2003 Yukon Denali. 170,000 miles.

The trans is slipping between 1st & 2nd gear. Now it's bad. It has been doing this intermittently for the past 80,000 miles !!!!! I kid you not. Most times, it's a mild slip. Then it would go away for months. Now it's back, and it may be time to have it fixed.

 

 

No one believes me how long this has been going on. I used seafoam in the past, and it helped a bit. I changed the tranny fluid at 80k, and at 120K. The last tranny fluid change seemed to help. But now it's real annoying.

 

 

Would a vette servo do any thing ?? It's only 1st & 2nd gear.

How does a sealed disc "provide more apply pressure"? Does the little disc tell the the pump to ramp up pressure somehow ???? Come on ...   And there is only one band in a 60 ,   Try again   G

The corvette servo provides more apply pressure to the 1-2 and 2-3 bands. For $15 it's worth a shot to put one in and try. It might prolong the life and save you from a rebuild for a little while. In

In spite of govtech4's opinion, the corvette servo is a very nice mod to any 4L60 or 700R transmission.

+1 on the Corvette servo's effectiveness.

 

However, to be fair, 170k is a decently long life for the 4L60E trans. As mentioned, its a solid upgrade for the price and may prolong the inevitable. But don't expect it to cure your problems permanently.

The vette servo mod been around for ever. I know the F-body guys use it, and the B-body guys too. Mr. govtech doesn't seem to like corvettes for some reason.

Most the LS1 F-bodies already had the so called "vette" servo. Yet people still spend the $30 on one. As for the slipping, the servo will not stop it. Time for a rebuild before the whole thing goes to hell

The LT1 crowd was big on the vette servo.

But that was back when it was the L98 and LT1. In the past 18 years the servo has been the same. But in a nutshell, 170k. This transmission has lived it's life. Mine is at 160k. I am counting the days til mine goes. On a 60/65 series in a truck, anything over about 125k is a crapshoot. Anything over 150k is on borrowed time

I like vettes just fine , I just don't buy the hype, servos don't get bigger area in the same housing , I'll have to research this thing , I rebuilt a few 60s ,

 

Sorry mr too tall if I struck a nerve , we cant get under rocks at this time of the year ..... It's to cold outside lol

 

I was only having a convo about it , sorry to all,

 

Well I took a look and can see the difference in the servos , $17 , worth it ,

I was thinking of another servo ,

 

All good

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
