Keeping my 01 4.4i for a long time. I plan on putting at least another 100k on it. I know about the tranny problems that others have had, but I'm not too worried. My mechanic told me he would rebuild it for 3000.00 dollars. Thats including labor. He just rebuilt one for this other guy. He didn't buy a rebuilt one, he did it himself. Said he puts in better parts and does something else to it, that is a better design then the rebuilt one. The guy said it is better then the original. We will see....
