mine shifts out of OD on a hill as is normally expected but then will not shift back into OD and then will shift hard thur gears at each stop.
Must stop truck turn off engine for about 30 sec. start up and every thing is fine.
Have a great Chevy truck day!!
A perfectionist should not buy a used Chevy truck, you have to expect problems every day or so, you must just learn to live with them and fix them when they get so bad the truck will not long go.
I do not believe this is the life style of a perfectionist, I should know I have a son who is the same way, he bought a used Ford truck with 60K, I could not believe it. But he still drives it and is always asking me to listen for some unknown rattle or noise, as a Chevy truck owner, I say do not worry about it until you think the wheel is about to come off.

otherwise:
might check wire to #5, could be shorting out on something,
cheap fix, replace number 5 wire and plug could
When my trans acts up I stop, turn engine off for 30 sec. problem clears up and on I go, mine problem is some type electrial issue and your may be to as when it clears trans works ok, trans would never work ok if you had internal gear/clutch problems.
the trans slips shfting into second at slow speeds after it heats up.
if you accelerate fast it shifts fine.
i had it flushed at 75000 miles but they did not change the filter.
could the filter be causing this probloum.
thanks Joe
I'm surprised that they would reinstall the old trans filter. I mean its the same as changing your engine oil and leaving the old filter in place.
THANKS
Could it be a clutch or oil pump problem? Or do I need to get a transmission job.
To make a long story short, it first turns out all 3 transmission lines to the cooler are leaking at the cooler. Is this possible for a truck only 2 years old and with 45k miles. Being ALL 3 lines went bad, doesn't it seem a bit sketchy???
Second, they had to replace a glow plug and when they got done with that, it still had a code problem. The truck had a recall on the plugs this past year that I had taking care of. Could the recall not have been in time and have caused damage to the engine????
I'm VERY upset with this truck so far, as I have had owned many gm trucks but never have had so many problems. I don't even really use this truck as a work truck as I did with my others.
any one out there with any information I may find amusing about the problems I'm having??

The dealer said that my transmission was full of metal shavings on all of the clutches.
Whats up with your glow plugs?
I agree, if high miles, I would not flush, just drain oil and replace filter, clean any visible material/gunk in pan area.
replace with gm quality oil. about 6 qts.
again, in 10k you can pull pan change 6qts and you will have most of the oil in trans changed.
to change to synthetic oil you need to clean trans, this would require sometype of flush and clean before adding new oil.
It went into limp mode, transmission goes to 2nd gear and you can limp home.
guess that's why they call it that.
Hate to say it: probably will happen again, you may not be so lucky next time, depending on your location.
since truck is so new, might have transmission flushed, pull pan and look for metal particles in oil or on magnet, change filter.
Install a good quality synthetic oil
worth a try!!
The word was that one oilfield company up there had 80 of these units and over 30 of them had this happen that week!

Thanks in advance,

Any suggestions? I've read about a throttle position sensor, is this on the tranny or under the hood? Would this cause this? The shop i use did a filter and fluid change 2 days ago and recommended a new trans. If the thing shifts up with no load, could it be some sensor? They also said they didn't get any codes, seems not uncommon for this trans. 460le i think.
Thnaks in advance,
Maine Chevy owner

no DTCs for the transmission. :confuse:
but every so often starting from A stop it will
seem to hesitate in the tranny. almost like the
the brakes stick.Any one have A problem like
this?
I am hoping maybe another owner can help.
Thanks
The tranny slips only when hot and at low rpm when shifting from first to second.
on fast acelration it shifts fine.this only happens from first to second and only when hot on low aceration.trans was flushed but no change.
thanks for any help
Joe
