getrag gone. blumenthal reman?

[NMARSH]

lost everything but fourth gear yesterday... has anyone dealt with Blumenthal transmission for reman getrags? their price was quite a bit lower than a shop rebuild price.

What was the price they quoted?? ... Was this for a G360 or an NV4500 for a conversion?... I am curious about Blumenthal too... I hope someone responds who has experience with one of their trannys.

the quote was for a 360. it was 1650. 00 plus shipping with 450. 00 core. considering they want a min of 2200. 00 to rebuild up here, I'm leaning toward Blumenthal.

I'm surprised you are not seriously investigating a NV4500 conversion. Its more money but I believe a better choice. You can do a forum search and get a lot of comments about other members experiences (including mine).



Just trying to help, Good Luck.

Have you checked with these guys?

and here they show a Getrag at $900 & $200 for the core, this is for a GM version but I would think the Cummins would be in that range.

Blumenthals is a well known place for the rebuilders. A lot of them get their parts there. Check out theirweb site.

well as always the information you can get on the tdr! i talked to advance adapters, and then to Dan at quad 4X4 so it looks like Friday i will be picking up my NV4500 and associated parts. the reason i didn't take this route in the first place is because its getting easier to r & r the getrag than it is to justify the extra cost to my wife! i think what saved me was when i made her crawl

under the truck and run the jack handle... i had just replaced my rear main and hadn't quite got the whole under side of the truck clean need less to say she wasn't very happy with me or the pickup. thanks.

Good Choice

Money always makes for a hard choice but sometimess its less costly in the long run to do what is right even if a little pricier up front. I think you made a good choice and I believe Quad 4x4 has a better package.

Hey Guys, just ordered an NV4500 from Blumenthal to do the conversion... Turns out it was only $1400 + a $450 core - thats cheaper than their G360... . So go ahead and get the heavy-duty conversion without the guilt trip and/or abuse from the wife.
