roy

Re: 06 Dodge 3500 Transmission
Roy I am hoping to get another 180,000 miles with this rebuilt transmission so at approximately 20,000 mpy (miles per year) that should get me to about 2026. I just hope I hold up that long.

Re: 06 Dodge 3500 Transmission
We both chose the White Gold color Roy. We selected it after ordering the new trailer, so we had a scheme in mind. Cindy is the "designer" in our family, and has a better eye for colors. She had not actually seen it on a vehicle until after I placed the order, but she likes our choice.
