| I am new to this forum so I will apologize in advance if I have missed this is another area. I recently purchased a 2005 3500 Chevy Silverado and I haven't had any problem so far. I have thought about getting the OnStar subscription. I was hoping that someone could shed some light on how effective OnStar is when it come s to detecting problems using the "diagnostic check". | |

I have a 2000 GMC Sierra 1500, 4.8L w/ towing package and I changed my transmission fluid and filter yesterday. I bought the new filter at advance auto and there were two sizes, shallow and deep. I bought the shallow filter, but after removing the old one, it looks like a deep filter. I went ahead and installed the shallow filter. Anybody think I need to replace it with the deep filter? I tow a small 17 foot ski boat about twice a month.

I have owned my Silverado for less than 90 days, and the transmission is now giving me problems. Specifically, it will no longer enter 3rd/4th gears. 1st, 2nd and Reverse work just fine. There are no abnormal noises coming from the transmission and the truck isn't acting differently than normal (other than the loss of 3rd & 4th). The transmission fluid is both dirty and low, but it is not burned. 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.

Replying to: obyone (Jun 26, 2008 2:52 am) 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. obyone said: "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." |
