    Transmission Rebuild, Collapsed Lifter Debacle - Opinions Needed

    I wish you'd have seen this sooner as well . Great info and I really appreciate the responses from everyone. Got the Tahoe back from the engine shop with a ~$5k OTD bill. Wifey is angling for a new ride after the rentals during this fiasco spoiled her, but we'll probably hang onto the Tahoe...

    Bit the bullet yesterday afternoon and paid the trans shop. Had the Tahoe picked up and towed to a trusted shop who is diagnosing. They verbally quoted ~$2,750 to replace lifters (plus any needed pushrods), and ~$8,500 if they determined the cam lobe to be damaged. Fingers crossed for less...

    Transmission Rebuild, Collapsed Lifter Debacle - Opinions Needed

    Hello All! I've done quite a bit of reading through various threads here and based on my somewhat unique situation, want to seek opinions on what has transpired and options to consider from where I'm at. Long, winding, story short......started feeling loss of power/shudder under load on our...
