Why does it cost that much? Because there are a lot of parts. Then they have to cover any future warranty work, etc. Here's a guide to reassemble one with a ton of pictures. http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f13/46re-tutorial-911009/
If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

OK, can someone explain to me why it cost 2k for a transmission rebuild in my 97-360/2wd truck?
Is there somewhere I can buy a rebuilt transmission outright for about $1000?
If you want to save money, pull it yourself and bring it in.
But doing it that way, it can't be scanned...
No you wont get a rebuilt 46re for anywhere near 100 bucks. it will likely cost over 2000 bucks anywhere. Sometimes over 3000.
Too bad you're not closer. I have one with maybe 200 miles on it that I am replacing with a 727. I just wont ship it.

damn when mine was done, I pulled it and took it to a trans place, it was under 750 to have that done, they had to replace the planetary gears set and clutches.

I realize there are allot of parts/sub assemblies, but from what I've looked at, a whole rebuild kit can be had for less than $200.
I guess if you consider warranty, then that could drive up the costs.
now add the cost of a bushing kit,band,gov sol and transducer,the od bearing and plate,the filter,torque converter all these are something a normal overhaul will need if is done correctly now add some ones labor and the cost of fluid and let the shop make a little profit to cover the warranty you get.

OH NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shops are never supposed to make profit on anything. (At least from what I gather reading threads on moparts)
There!, fixed your quote  ........I gladly paid the shop the $2200 they wanted to rebuild the piss poor designed/engineered POS transmission in my 99 Ram 4X4,....because it would have went to the scrapper before I would have wasted my time under it,....I can rebuild anything, and have for decades, but I draw the line working on piss poor designed crap,....the 94-up Dodge truck line drivelines are, and have been a joke for decades,....sad

The 46-47-48 series doge autos are not a junk design.
They were poorly assembled and set up with much too low pressures.
Get the clearances right and pressures right and they hold a lot of torque.
The faster chevy duramaxes are using this trans instead of the allison!!! The Cummins does not hurt them if set up right.
They are a basic 727 auto from the 60's with OD on it.
