I found a 2001 f250 7.3 2wd ext cab with 157k with bad trans for 6000 trans only has low 1 and reverse how much will a trany or a rebuild cost me and do you think its worth it thanks

 

Don't know how much a trans rebuilt would cost, but Kelly Blue . com www.kbb.com says it is worth about :
Condition Value

Excellent
$7,600

Good
$6,910

Fair
$6,030

That is with a manual trans .. that is working..with 157K miles

 

Iam not sure how you got thoses figures. I came up with
<TABLE id=priceCondition cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0><TBODY><TR><TD class=conditionSelected id=ctl00_ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolderBody_Conten tPlaceHolderMiddle_ContentPlaceHolderMiddle_rptVal ueSummary_ctl00_conditionColumn style="PADDING-LEFT: 6px">Excellent

$12,575

Iam going to sell a 99 f250 2wd soon and was looking to get 10k for it. This truck is in perfect shape. Anyway 6K is kinda high for a truck with that many miles and will need a trans.

 

A good trans rebuild from someone like BTS or John Wood will run about $4k, so keep that in mind when figuring things...

 

yes those are the kbb #'s I got I just figured if I could rebuild or replace the trans for around 2k then it may be a decent purchase

 

I think I payed 2300 for rebuild but '01 may take more hard parts and would be more

 

An '01 will more-than-likely have the mechanical diode, and if it does, there WILL be more hard parts involved.

There is approx $350-$400 more cost for parts to replace the one way clutch and associated parts.

The value depends on a lot of other things. Is it an XL, XLT, or Lariat. How's the rest of the truck? 157K isn't a lot of miles if it's been well cared for. The truck probably has been at least resonably cared for if the stock tranny made it to 157K. That's about 50K more than the average one lasts.

Bottom line is how do you feel about it? You're the one that has to put up the money.
