Trucks Back / Transmission update: P0876 code
Well I got the truck back today. I hope it stays working. The problem, my transmission solenoid was frozen. Would not allow the truck to go through the gears and kept it in 3rd the whole time. Nothing major, thank God. Now for future searching I am going to detail the problem and the fix.
Problem:
While Driving and in OD, truck downshifts to 3rd real hard, check engine light on and beeping. As long as truck is in drive, you are in 3rd, even when you come to a complete stop. I was able to force it into 2nd a couple of times with the shifter however 1st and OD wasn't grabbing. I was able to get into reverse, but went in kinda hard as well. Code: P0876 found on scanner
Fix:
Replace transmission solenoid. According to the dealer they dropped the trans pan and valve body assembly. Replaced solenoid. Reassembled, topped fluids, road tested.
I am not a tranny guy, so this is the best I can do on the explanation.
NOW I WANT MY AIR HORNS!!!!!! I get them tomorrow... [sm=happy046.gif]
