I took my ride to the local dealership to get the cold weather option activated, the mechanic asked me if I had any problems with my tranny shifting, I told him it would shift into OD at low speeds but I would lock out overdrive until highway speeds. He told me to bring it in for service and he would activate to cold weather option and download some computer upgrades that might help with shifting. To make a long story short, the dealer ordered a new vovle body for my tranny and says it needs a new one. It is all under warranty, no money out my pocket. Does anybody have anything to say about that? Is this going to be a problem in the future, my ride only has 18K miles and stock. Hardly ever tow a load. this is my first post please be easy on my dumb *** I trying to learn all I can Thanks

 

When I went to pick up my truck of course the mechanic was at lunch so i did not get the chance to chat with him. However they called today to say the new vlve body was in and made a appointment next tues. I plan to chat to him before he starts to get the facts and I will be glad to share with the rest of you. I took my truck to a local tranny shop that has a good rap. He told me that my truck does seem to slip when it goes to OD lock up but not to bad. He said the same thing let them fix it under warranty it does not cost you a dime.. I will let you all know the results as soon as I know them thanks for the help.

 

here is the deal, the mechanic at the dealer told me that the tranny pressures were measuring to low and he could not figure out why, so DC told him to install a new valve body and test it. So he did and the tranny does shift a little better and he said the pressures are were they are suppost to be. They also replace the tranny filter and what fluid comes out when they dropp the pan, so I guess we will run with it and see how she does, thanks for all help and opinions, You all have been a lot of help Thank you
