    2ML70 Rebuild

    I did know about the engine problems, and transmissions, just didn’t realize they got paid differently. No wonder they didn’t want to touch the Tahoe ahah. Also they were worried they would run it and not work and I wouldn’t want to pay.

    2ML70 Rebuild

    They’ve been busy every time I’ve been down there they have a waiting line of cars. I don’t know why they’re so popular for service, they’re definitely not the cheapest in town. I also wouldn’t be surprised if it was done Thursday and nobody called

    2ML70 Rebuild

    It’s in line to be flashed, they apparently have a bunch of stuff getting reprogrammed. I was told Thursday or Friday earliest and middle of next week latest. So just waiting for the call. They had to reprogram the TCU to match the ECU aka the relearn we all were wondering about. It actually...

    2ML70 Rebuild

    FINALLY AN UPDATE FROM CHEVY!!! So after three weeks of arguing with them to do a diagnostic which they didn’t want to for whatever reason I spoke to the general manager. They were mostly worried I didn’t want to not pay for the diagnostic, if it was something they couldn’t fix. All said and...

    I do know the front wheel drive unit is completely different, as quoted by transmissions digest.

    2ML70 Rebuild

    It looks like they made it pretty universal to swap out the tail piece on a 2wd for the tail and transfer case on the 4wd. You might have to swap out propeller shafts also, there is only one through the entire transmission. I think they tried to keep everything as cheap as possible through the...

    They’re out of Michigan and they are only open Mon-Friday in that time zone 8-4 I think

    2ML70 Rebuild

    They have to be replaced no matter what the swelling is part creating the seal when the fluid get put in. EVERY PART is carried by SMC performance, I ordered everything from them for my rebuild. The o rings aren’t listed on the website you’ll have to call them: (248) 276-0483 Better yet DM me...

    2ML70 Rebuild

    They still haven’t told me what’s going on with it yet, but like I said I’m willing to bet money that I missed a step somewhere electrical. They are waiting to diagnose it for when the airbag arrives.

    2ML70 Rebuild

    Well they’re charging me 300 for diagnostic, and I’m sure it’s something stupid I forgot to plug something in or something. They’re also doing the airbag recall finally too, which I forgot about and was wondering what was taking multiple days, they had to order the replacement airbag.

    2ML70 Rebuild

    Alright so tested all the way through on a new neutral safety switch, it never gave me reverse lights, so it is a BCM issue. My scanner is not solid enough to figure it out, I’m sad to say she was towed to Chevy for a full diagnostic this morning. But by the weekend they will be able to tell me...

    2ML70 Rebuild

    GM engineering department knew what it was doing on this generation, trying to save money for the next recession. I’m also annoyed that all gas powered transmissions have the switches on the exterior of the transmission case and hybrid is mounted inside.

    2ML70 Rebuild

    Ahahaha seriously! At this point I’m getting ready to fly you out here just to use the tech 2. I’ll bet the remote start is a shortcut because the position 1 motor is the starter, and gets the signal same time as ECU which is telling the fuel pump to not turn on. Anyways, I’m determined to...

    2ML70 Rebuild

    The electric motor in the transmission definitely spun to crank the motor. I also spoke to a mechanic friend and I’m apparently an idiot and installed the safety switch wrong. He told me to put it in reverse and check if the lights come on, they didn’t so I have to open the pan and adjust it to...

    2ML70 Rebuild

    The linkage is all good, I did replace the safety switch/range selector inside of the transmission pan and now it knows and shows on the dash what gear is selected. DOES ANYONE KNOW FOR SURE THAT YOU HAVE TO REPROGRAM THE SELECTOR TO TCM? Ran all the codes it’s coming back with no connection to...

    2ML70 Rebuild

    I might have to pick that up after all, I replaced the safety switch and she still won’t turn over.. then work got in the way also. Getting it towed to Chevy on Tuesday to see if they can flash it to solve the issue, or if I’m just gonna have to replace the whole thing

    2ML70 Rebuild

    That’s exactly the problem I had, it shows all the gears but not the outline for where it is in the gears. Just got a hold of the transmission place that gave me the first gear assembly to dismantle and rebuild, they have the internal mode switch still and pulling it now for me $25, now just...

    2ML70 Rebuild

    I’m assuming so, that switch is also the neutral safety switch

    2ML70 Rebuild

    No I got the specific codes P182E-00(internal mode switch invalid range) and P1838-00 (internal mode switch A circuit high voltage)

    2ML70 Rebuild

    Everything is reinstalled, liquid filled, and ready to roll…. No crank (1st drive motor inside transmission is the starter). Ran the codes, EVERYTHING was lit up due to the batteries being disconnected for so long. Cleared all the codes and tried to start again, still no crank. Re ran the codes...

    2WD or AUTO for better MPG?

    You had a 2007 hybrid or just 5.3? I’m mid project on rebuilding the 2ml70 transmission on the 2009 I just bought. Had some random ownership questions (hybrid related) if you don’t mind.

    2ML70 Rebuild

    It’s just a lot of organizing in general and following specific state and county standards that sometimes contradict each other of course ahaha. Unlike this project where there are set parameters, restaurants usually have different parameters depending on which regulating group and person you...

    2ML70 Rebuild

    Alright! Finally got time on the lift this next week to reinstall, Tuesday-Thursday. Hopeful to finish by Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. Between work and the huge ice storm we had last week, I’m excited to be back on this project and out of the house. Updates to follow.

    2ML70 Rebuild

    Sorry, been really busy with work and haven’t been able to book time on the lift to put it back in. Probably won’t be able to reinstall for a couple weeks still, I have a catering company, between parties booked and working a deal to be the restaurant portion of a bar here in Portland I haven’t...
