She'll be back with a new transmission...

 

Shes had a tough life. I was expecting this for the last month or so for some reason. Def in the last 3 days as it was lugging when accelerating, then stopped moving altogether. I noticed it after some spirited back roads driving. For some reason I fail to remember it's a heavy ass truck! Anyway 175k on the clock, lots of towing, hauling, and red light rippin'. I see at least another 100k before getting a new one. There is nothing else wrong with this truck. Seats and interior still look new considering the miles. I've been extremely happy with this truck over all. e7ef8fe21e4f638758ea012b165c322c.jpga19e0764a0850a63942cf798d327240a.jpg

Thanks! 250k is my goal but I have no problem taking it further.

175K ...... 
You got your money's worth :thumbs:
 
Hell yes I have. This truck has been an absolute beast over the last few years. I was expecting this, so it wasn't a huge deal. Sucks on the wallet side, especially after just booking our honeymoon the day before. Oh well. Fresh A/C system, fresh trans, let's keep on rolling!

It shouldn't cost much more to put better parts in, I'd seriously have the shop do it now.

Eh bout common for GM half tons. Back in the 4l60 days you were doing real good if you got 175k out of it. Now the 3/4 tons I have never had an issue out of their transmission.

It was too late. They finished it yesterday afternoon. It's back in the driveway.

How was the trans maintained? 175k is an early death in my world. Great looking truck though. 
It wasn't. It was used and abused. Had a new gasket, filter, and fluid, but I never got around to at least freshening it up.

Mind if I ask the price? I have the billet stage 3+ full built and 3clutch stall also billet. And it was expensive. Most rebuilds I see are about 4-5k stock style and 5-6k built. Then stall.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      Service 4wd, ESC light, traction control light on, Service charging system (vehicle may stall)

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
