SW CT,
Sounds like the forward sprag, first time I blew the trans in my tahoe that is what it was, if you are rebuilding it might as well beef it up, the overall cost won't be too much different.

Sounds like it went into some kind of a limp mode. I had the same thing happen to my 08 Denali when pulling into a parking lot. I though someone hit me. I turned it off then back on again and it ran fine. It threw an error code but went out after a day of driving. I took it to the dealer and they couldn't find the code which should have been stored in the computer (Vacaville GMC people have no idea what they are doing and were just lying to me). Anyway, I later found that one the the motor mounts broke, which we had replaced. No issues since.

kaej,

Have you had the vehicle inspected for this issue? If you would like, PM me the last 8-digits of your VIN and I can research my resources for any known issues.
