| Well it depends on the people who have owned the truck, pretty much with any vehicle, if you care for it, it will run well for a very long time. Routine maintenance, etc. We had the same problem, i actually posted about our truck on here too. Ours had an allison transmission in it, supposedly one of the toughest, if not THE toughest tranny there is, and it went out. Our truck is still not running because the guy we had rebuild it, didn't do it right and the gears are grinding putting metal through the valve body and into the fluid, clogging the valves. It currently is stuck in reverse mode and only has 3rd clutch and reverse clutch. I guess it just depends on the job, IF yours was rebuilt then the guy didn't do it right. It also could very well be an over-heating problem or an electrical problem. You can take it to a shop and most places will only charge an hours labor to see whats wrong with the truck. If it comes down to the tranny then you know. Better to be safe than put a ton more money into it and be sorry when you find out that wasn't the problem. Even if you have a buddy who has a scan tool that you can hook into it, If the truck has the ports for one, you can do it free that way, the computer will usually tell you if there are any electrical issues or for example and misfire, which would be a spark plug. vehicles that haven't been well cared for are a pain. Hope some of this helps! =) | |

| I own a 2000 Silverado 1500 4x4 with 125K miles. Here recently when I accelerate, the truck often revs up into the 3000 rpms, and and sounds like it's going, but the truck doesn't move. I have been assuming it must be the transmission, but could this be something else? | |
| Well I am having the transmission rebuilt.My mechanic said that tranny had NOT been rebuilt and gave me some tips for checking for that.You can bet next time I will.He told me my motor was good so I said just fix it then.He said the motor should last for another 100 to 300 thousand miles.So I am going to take the chance and see.Will let you all know what happens.I should have it back in about a week.The guy I bought it from really ripped me a big one.Oh the tips he told me were to look at the fluid on the tranny fluid..I did that but it was before I drove it.He said the guy probably just changed the fluid is all he did.He said check it before you drive it and after and smell of it to.If it smells like its burnt walk away unless you want to put a tranny in it..I hope that guy knows what comes around goes around..He also said if it shirfted smooth that you couldnt feel it that was bad to..He said you should be able to tell..to feel when it shifts ..maybe this will help someone else so they dont get ripped one like I did. | |
