48RE Band Adjustment
If the mechanics dont want to do the work, or are too lazy, no point in having your truck there...
It would be one thing if they suggested it might not need it yet, but to say its not possible is stupid.
Your 1-2-1-2 problem might be because of a governer solenoid or another electrical problem...
print this TSB out, take it to the dealership...

I wouldnt be suprised if it was $200+ for fluid/filter/band adjustment...
For the solenoid, if you're out of warranty, youll probably have to pony up the money, but you can order the part for $30-40, there was a thread on here a while back that had how to do it, and where he ordered the part for that price, ill see if I can dig it up....
IMO, do the solenoid, new filter/fluid, then see if it helps with the 1-2-1, then adjust the bands after, or if you tow heavy(or higher miles)

Band adjustment procedure, and part number/link for governor solenoid...
Band adjustment procedure, and part number/link for governor solenoid...
- 7 qts ATF+4 = $28
- Filter = $13
- In-lb torque wrench (if you don't have one)= $70
- 6-pack of you favorite beverage = $3 to $18
- Knowing you did it yourself and that it was ACTUALLY done = Pricele$$
That is the reason they want you to adjust them every 20-30K as when there is no more adjustment your in need of the trans being worked on. Its called job security for trans rebuilders! Stop and think if you can go 100,000 miles on Schedule A before the bands need to be adjusted then why do people think it needs to be done every 20-30,000 miles? The only time I can think it may need to be done sooner is if your Truck/Car/SUV spends its whole life in nothing but stop and go city driving.
, I like that one thanks for the input and sorry for pirating this thread
.... I might tackle this as soon as i get some parts ordered...
