All those points will be taken into consideration consideration. I'll have a gm tech 2 at the time of install.

I've lost track, but didn't you break a pump at one point? Was it in this transmission?
No that was in my 3rd Trans and was replaced and put back together by a shop.
I'm still just utterly impressed by your stamina and resilience.
Lol why.
Dude, I get mad and quit when I cross thread a bolt.
I just want to drive my truck, to much time and effort put into it to give up.
Always no bueno when there is no lube...
Now if the 5th blows up all hell is going to break loose.
I have no idea but he is going to warranty it.
After number 5, I will up my offer another $100.
I agree with others, ditch the radiator cooler run a stand alone.
Is your lock up wiring still not hooked up? While you have some time I'd recommend doing that. You don't have to use a new brake switch, it can be done with relay, that's how I've done it in the past

I think we're at 600 now.
$600, sheesh. I'll give you $750 for it. That's a 50% increase over my last offer. If that's not enough, I don't know what would be!
I spent $500 on my 700r4 to be built 4 years ago with a stage 2 transgo reprogramming kit, transtar rebuild kit, and the guy made me come over and help take it apart because he wanted me to learn.
I didn't replace the cooler, or even blow out the old cooler lines when I swapped it. (Didn't know it was a thing you should do at the time). And I have beat the piss out of it.
Stop getting boned by assholes Ben.

Because you are continuing to work on it, while people like me have moved onto other projects. My Suburban tranny has been non-op for more than a year. I'm now...um...10? 11? MONTHS into fiddling around with my K5's transmission conversion. I've chosen to spend my time on many other things (that I consider more worthwhile). While I don't think there's anything wrong with my decision, I tip my hat to someone who is actually solving his truck's problems persistently (instead of just thinking or dreaming about it). When I start the serious building in a few months I'm going to want this type of cheerleading. I'm going to need it,with my current working environment and limited tools it hasn't been as much fun as it used to be. You are an inspiration, Sir CaitlynTheTrannySquirrel.

It's posts like this that keep it going!
Not my first. But I wouldn't mind it being my last inspiration post in this thread.
Keep at it, Ben. We all want to see this thing running happily ever after.
Baba- You work at a dealership. I've said it before use that to your advantage. There should be a trans-flush machine on site. GM warranty requires any time a trans is pulled I have to provide proof of a flush by a code, even if we pull it to replace a torque converter input seal for a leak. There is NO way a couple of aerosol cans of "flush" is going to equal what a real flush machine pushing ATF though it. I'm not sure how your shop handles working on your own stuff, but mine we can bring in ours on Saturday afternoon.
Even if you pull it over on a trailer, it wouldn't take more than 30 minutes to flush it and KNOW it's clean prior to installing. Hell, if they don't let you use it on your time, just pay them to flush it. The half hour of labor it's going to run you is piddly in comparison to what you've already been through.
It's worth a shot. I'm betting other OEM's have similar requirements on flushing during trans repairs so your store probably has one.

This is exactly what I was thinking today at work. I just can't remember if the machine we have will pump fluid by itself or needs the trans pump to move fluid.
