Transmission help

[nick benanti]

Hi, I have a 2001 tahoe ls 5.3 with 200k on it. This truck owes me nothing. This is gonna sound silly, but, I was driving today and getting on the highway and I think the transmission decided it was friday and quit working. I was hitting the gas and it wasnt doing anything. I tried all the gears and ranges on the tranfer case. After a few minutes it started to move again. I was able to limp it back home and coming up the slight hill to my house, something went clunk and that's all she wrote. While pushing it to a safe parking spot, there was just loud clunking while in neutral. Ive heard a slight whining this past week and was gonna use my the weekend to look into it. I want to hear everyone's opinion if it's either a transfer case issue or transmission related.

Thanks in advance!

unfortunately it's 99.999% chance it's the transmission the transfer cases in these are pretty stout

Is it worth a rebuild or just throwing in another one?

that's a hard question, depends on what you want to spend on it, cheapest option is to find a junkyard that will swap in a used one, options are all over the place a complete rebuild can run as high as $3200-3500 depending on who does it

You could go to Oreilly. There are 2 options for your truck

Might be time to get a professional, hands-on evaluation.

Update: Still no forward gear but will move in reverse with no load applied. Once I hit the gas there is a loud thud like a mount is bad but will go back.

You gonna rebuild it yourself?

Mine started to ''Jam-Up'' one day as I was coming to a stop but could still drive it. Would Jam coasting down the driveway. Check your Pan for debris i had small parts in mine. T-Case was fine. Pull case and check it out. You need to pull it out anyway.
