ON GOING SAGA---48RE

[shorty]

Remember a couple of weeks ago I reported about the great guys and good work at PATC in Bossier City La? The tranny shifted great and ran well----for 1,000 miles---then it smoked. Slipping from low to second and then would barley move. Called Chris at PATC and he got in touch with a shop in Richmond Texas that is a vendor for their parts. Century Automotive & Transmission (Home | Century Transmission | Century Transmission) had my truck towed and found the problem. PATC in an effort to save me money as the bill had climbed from $1400 to almost 3 grand rebuild the entire tranny with the exception of the overdrive. Huge mistake as it was bad and stopped up the filter and burned the rest of the clutches and bands to a smelly crisp. Truck was hauled on Monday night and by Wednesday Century had all the parts, less the torque converter send back for rebuilding to PATC, sent overnight from PATC. Thursday Century received the rebuilt converter and Monday evening I picked up my truck. My cost? Zero, PATC provided all the parts, rebuilt converter, labor and wrecker fee. They said in the effort to save me money they overlooked the overdrive and therefore it was their fault. My friends, you can’t get any better than this. There is still integrity in the South which is a far cry from the LYING Rusty at TCS that caused all of the tranny problems in the 1st place. Putting a 10â€￾ converter in place of a 13â€￾ caused excessive heat. Did Rusty offer to fix anything----NO. :chain:
Real men when they make mistakes own up to it and do what is right. :rock: Remember---right is right and wrong never is. :rock:

Glad they admitted the decisions they made during the rebuild and stood behind there work. Now if the tranny lives you have a real good shop there :burnout:

Its nice to see there are still shops out there with integrity. Covering tow charge was nice to.

 

[SRT2SLOW]

Just put a 6 speed it and call it a day.

 

[phxpoolguy]

Maybe hold judgement till you put some miles on it might be a good idea.

Great to hear Shorty! :rock:
Yes indeed there are great folks in the South for sure. Really terrible you've had such luck with thiat tranny but I feel confident in the rebuild this go round. If something happens now its getting a 4L80 or a good ole fashioned Turbo400:drool:

6 speed

6 speed

I hear ya but with my left knee a plastic replacement, pumping the clutch on an ongoing basis is out of the question. Probably go with a replacement as Scott recommends. He has never led me astray :rock:so will follow his advice.

I forgot about that.

I would definitely not keep throwing money at the 48re if it doesn't stay right this time. IMO

I will not, probably go with the 4L80 as VENOMOUS1 recommended.
