ya When mine wouldnt shift out of first anymore I got lucky and it was just a bad gov pressure soleniod and sensor which are common failures on our trannies... in fact I've heard of them failing again 6 months after being replaced from getting plugged with contaminated... but even though I had no lights I had codes pointing to it when I hooked my reader up ...1741 code I believe... clunking into od could just be in need of band adjustment right?

 

Not sure it could be. (Im not a big transmission guy I know the basic's and that's really it) The first problem I had with it back before that sensor got replaced was I would be driving and then it would just act like it went in to neutral while driving. I figured the tranny was slipping. Turns out the tranny was droping back in to first gear when I would be going 50 MPH +. After he replaced the sensor it was fine, and now its starting to do that again.

 

Well I called up the local transmission shop and my truck is going in Feb 15 to find out what is wrong with the transmission. When they find out, they/I have to call the warrenty company up so they can send a dude out to Yay or Nah my warranty fix. So, I figure its going to take a day to figure out what is wrong, then 2 days to get the guy out there. I will be truck-less, with no way to work, but this has to be done. The warranty company will provide me with a rental if they approve the warranty fix. If the work that needs to be done will take 8 hours, I get a car for a day. If more then I get it for two days. I am trying to figure out what I will do for a car until they yay or nay it. I do have my motorcycle! But its like 30 degrees outside with ice and snow.

 

Truck is now in the Transmission shop getting looked at, the guy is going to call me later and give me the news.

 

So they are rebuilding the Transmission and I should have my truck back on friday with a freshly built transmission. Now I just have to do the plenmum gasket.... eh, at some point. lol

 

Got my truck back, and its like a whole new truck. Before when I would hit 60MPH on a flat straight road, it would be around 2100 RPM's. Now same road, same speed its around 1700 RPM's. And when going around 40MPH it wouldn't hit O/D, it would just chill around 1800. Now its at 1000. )) I am happy with this build.

And it comes with a 12 month, 13,000 mile warranty from the shop. I did have to pay 500 out of pocket, but my PVP warrnety covered the rest.

 

Sounds like a good re-build but thats not a lot of miles for a warranty. That is a years worth of driving give or take.

 

I'll do that in 8-9 months to be honest. But, its better than nothing. lol
