Mr. Transmission says my 2002 f350 that i bought 2 months ago needs the transmission rebuilt, it slips and has a grinding noise. They quoted me $1388 plus tax, plus hard parts, plus fluid which im guessing total is going to be around $2000 :0 So what options do i have? other than spending the money on a rebuild ?

Two other options are to get one used from a salvage yard or learn to rebuild it yourself.

Danger Will Robinson Danger! You are getting ripped off. I just had the transmission in my 1999 F-350/Powerstroke rebuilt last year. The shop charged $1,500.00 for total job parts labor and 24 month/24,000 mile warranty. Get a second, third or even fourth quote. Was the truck new when you bought it? If so, go back to dealer. How many miles are on it now? Under 60,000, go back to dealer. Is it out of warranty? If not, go back to dealer. Want to get hosed? Go to Mr. Transmission.
Second option would be to get a transmission from a salvaged truck. 50/50 chance it will be worth the money.
Good Luck
