[QUOTE="hotrodpc, post: 3408, member: 27"] BTW, I forgot to mention, this is a pretty tough gig here when you talk about building them and selling them. For a couple of different reasons... Now you can get by with this on Th350 and Th400's fairly easy, but model application becomes an issue on the 700r4's and 4L60-E's. For example, 95 4L60-E's are pretty much a 1 year only. This is due to PWM pumps aka Pulse Width Modulation. Also the wiring for the electronics varies per model of vehicle and per year. So just to build any 4L60-E and think you're going to sell it, and take their core in on trade, then it may not work for their year and model application. For this reason, if you did a drop-off/pick up service. They drop it off, collect 1/2 your charge at that time, then they pay the other 1/2 when they pick it up a couple days later completed. But, do still be collecting cores because hard parts aren't cheap if you need to replace broken parts. You might spend $100 in used broken replacement hard parts, when you could have bought a core for $25-$75 or maybe even $100 and then you end up with a collection of spare hard parts and you make profit on those too. Another reason it doesn't work is, you'll need to offer a warranty of some kind. If you're letting them re install them, you're hoping they get a new converter as well as install it properly or you're going to get the blame for it's short lived life.
