My ex wife and I had a 06 Trailblazer Ext with the 5.3... On the way home from the Nats/Phillies game in D.C. started making a bunch of noise and running like crap. Spun a bearing. $6k for a Jasper. Owed too much on it to let it go.

$3K for a diffy and $6K was for a tranny? That's a crap-ton of money.

$6k for a Jasper remanufactured engine.

[GburgNatsFan]

Friend of mine choked up $2,900 for his 2007 Yukon differential a few years ago, so I guess that's about the going rate...

[GburgNatsFan]

I guess. I know there's a lot of skill involved in rebuilding them, and they are probably limited slip, electronically controlled, etc.

Still though. $3K for a diffy. Man.
