Couesdeer Report post Posted September 19, 2021 I am putting this out here because I know many of you are in the PHX area. I live in the Tucson area Yesterday, on the way to scout for my daughter's jr. Elk hunt, the transmission in my truck crapped out on the beeline, almost to Rye. AAA got me as far a Mesa last night. I am having trouble locating a trailer big enough to haul my pickup home. (03 silverado 2500hd, crew cab, long bed) I might be better off finding a good shop in the area (near bass pro) to have the transmission fixed rather than paying for a tow back here. Soooo... any recommendations? I am taking tomorrow off to get this taken care of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRDATR Report post Posted September 19, 2021 Justin Norpel. Transmissions Done Right is about two miles from there. Call him at 480-232-7702. He can probably give you a tow to his shop right by Tempe Market Place if not Chris Rollins will tow you and his number is 480 221-3384. Both of them will answer texts today.

daryl_s Report post Posted September 19, 2021 These guys have done a lot of work on my vehicles, including a transmission rebuild. I’ve always been happy with them. Definitely not open today though. http://www.randystransmissions.com/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ctafoya Report post Posted September 19, 2021 I used trail transmission recently in AJ. Did a good job for us. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Couesdeer Report post Posted September 19, 2021 I appreciate this! I think its going to be easier to get the job done up there than try to tow the rig to Tucson. Three good leads beats the heck out of going at it blind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Couesdeer Report post Posted September 21, 2021 Again, thanks all. I spoke with three different shops. Ended up going with Transmissions Done Right because he has a rebuilt 4L80 ready to go and can get to me this week. One shop wasn't going to be able to look at the truck until next week. I would like to have the truck ready for my daughter's elk hunt in early October. 240K miles... I have been expecting something like this! As much as it hurts financially, it is cheaper than a down payment on a new rig! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
