Hey guys! I am new here and also new to these trucks. I bought a 1998 Tahoe about a month ago and have been loving it. I have learned a ton of stuff from this site and have been enjoying it very much. Truck as stated is a 1998 Tahoe LT 4X4 with 234K on the clock. Motor replaced about 25-30K ago with reman and changed fluid and filter at that time but no other work to trans that I know of. Anyway here is the problem...
About a week ago I was driving home and came to a stop sign. There was dirt on the turn from some road construction and I took off a little fast spinning the tires. The trans didn't like it very good and shifted very funny (for the first time since I bought the truck). Anyway, the next day when driving to work it was stuck in 3rd (Limp Mode). After work I took it to the local general purpose shop and it shifted through the gears but didn't seem to want to shift from 2 to 3 but eventually did and shifted into OD fine. They put it on the computer and showed it was a solenoid in the tranny. They said they didn't know if that was the problem but that was the code that showed up. Anyway, I told them to go ahead and replace both solenoids while they had the pan off and change filter and fluid too. Well, they did and it is doing the exact same thing. Any opinions? Do I need to just take it to a tranny shop? I know nothing about transmissions. Oh, and the fluid looked great and there was no shavings or anything in the pan when they took it off.
Thank you in advance for any advice!
