I just got off the phone with them as I’ll be sending mine out for a rebuild. Yes, Yank rebuilds their converters. Price starts at $500 and goes up from there depending on what needs to be replaced.

they have a form u can fill out on their website.

The man on the phone was super knowledgeable and was easy to work with.

It seems to me for that price, it would be more cost affective to purchase a new converter from them. JMHO, don't kill the messenger.

new converters are $1099. Rebuild is worth it.

I just had one done for my sons truck. $800 is what his cost. They said all the internals were trashed. Should be getting back to me any day now. Yank is my favorite street/race convertor

Wow. I bought my SS3600 in 2007/8 for $600 - $910 in today's dollars. So a nearly $200 bump on top of that. Seems like every day I get a fresh shock at the price of things; which is to say, seems like the rebuild is indeed the way to go.
