The rebuilt box was about $1550 including freight but there is a $400 core refund when the old box is sent back to them. I netted about $315 on the core since I had to pay the freight. The box weighs about 90 pounds. Labor, fluid, and miscellaneous parts was almost $1000. I used Richard Parks Truck Repair in Dothan, AL. They did a good job but it might have gone quicker if they had a pit or lift so they didn't have to lay on the floor to do the work. My box was removed by cutting a part of the square tubing bracing the fiberglass front end and dropping the box out the bottom of the chassis. They welded tabs on the cut piece of tubing and bolted it back in place so they wouldn't have to disconnect all the electronics in order to weld the piece back on. Someone told me that their box was removed through the front run bay which would prevent cutting the square tubing.
