I know a guy who bought a 2006ish Silverado and got ripped off on the price... then, like a month later, the 4L60e took a shit. Quotes to rebuild it, last time I talked to him, was around 4k! This is after he paid
$7,500 for the completely rust-eaten shitbox. I told him it was a ripoff, but he HAD to buy it to fit his Okanagan country image.
Now he drives it around in 1st gear where he floors it to get to redline, then coasts until traffic behind him catches up, drops it into first, floors it to redline, and coasts again.
Fuck automatic transmissions. Go with a manual and you can throw a used junkyard manual, on special you can get an entire transmission from Pick-N-Pull for $200, then add a fresh couple-hundred buck clutch in, fresh tranny oil, and you're good to go for under $500. Easily doable on a single weekend if you're even slightly prepared.
