Transmission getting stuck in 2nd gear

I have a 2008 NNBS Z-71, Roughly a month ago my truck got stuck in 4wd lo. I was about 10 miles from home so I drove it home, the next day I went through the motions and narrowed it down to the actuator or switch, since the switch was $30 I picked one up and changed it....it worked so problem solved so I thought. A week after that it got stuck in 4 lo again, I just left it alone and when I came back to the truck a few hours later, I started the truck and switched it out with no problem. Ever since then, it's getting stuck in 2nd gear. What it's doing is while slowing down it will get down to 10-12 mph than the speedometer will just go to zero and if I try to accelerate it will stay at 0 and it will not come out of 2nd gear. When this happens I have to either come to a complete stop or put it in neutral and tach it out than switch back to drive and than it's fine. It seems to be an electrical issue more than a mechanical issue but I have no idea what I could be! For what it's worth the truck does have a blackbear tune on it. Has anyone had this issue or know anything about this? Any info is much appreciated

Without looking it up on another devise I can tell you that when both shift solenoid are off (power failure) it will be in a gear , so if power IS lost ya can drive it ,

 

I feel you can do nothing on your own unless you have a scanner, service info and some mechanical repair background ,

 

Please let us know what you find cuzzzz no one does

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.

      I’m praying that someone sees this and can help me out… pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain, and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires.

      Checked the pads today and there's plenty of meat on them. If the message keeps coming up, I'll just answer YES that the pads were replaced and wait for the squeal.
