ssglass Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 i was told from joe that the dealer would just replace my transmission, because gm wouldnt allow them to rebuild it , but they did try and rebuild it. and it still slips under load, the service manager told me that it is not a race truck, but a street truck and i should drive it easier and if i see the trans temperature getting hot i should pull over and let it cool down and then drive more. they said it was out of there hands and that i should bring it back after it breaks again, i called chevy and they scheduled another appointment with the same dealer and will contact me again on monday. i guess we'll see what happens next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_a_n_payne Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 My dealer replaced mine and now when I floor it from a dead stop it bogs down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 it doesn't matter if it's a race truck or street truck. you didn't pay that much for a truck that you can't go wide open with. i'd tell that service manager to shove his opinion up his *** and fix your truck right.

fordsareslow Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Ask the dealer if you are able to tow the advertised towing capacity I would think doing that is worse for the truck than getting on the throttle once in a while, especially if your towing that big load up a hill.

Jonmalibuss Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Find a new dealer! I had ford try and tell me that same line of crap once when I had some trans problems with an 01 f-150 I had and they told me I was driving it too hard! LOL isn't that why the PCM has fail safes programmed in??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
