Truck Transmissions Demystified: Rebuilt, Remanufactured, or New – What’s Right for You?

Rebuilt vs. New vs. Remanufactured Transmissions: What’s Best for Your Truck?

Hey there, fellow truck enthusiasts! Choosing the right transmission for your truck can feel like navigating a minefield of options. New? Rebuilt? Remanufactured? It’s enough to make your head spin! But don’t worry, we’re here to break it all down for you.

Let's Talk Transmissions!

Whether you’re a seasoned gearhead or a truck owner just trying to keep your rig on the road, understanding your transmission options is crucial.

1. Rebuilt Transmissions

Think of a rebuilt transmission as a classic car restoration. At TTS, we take your existing transmission, completely disassemble it, and replace any worn or damaged parts with high-quality components. It's like giving your transmission a new lease on life, often achieving a lifespan of 75,000 to 100,000 miles or more, rivaling remanufactured options. However, it's important to note that poorly rebuilt transmissions from less reputable shops might not last as long.

2. Remanufactured Transmissions

Remanufactured transmissions take things a step further. These transmissions undergo a rigorous industrial process where they are completely disassembled, inspected, and rebuilt to meet or exceed original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications. Think of it like buying a factory-fresh transmission, often exceeding 100,000 miles.

3. New Transmissions

As you might guess, a new transmission is exactly that—brand spanking new! You'll get the peace of mind that comes with a factory-fresh unit, potentially lasting the entire lifespan of your truck. However, be prepared to shell out a pretty penny, as new transmissions come with a premium price tag.
