I'm new to this forum and this is my first post.
I recently purchased a 1999 Tahoe 2 door that was sitting up for 5 years,
I did the usual, change fluids, etc ...
The vehicle runs great but I'm having a shifting issue (Note-this is why the previous owner stopped driving the vehicle)
Issue:
(with the 4x4 control panel in 2WD) Put the trans in Drive and take off,
it shifts to 2nd and as ur accelerating to 3rd gear, the transmission acts like it shifts to a low gear and the rpms jump up high.
This doesn't happen all the time, sometimes it drives perfect but moew often than not is occurs.
Today I replaced the 4x4 control panel but the same thing occurs.
4x4 control panel lights:
Sometimes when you start the vehicle all of the lights on the control panel are lit on and stay on.
Sometimes when you start the vehicle the 2WD light on the control panel is on and stays on.
The sudden downshift issue happens no matter which control panel setting you select (except) if you select Auto 4WD/2WD the sudden downshift issue doesnt occur BUT I don't use this selection because sometimes the trans sounds like its having a hard time deciding which mode you want to use.
Sometimes the 'Service 4WD' light comes on but not all the time ...
Could it possibly be a defective Shift Solenoid?
or a Throttle Position Sensor?
Before I start throwing additional money at this vehicle I've always found it's best to ask fellow forum members.
The wheels been invented, I just need help finding the correct spoke
Thanks for your suggestions ...
