    Transmission Delayed Engagement

    Dealer said transmission is going out. They also don’t deal with vehicles with so much money so didn’t even offer a trade in with or without a rebuilt transmission. Looking to take it to a local transmission shop and they estimated $3500-3800 for a rebuilt transmission installed.

    Transmission Delayed Engagement

    Missed the last reply and decided to enjoy another day on the water :). Managed to trailer the boat a few miles to and from the water. And…make the 250 mile trip home without a problem. Truck is at dealer now and they are looking at it. My mistake was sending my wife. She has her eye on a...

    Transmission Delayed Engagement

    Probably try to make it home then. Would replacing some of the fluid increase my chances? I could probably change some fluid or even drop the pan if that would help. Clearly less desirable using my last day on vacation to drop the pan especially if it’s not really going to help.

    Transmission Delayed Engagement

    Thanks for the quick reply! I figured it would be something like this. What would you do in my situation? Is this a “you’ll be lucky to make it out of the parking lot” or “should have no trouble limping it home”?

    Transmission Delayed Engagement

    If delayed engagement is not the correct term. On several occasions yesterday in drive and reverse, it seems like it engaged normally in idle. Once you start to try to go, there is a delay in it actually grabbing/engaging. Feels like clutch slipping and then grabbing once the RPMs are high...

    Transmission Delayed Engagement

    All, I have a 2012 Tahoe LTZ with 185k on it. We drove it four hours to vacation and the transmission seemed a little unhappy (shifting strange at highway speeds). Once we got to vacation, it is having delayed engagement in drive and reverse. Not sure if it’s a hot only thing or not, but...

    5.3 Oil Pressure Advice

    For reference, here is the oil pressure switch I ordered from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/product-reviews/B01FRENAA0/ref=acr_dp_hist_1?ie=UTF8&filterByStar=one_star&reviewerType=all_reviews#reviews-filter-bar The store is even called "GM Store", but I see the same reviews as j91z28d1 did...

    5.3 Oil Pressure Advice

    Gotta love this forum! As a matter of fact, I did buy the "ACDELCO" oil pressure sensor from Amazon because it was like $30. I remember thinking at the time, "how can Amazon sell them for half the price of an auto parts store?" However,then moved on to "it's an ACDELCO part, so what do I...

    5.3 Oil Pressure Advice

    Gotcha! Since I'm not interested in swapping the cam, I think I'll stick with my plan. However, you bring up an interesting point. I will plan on doing the +2 quart downhill oring test that has been described on this forum to see if my new oring could be all or part of my problem.

    5.3 Oil Pressure Advice

    Hard to believe I left something out of my novel :), but I use 5W-30 Pennzoil High Mileage Synthetic. Thanks Geotrash for sharing your experience! You don't explicitly say it. Am I correct in assuming the green oring and new HV oil pump fixed your oil pressure problem? Also, why did you use...

    5.3 Oil Pressure Advice

    Hey all and sorry for the novel! I have a 2012 Tahoe LTZ with a 5.3 and 178k miles. We recently had the check engine light come on with P0521 (I think) as the code which is oil pressure sensor. The oil pressure has always been "low" since we've owned it, but recently it would start below 20...
