And you can't say tranny either! I agree the 4LSLIPPY is like the most prolific transmission out there. And this guy is in his 50's and claims to have been doing this for decades. So I really don't know whats going on.
Hopefully he didn't pull the junkyard core with the rattle can silver cast alum and called her rebuilt!! Used torque converter and all!! He giving you some sort of written warranty correct?? I'd call and file a complaint with my credit card company on him. I get sick and tired of seeing folks get finger banged, no lube, not even spit right in their wallet!! Haha!! This thread getting me all wound up!!

Well I have an RO with 2 yr Unlimited Mile Warranty written on it. Also a list of parts and a $300 core charge.

In for an update!?! Or an afternoon laugh?? Are we certain he's working on the trans n not your muffler!?!
Ever heard "Header Ping"? Install a new set of thin wall headers and wonder what that pinging noise is? LOL! I've no clue other than 3 guys and some Hotline Tech are chasing a noise they believe is coming from the transmission. He did say after replacing the pump it was quieter. But now he's just given up and is going to swap out the whole rebuilt transmission. With a new/different TC, pump, and valve body. I believe he uses the PDQ Rebuild Kits. So, I imagine I won't hear from him until afternoon. (PST)

I knew this thread would deliver a good time!!

Just out of curiosity, post up the shop name or something. I'd like to add more depth to this saga and I'm sure the forum wants to know!!

Not now. Never can tell who's reading this. Maybe later. Besides, if this guy does get it fixed and it's just one of those things that could've stumped anyone I don't want to ruin his business.

However, the last place that ripped me and several others off apparently has opened another shop under a different name somewhere in the Sacramento area. His name is Tony and that shop's name was Liberty Transmission in Rocklin Ca.

I see no need to trash talk a shop that’s going way out of their way to take care of a customer, if that’s what you’re suggesting.

It was just for reference. I wanted to look up their reviews on Google. I understand they are trying to fix their mistake, which has turned into way more now.

Send @YukonRog a PM and inquire that way. No need to do it on the open forum where it will live for eternity.

It's not a big deal. I was just curious about the reviews. I have moved on since my lunch time boredom. I agree with you, I didn't stop to think how that comment came across. Shops make mistakes and according to the OP, this one has the whole crew working on the rig trying to get it right.
