is it worth it?
Hi everyone I'm looking for some honest advice,
I purchased my truck about a month ago and discovered that the transmission is starting to slip and shutter.
Its the E40D trans and the 5.0L V8.
I was quoted $2000 for a complete trans rebuild so I'm wondering is it worth it or should I cut my loses and buy another truck?
Thanks in advance.

You don't need a rebuild till it stops working.

The E4OD is a good transmission. Stock they served me well. If you take it to a reputable shop and have rebuilt, it will last for quite a while. My E4 has had considerable custom work done to it and its tuff as nails. The p.o. only spent $1300 to have it done. Mind you it shifts hard under substantial throttle (cushion plates removed in favor of more clutches) but I was able to get rubber into third.
