While they have a transmission out, I told them to go ahead and replace the rear main seal.

Check out this guy. Seems that GM transmissions are a bit of a specialty for him. He pulls from more than one manufacturer.

Honestly, if my wife were on the road as yours is, I’d consider getting her a significantly newer, lower mileage (probably Japanese) vehicle. Feeling safe is only valuable until she’s on the side of the road at night by herself.

At 250k, it’s only a matter of time before it happens again.

My 2 cents.

In an earlier thread, we were looking for a 2016 or so Tahoe but after spending 6K on the trans, we’re going to keep the Tahoe for a good while.
