I have an 04 Denali with about 150k on it. A few months ago I had a tranny cooler leaked and burnt out the 3-4 clutch in the built transmission. The truck has been sitting aside from moving it around in the yard. I was doing the math and it's going to be more money to fix than it's worth. The tranny rebuild is only $500 but the R&R is $1200. If that was all it needed I'd go ahead and do it but between the bad ac compressor, needing tires for the stock wheels and the incontrollable rusting it's just going to be too much. I've got small spots of rust in the rockers arches and behind the wheels. Nothing horrible but I've already replaced metal, sandblasted, raptor lined, cavity waxed and repainted multiple times.
The truck has a ton done to it (listed below) and runs great but I'm going to be pulling the engine to put in my boat. Ideally I'd like to sell of the rest of the truck as a whole but I really have no idea what it's worth. I don't want to deal with parting it out. I know I'll never get back what I've put into it but there's a ton of good stock, aftermarket and custom parts in it. The transmission has less than 15k on it and has a bunch of of mods.
