I did not, and I specifically asked them if it was a brand new transmission going in the truck and they told me it was. On top of all that they never replaced the hoses they never replace the cooler. All of that is contaminated.. and it states in the work order that they did…… Stellantis is blowing me off
Hello.I did not, and I specifically asked them if it was a brand new transmission going in the truck and they told me it was. On top of all that they never replaced the hoses they never replace the cooler. All of that is contaminated.. and it states in the work order that they did…… Stellantis is blowing me off!
I wouldn't be worried that much about the cooler being contaminated. Even if it is, it's not that much, and all the particles will return back to the sump, where, before the oil gets sucked in by the pump, the particles will be caught by the filter on the suction side. And slowly with time your cooler will get flushed. One thing what I would do, is get the dealership to do an oil+filter change about 1000-2000 miles after the "new" transmission install. Then another one about 5 thousand after, mostly to inspect the magnets and confirm that everything is ok, that's all. And also ask for the transmission to be covered by warranty 100% same as the rest of the truck.
Yes, it's a bit unpleasant to have a remanufactured transmission on a $100+ thousand truck, but also let's remember how many people rebuild their burnt transmissions with just a rebuild kit in their garages and live happily ever after.
