I bought a 1993 Chevy k2500 with 130,000 miles and rebuilt tranny for $500. Anyways, I finally got it home and started to nut and bolt a bit on it and discovered the flex plate is broken. I thought at first that it was a rod knock but upon further investigation appears the noise is coming out of the bell housing. The transmission was rebuilt in 2001 at 103,000 miles. The drum brakes needs some attention. The truck wasn't driven for two years and at least the front passenger brake is basically dragging.

1. Should I junk it? The scrap value is maybe more than I paid for it.

2. Should I fix it? Looking at $1500-2000 to get it roadworthy.

3. Should I sell it for what I got in it and let the next buyer know what they are getting?

I like having a truck, but $2000 right out of the gate makes me pause. Without knowing what kind of transmission repair it got over a decade ago and whether it was shoddy work that caused the flex plate to fail or if it was just a random failure.


I welcome opinions.
