    Tranny Woes

    Well, I took it to a tranny shop, one with a good reputation, gave my story and the keys and asked them to diagnose it. Of course, the tranny would not act up while they had it, and they did do a bi-directional scan while driving it and checking for other codes. The scan revealed nothing out...

    Tranny Woes

    Thanks for the tips. the tranny was also slipping out of gear without the dash board lighting up. A couple of times in lower gears, but put it in tow mode and that went away. Then it happened again at higher gears in tow mode where it slipped and went out of tow mode, but no dashboard lights...

    Tranny Woes

    I have a 2009 Tahoe 5.3 with the 6L80 and about 150k miles. I just returned from a long highway trip towing a small boat and camping gear in the back of the Tahoe. While driving on the highway, the tranny suddenly went out of gear (think I was in 4th or 5th), and all the lights turned on in...

    New Timken SP500301 Front Wheel Bearing and Hub Assembly (07-14 1500s) - $250 with Free Shipping

    Sorry. I sold them, and forgot about this ad. Yeah, you got to watch what you get from eBay, and Amazon too!

    Transmission issues?

    Ok. That's worth a try. The only things I changed recently before the tranny started acting up is that I changed the driver side rocker cover and added a catch can. I was starting to wonder if the catch can could be the suspect and maybe some vacuum leak but hoses are all snug. I could always...

    Transmission issues?

    Yeah, I am starting to think that it will need to be rebuilt; I am planning to keep it. The low fluid could be because of me. I changed the fluid about 5000 miles ago and it is possible I did not get enough in. I did put half a quart in the other day where it's now registering on the higher end...

    Transmission issues?

    I have a 2009 Tahoe 4x4 with the 5.3 and the 6l80 with 150000 miles. Recently, the transmission has started having issues where it slips out of gear, or does not engage it. This has happened after stopping at a light with the front pointing up on a slight incline. I roll out in first gear, then...

    PCV, or not to PCV?

    Here are a few general pics. I have taken several while I was building it, so I will probably do a build thread this winter.

    PCV, or not to PCV?

    @opfor2 I had to cut my OEM PCV line near where it goes into the intake to put the line on from the can since the OEM is one piece of plastic pipe.

    PCV, or not to PCV?

    Hi Joseph! I got the same catch that you have in your picture. The longer line that goes from my rocker cover to the can is going into the end where there is a screen inside. Is yours the same way? Just checking to make sure mine did not get installed in the reverse order; the hoses were already...

    Do you just place it in the bottom of the can?

    Thanks all! I ordered the updated rocker cover and the J&L oil catcher (they have a steel mesh built-in).

    PCV, or not to PCV?

    I have a 2009 5.3 with 150K miles on it. I grew up with the fact that PCV are regular maintenance items that must be replaced. However, with this engine, the PCV is part of the rocker cover that can't be pulled or screwed out. According to this TSB, any model built before Feb 1, 2011, has an...
