It sounds like the trans is going. Make sure the fulid is full and clean. Also, has the check engine light come on? It could be a sensor problem.

To have your trans rebuilt would be in the area ok 2K. If the truck is still in good condition and the engine is strong, the question is, can you replace it for that? It's hard for me to say without knowing the truck and its condition. You could check out what it's worh on Kelly Blue Book if that will help you make a decision. Their address is www.kbb.com

Let me know if you have other questions.

A general rebuild kit (clutches, seals, gaskets...) is usually around 200.
