Having an interesting problem with the Denali. When I sit at a light in D, the RPMs look ok but the truck is trying to go. It seems to settle to a stop Ok at first, but then the longer I sit, the harder it seems to try to move forward. Also, when coming to a stop it has a surge or flare when it downshifts from 2 to 1 as I slow down. It also does the surge/flare when I go in and out of Park or Neutral.
Shifting during normal or even "spirited" acceleration is normal. No flares between gears except 2 down to 1 when slowing.
Of course my "trusted mechanic" told me it's all fine! They say it runs normally. They said my transmission has the correct amount of fluid and it's in good condition (because I had it changed about 8 months and 3K miles ago). Mileage on truck is 202K but only about 50k on remanufactured transmission. Prior owner did tow a large travel trailer and there is a tow brake installed but it is completely disabled.
So far have tried: clean MAF and Throttle Body, Exchanged 1 quart of Dex 6 fluid for 1 quart of lucas transmission fix. Neither made a significant difference.
I'm not opposed to doing a full fluid exchange or a (gasp) flush if that's what's recommended.
