Flush,or drain. I'm not having any issues with truck. Truck has 19k
on it.
Thanks
Looking forward to hearing about your success.
The only warning of this issue I received was the transmission hunting between 3rd and 4th and the idiot lights coming on for hot transmission (first the warning, then the critical). When I saw the critical, I shifted to neutral and coasted until it went out (I was on a freeway with no lane in which to stop).
Any idea what is wrong? Obviously, I'd like to not replace the transmission.
Thanks for any help.
Thanks,
I took it to a local AAMCO, and they said there was fine metal in the pan. They wanted an additional $479 to dismount it, crack the case, and see what was wrong. Although I thought that was fairly reasonable, 1) I don't have a spare $479 at the moment and 2) I am ultimately going to replace it with a beefed up one, so I'm not going to fool with it for now.
Thanks.

"Over heated with low and dirty fluid and the truck is 9 years old. I'd say you're in for at least an overhaul."
That said, it's important to note that I'm a regular customer at the dealership. We have all of the maintenance for the truck and my wife's GTO done at the dealership—oil changes, new tires, unscheduled maintenance, everything. They made a point of mentioning that this was a factor in their decision to pay for the repair. They figure that it'll pay dividends when I purchase my next truck and, quite frankly, they're right. I'm fortunate to have a good dealer and I'll buy from them again.
I just purchased a non-operational 1994 Chevy Silverado with an automatic transmission. I purchased this vehicle to learn about automobiles and will be attending a Intro to Automotives course at a local community college in the fall. But anyway, when I put the truck into drive and hit 10 mph or more, I hear a rattle (sounds like a loose bolt in a pan, between the transmission and rear axle. As I slow down it quiets the problem. I'm thinking about taking it to the local AAMCO station for a transmission test. Does anyone have any other suggestions.
Thx
P.S. I changed fuel filter today but itt give no more.
I have a 1996 Z-71, I think the transmission is a L-60. My original just quit shifting from 2nd to 3rd, so I had it rebuilt. The rebuild lasted 15,000 miles, started doing the same thing again. I had a different rebuilt one installed, by a different man, and it did the same thing after maybe, 500 miles. Now I have had my original one rebuilt again, same guy that has installed the different rebuilt, and he is ready to install it tomorrow. August 17, 2008.
Now my question!!!
Is it possible that there is something in the electronics of the truck, that isn't actually in the transmission, that is causing it to stop shifting? OR is it definately, maybe some kind of controller that is in the transmission? And how can I find out? Or is it most likely that it is something to do with the rebuilder? I don't want this rebuild that is to be installed tomorrow, to do the same thing. I need to know if I need to be checking something besides just what is in the transmission. And, besides, I don't know how, and probably neither does that transmission man, how to check any of the electronic parts in the transmission, or in the truck itself.
It's almost midnight, saturday, and Im beat. I hope this letter can be understood, and hope some kind person can give me some advice on this problem. I surely don't want this man to have to rebuild it a third time. Especially if it is something in the truck, and not some kind of controller on the transmission.
Heck, I don't know. Please help!!!!
'thanks a million!

less than a 1,000 miles later it began happening again. Now they tell me its "normal"
My 2004 GMC Sierra 2500HD 4 x 4 looses power when my transmission temp gets between 180-200 degrees. It only gets hot on the hot summer days or when I tow my boat. There is also an unusual noise(higher RPM?) in the transmission when I take off after sitting a controlled intersection. I get my vehicle serviced on a regular basis. I have yet to take it into a dealer..any ideas?
I have a 1995 Chevy K1500, and I think possibly the transmission is going. It drives fine until about 45-50 mph, and then it starts hesitating the more I press the accelerator -- it feels like the engine is cutting out, but the rpm or even the sound of the engine doesn't change.
I changed the transmission fluid and filter, added some non-slip additive, replaced the fuel filter, redid all the ignition wiring, replaced the rotor and coil + spark plugs, and replaced the oil in the differential, but with no luck. Any help would be much appreciated. :sick:
The normal answer that they usually give is that the drive train is new so you need to give it up to 10K miles to break in. If that were true GM wouldn't have come out with a special additive for the rear end.
Since no two dealerships are the same you might want to take your truck to another dealer or take the current service manager out on a test drive to verify that it actually does clunk. It would be hard to deny the clunk with him in the truck though I've seen them try.
