what do I have to replace

[ChuckyB]

I bought a 93 GMC sub that has very little rust on the skins. I got to driving it for a bit and looking into the small motor issues, but at 56 miles the tranny pump whent out. I verrified that by going down the check list and yup, the fluid lvl dosen't change. I was just wondering since I must change the pump, I would be smart to do a rebuild on it. But are there any issues that a pump fragging that should be looked at ( IE: damage, steel going where it should not go, Ect). It is a 1993 1500k 4WD GMC Suburban with about 251 K on the odometer. Any help or ideas would be greatly aprecatied. Sorry about the Coors spelling =)

I'd do a full rebuild at this point.

thank you for the advice so far. I was trying to figgure out how to rebuild it with resonable upgrades. I look at what can be done with these trans and it gets verry impressive and my man mind is like "YHEA, BIGGER, BETTER, MORRREE. But then in comes Momma ( wife ) with the reality that I just need it to get through a few drifts in winter and to take the boys camping. What are the best upgrades in reliability to the tranny being rebuilt. IEBeast sun shell) how often dose the OEM part fail,(Corvet servos), it would seem to me that the extra clamping force would extend the life of the clutches. I was a 63HM5 (Track Veichael Mechanic) back in the 90's, but the things I worked on were not quite the thing I'm playing with now =) Guide me on my way in this silly suburban world. lol
