My truck: 2011 Ram 2500 ccsb 5.7 hemi 545rfe trans. Bought it 6 months ago used with 143k miles, now has 149k.
So long story short, I've been trying to diagnose a rpm specific vibration which I hoped was u-joints (didn't resolve the issue), so now I'm at the point of possible transmission rebuild or swap. I got quoted $2500 to rebuild mine with a new torque converter. Does that seem high, low, or the going rate? I have looked and found remanufactured transmissions for $1500-$1600, would that be a better route? Any other input or ideas, or anything I should do while redoing the trans? Thanks for any and all input.
