I recently purchased a 2014 Chevy Silverado LTZ 4x4 with the 5.3L V8 with 98k miles. Checking out the vehicle everything seemed great; 1 owner (old man), well kept, flawless interior and minor exterior flaws, drove great and made 0 abnormal noises when Idling or driving. I’ve reached the 1000 mile mark after purchase and the truck makes plenty of ticking noises at idle, slipping gears when applying low throttle and now the transmission light came on. See this is happening with so many of these trucks and I hate that I’m getting screwed because of it. I’m afraid the truck won’t be able to get me to and from work and I badly need help with this.
