Hello all,
Was curious to find out if anyone had transmission issues yet? Based on a search I have found numerous complaints online about transmission failures.
The issue with mine is that on first and second gear lower RPM, there seems to be a slight whine sound. 3rd is fine unless I step on the gas more.
Recently changed trans oil and used GM recommended Dexron VI by ACDelco. OEM filter from dealership.
I have called dealer and asked about transmission diagnosis and they said just to take the transmission out would be 16 hours or labor and about $1200.
I also called a nearby transmission repair shop and they said that the cost to rebuild the trans is about 5k which isn’t cheap and he said that it may even be a simple fix (which I doubt because I felt it was just a way to get the truck in and say there’s all these different worn out components etc...).
Before I take it in, I just want to get some ideas on what you guys think the problem is and if there is anything that I can do in the meantime, or maybe it was something else that I did incorrectly? 1200 + parts and rebuild is no joke to the wallet.
Truck has 72,000 miles and on 33s with a Blackbear tune.
Thank you in advance.
