Transmission Shifting Question

My 2005 5.3 Silverado will stay in 2nd or 3rd from a stop when I use that gear. It shifts fine in D.

So for example, if I downshift from D to 3rd while descending a hill and then come to a complete stop at the bottom when I start moving the truck will still be in 3rd so I will have to shift up to D for it to shift normally again. Anyone ever come across this?

Is your light on in the IPC?

 

That is weird for a 60 to do , I know that 80s will start out in 2nd gear if the gear chosen is 2 I believe , can't remember sorry ,

 

I know that for when there is a power failure to any transmission you will get a gear (both solinoids off)

 

That is not your problem of course just letting you know some useless info lol,

 

Not much you can do here I'm afraid ,

The 4L60E starts in 2nd gear when put into second also. At least my 2004 did for sure, it was even mentioned in the owners manual. And let me tell you, with it being a two wheel drive truck that feature came in really handy from time to time in the slop. Are you sure that when you are in third that it's starting in third? 2nd does that for sure, and it's supposed to.

Well it is possible that it is starting out in 2nd when it is in 3rd but it isn't starting out in 1st. I usually jump when I realize it and pop it into drive. I never did play with it before but may have to take it out and try.

 

It has done this since I purchased the truck in 2007 but never was an issue till I bought a 6000lb camper and would like to keep the truck in 3rd rather than bouncing between D and 3rd. While running on the freeway.

      New car smell air freshener

      I found an odor eliminator spray that neutralizes unwanted smells pretty well. Using it with the car's AC running helps to distribute it evenly around the cabin.

      WTI futures / speculation is just that. WTI futures <> current 4-7% inflation and national average gas price over $4.00/gallon.   The spot price, at delivery, is currently $87-$95/barrel which is why gas prices remain high.   Edit: oH mY gOd mEnTaL BrEaKdoWn In tHE pOsT aBOve mInE.

      He does, actually. In another unrelated video he mentions the president called him in the middle of the night to relay some information on a cause (religious based) that he's invested in. Glenn expressed concern that another leftist administration could wield too much power with some procedure the Pentagon was using, classifying certain religions a certain way. Being that he is LDS (Latter Day Saints), he gets hate all the time from ALL over the political spectrum, so he's invested in this. Trump called him back at 5AM to tell him he had made some changes to that classification.   So, yes, they are and have been in contact regularly since the start of the administration. Glenn, of course, always asks his permission before discussing anything on the air.   I already spent an hour or more just searching for these videos. I may have my numbers wrong - I'm not a numbers guy. It may have been a MILLION barrels, not 1.5. The point is, our President, by his actions, gives a crap about America, and US - this is completely OPPOSITE the actions of the prior administration who projected hatred for anyone who wasn't following the left's edicts in lock-step.   Remember, they called January 6th an "Insurrection", when there were ZERO weapons among the crowd, undercover FBI agents agitating the crowd, along with paid leftists acting as aggressors, egging the crowd on in an attempt to whip everyone into a frenzy. It's all been proven.  Pelosi refused Trumps request for more National Guard troops. This smells 100% like an inside job for those with critical thinking skills. Only a handful of guys in the crowd got wrapped up in that, thankfully, but EVERYONE was searched out based on cell phone data, and charges were brought against many. And 6 or so people were locked up and left in solitary confinement for YEARS with ZERO due process!! If you give the slightest crap about our Nation, REGARDLESS of your political leanings, this should frighten you to your core. This is what men suffered, bled, fought, and died against 250 years ago!   This has gone FAR BEYOND left vs. right. This is a  threat to America, and our way of life. This is PRECISELY why Trump, a BILLIONAIRE who could have chosen to take Melania and sit on some tropical island that he could afford to buy himself and RELAX, instead chose to run for office, get hate from literally every corner of the media, get ATTEMPTS on his LIFE constantly, and begin to repair some of the severe damage that's been done to this Great Nation.   I don't know why I bother wasting my precious time here. Everyone has their minds made up. They won't realize we all were correct until it's too late ... after they elect another tyrant that hates America to office (Obama), or another puppet whose administration is secretly running the show behind the scenes (Biden).
