Your transmission is shot, which means that you have a big decision to make: rebuild it or replace it. This isn’t the easiest decision to make, so we have a list of things for you to look at. You can make an educated decision about your transmission to get your truck back on the road.

Transmission Rebuild vs. Replace: What To Consider?

The Level of Damage

How badly is your transmission damaged? This is one of the most important (and one of the most expensive) parts that can go wrong with your diesel truck. Diagnostics can be run to let you know just what is wrong with it. You may be beyond a basic repair, which means that you’re replacing the bare minimum number of parts.

It’s best to avoid a “repair” when things are bad because it could mean that it’s a never-ending list of repairs that need to be made. To stay out of the repair shop for a while, your best bet is a rebuild.

The Cost of Replacement

Replacing your transmission is going to be the most expensive option. If you have the money to throw at your truck, it might be an option to consider. One of the reasons why you’re spending this is to ensure that everything is being replaced. Particularly if the transmission is so damaged that it will even be costly for a rebuild, it might be the route to take.

The Quality of the Repair

When you choose a rebuild, it’s not being done in a factory setting. You can ensure that you know the integrity of every gasket, seal, and band that is going into it. If there are certain OEM brands that you want to be used, it can be taken care of with a rebuild. You don’t get a say when a factory technician provides a replacement.

In most instances, a rebuild is going to be the best bet for you. We’re here to help you every step of the way. Send us a message and we can work to get you a free quote.

Customer Reviews

"Longhorn Diesel was suggested to me by another service provider that didn’t have the equipment needed to perform the repairs my 3500 Dodge needed. First let me say they kept me informed, were fair on price and got my vehicle back to me in a timely manner. They were professional and had my truck back to me in pristine condition while finding other issues that were not identified. They also sent me video of the issue showing me the required work done and new issue identified."

Easily the top diesel mechanic in Houston.  Denmar and Longhorn Diesel have serviced my truck (2015 Duramax) for 2+ years, and the work, service, communication and pricing are excellent.  This is the only place I trust with my truck.  I highly recommend Longhorn Diesel!  Many thanks to you and your team, Denmar!

These guys do awesome work, Denmar is a honest gentleman & takes time out with each & every one of his customers. They went above & beyond of what I paid for, to make sure my truck was in safe & good operating condition at no additional charge! As I'm not looking forward to any more repairs, when that time does come again I will definitely be right back at Longhorn Diesel👍🏼!

After about 10 shops telling me no or giving me an unrealistic price. I came across Longhorn Diesel. I called Denmar and he was very down to earth and you can tell by how he talks that he isn’t your typical diesel mechanic. He genuinely took the time to get my truck right as well as him and I having a great conversation sharing what we both love to do. I would 110% recommend him to everybody I know of. Down to earth guy. Great business. Fair pricing. All around great business and I will be back.
