AM.

I have close to 180k miles on it now. Tbh at this point I just want to see how long the truck will last since I won’t get much selling from it. Are the VC expensive ? I’m trying to see if it’s worth it to pay the extra to replace. I have maintained the suv very nicely, replaced all plugs, coils, water pump thermostat new tires etc. recently did the transmission oil change as well and replace my oil every 5k with liqui moly. That being said I can’t imagine this transmission will last much longer ? Thoughts ?
