| We took our 2001 duramax to the shop in the beginning of May, and still haven't gotten it back, now its 4 months later and no one knows whats wrong with it, still! Tranny has been rebuilt 3 times, getting the run around from alaska sales (the chevy dealer up here) and no tranny shops or any shops period other than alaska sales and the original shop that rebuilt it, WILL TOUCH IT. so we're kinda out of options. Have yet to meet anyone who could give any insight on our truck. As far as I know there are a few factory recalls on the 99-02 silverado's so if yall are havin problems with one of those i'd look the recalls up and the symptoms it that part was out or going out and maybe that'll fix your problem. One of the ones that has to do with the tranny is a part in the torque converter and the Park neutral saftey switch also. check it out, maybe it'll help you. | |

MY 2001 CHEVY SILVERADO HD ONLY DRIVES IN GEAR 1,2,3. IT I LIKE IT IS NOT ENGAGING IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. I CAN HEAR TRANSMISSION TURNING BUT TRUCK BARELY MOVES. COULD IT BE TORQUE CONVERTER. IT WENT INTO DRIVE AND REVERSE FOR A SECOND AND HASNT DONE IT AFTER THAT. OTHER THAN THAT IT DRIVES GREAT IN GEAR 1,2,3. |

| 2001, 5.3 , 77k+ miles;pulling small 5th wheel (under 4000 lbs) for about 5000-6000 miles over the last 5 years. problm: going up steep hill, does not want to shift to low gear. only happened twice- 1 year ago and again last week. Transmission mechanic says I have been lucky, its a Blazer transmission and could go any time. said get a smaller camper or a bigger truck | |

Here is the scoop...Love this truck! Never had problems. At 35500 miles the tranny started upshifting hard. Parked it at night hasn't done it since. Took to dealer, can't duplicate. Few days later, the reverse doesn't engage without extra human tricks like extra gas and working shifter in and out of gear. That happened twice. Took to dealer, can't duplicate. Ok we are still under warranty (plus extended) so we will continue to drive it till it fails. All seems ok untill it is driven to Houston and back about 80 miles round trip and the tranny overheats with a message from the DIC. Took to dealer ( real jerk service manager) didn't wanna deal with it because we didn't buy it from them so with a call to GM they changed their mind. Here is the warning. They claimed it was low on fluid. Bull shit! and their computer said change fluid and filter at our expense. This is the game. You say no and they win because you didn't do as they recommended. You do it yourself they will claim you voided warranty by screwing something up. Outsmart these cocksuckers. I said ok. Go for it. Yeah it sucks out of $135 for them to use us as guesswork diagnosis guinea pigs. Picked it up and we did the test drive. Didn't even make it to Houston before it overheated. Well its back at the dealer and they are gonna tear it down. I in the mean time I will gather weapons such as the ATSG manual and a current live data OBDII scanner. I will keep yall posted on the outcome. Thanks to all that post here, you have given me a weath of knowledge to go to war with these asses!

Hey all....I just picked up a 2004 GMC 2500HD 6L 4x4 a few days ago. I test drove it twice before I bought it. Here is my question. Should the tranny make a slight "honking" (cant describe it any other way) sound when taking off from a stop? It doesn't happen all the time and I never heard it when I test drove it. I have not towed anything as of yet. I also need to know what transmission is in it. Thanks! Mike

I have the following: 1996 Chevy Pickup truck V6 4.3L engine When I accelerate from 1st to 2nd gear (10-15 mph) I get this noticeable clunk noise. It all started on Monday (09-21-2009), it just started out of the blue. No gradual noises, no warnings. I believe it's coming from the transmission. And now, it's beginning to leak. I see wet spots under my truck that I've never seen before. What is this? Do I need a new transmission? I hope not, I don't have the expense for this. Any help would be appreicated. |

i have an 88 silverado 1500 with the 700 r 4 tranny. i pulled my buddy out of the mud and the next day it didnt want to shift itself into 1st. so i would be leaving stoplights in 2nd gear. it would only go into first if i shifted it manualy on the collum. then when i would come to a stop the truck would die. it only wants to run in park or neutral. i can can get it to move if i rev it up to about 1700 rpm and drop it into gear and once im moving its fine. i was told it was the torqe converter. does anyone else have any ideas or have had a similiar problem? it is a rebuilt tranny with only 3000 miles on it. thanks Nick |
