Back when I had my '07 Sierra I was thinking the same.

I thought a fluid change can fix it. It was better though. For sure.

But another 15000km down the road I spend 3.5 grands (before taxes!) for a complete rebuilt.

 

And one thing is for sure. You don't wanna hear someone say: "If you had brought the truck in earlier we might would have been able to fix it with a change of some clutches or bushings..."

 

so long

Your right, Im gonna have it looked at my next day off. Im hoping its a pressure solenoid, I was reading about common problems with the 4 speed and that was one of them, some of the symtoms were, running warmer then normal, and some gears slipping which sounds like the issues im having. I mean it seems whenever I messed with the fluid or when the temp increased it would act up, and the pressure silnoid was also what went off when I first noticed it.

i HAVE A 2007 SIERRA WITH THE FOLLOWING TRANSMISSION ISSUES

 

1.ALMOST EVERY TIME I SHIFT INTO REVERSE THE SERVO ON THE TRANSFER CASE POPS OUT AND MAKES A SERIOUS WHIRRING/GRINDING SOUND. iF I POP IT INTO NUETRAL AND BACK INTO REVERSE EVERYTHING IS FINE.  THIS HAPPENS IN 2W AND 4W!

 

2. EVERY  SO OFTEN WHEN I STOP AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN AND THEN PROCEED SHE WILL TACK OUT LIKE SHE IS STUCK IN LOW GEAR.  I IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER. SHIFT TO NUETRAL THEN REVERSE AND BACK TO DRIVE IT USUALLY FUNCTIONS PROPERLY.

3.  RECENTLY I USED 4WHEEL LOW TO TOW A VECHILE.  AFTER I WAS FINISHED I SWITCHED IT OUT OF 4L BUT SHE REMAINED STUCK IAND SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE WARNING CAME ON.  THIS HAS HAPPEND TWICE.  i REPLACED THE SERVO THE FIRST TIME AND ALL WAS WELL UNTIL I USED 4L AGAIN.  i HAD TO DRIVE IN 4L FOR THREE DAYS UNTIL MY MECHANIC COULD LOOK AT IT. HE WAS ABLE TO CLEAR THE ERROR CODES AND GET HER TO FUNCITON IN 2W AND 4H.

 

I REGULARLY CHECK MY FLUID LEVELS. NOT ONCE HAS THE TRANNY FLUID BEEN LOW OR DISCOLORED OR HAVE A FUNNY SMELL.

 

ANY IDEAS?  MECHANIC SAYS I NEED A NEW TRANSFER CASE. I'M NOT SURE THAT IS THE FIX ALL!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
