When you scroll through the vehicles info scree....
It appears on the instant MAG read out....
V4. Or. V8 .

I do not have a screen. There are only two things I can scroll through, my trip-o-meter and odometer.


I know exactly what you're talking about...it's caused by a transmission lock solenoid (or something like that?), check with the dealer for the replacement http://gmpartsonline.net

I had to replace mine on my Silverado and it went back to normal...my gas mileage also got much better, oddly enough.

Really?
That would really suck if that was it. I just dumped enough $$$$ into it to buy a new tranny.

I think I'm going to call a tranny specific shop after the holidays. Not a good way to end the year especially around the holidays.

I broke down and brought it to the dealer for a diag scan. I was fortunate enough to take it out with a tech, he felt and heard everything through every gear. I told him everything that I had done and he is going to let me know tomorrow what the results are. Hopefully its nothing major.

Sorry guys, I didn't realize this thread had any activity.

Long story short, the problem was not resolved.

I'm not pleased with how it drives with the FTI converter, it's a complete dog. Never mind the other problem.
It doesn't drive anything like my 2dr 2wd with yank 3200. Not sure if its the extra 800 to 1k pounds of the NNBS or what.
I'm taking it to the dealer for them to re-flash the tune back to factory. I'm not sure what the guys did with the tune but I'm not to thrilled with how it drives.
I'm more than likely going to put an OE quality converter in unless FTI gives me another idea about the converter. Maybe go with a different stall.
I don't know, I'm aggravated about this whole situation.

I have a random question. I took out a couple of friends and pointed out the noise at 35/45 mph. The passenger in the back said "it feels/sounds like its your rear end, I felt it in my butt"

Is it possible that the rear end could be the problem?
Is it possible for the rear end to hit that sweet spot at the right speed and start to vibrate?

Thanks

Check your drive shaft might have a bend maybe u joints as well. I have a buddy they used a forklift to motive his truck at auction. Put a huge dent in the drive shaft. Luckily it doesn't do any thing to the drive quality but everyone who see 'a it says damn what the hell happened there.

I looked at my driveshaft, looks fine. I did notice one of my lower links is bent.
I don't see a bent link causing any issues like I'm having. I'm going to order one this weekend.

This sh*t pisses me off, one simple problem turns into many issues after one shop had there hands on it.
