Gotta 1994 Silverado with 4.3 and 4L60-E tranny. Could be me, but I think that recently its shifting a little harder from 2nd to 3rd. I don't think I've been harder on it. I've been told to NOT change tranny fluid for following reasons.

1) any metal shavings or gunk that is floating around your tranny will flow into your housing causing more damage.

2) higher viscosity will cause the clutch to not catch as well.

Opinions?

- Measuring Transmission Temperature for Setting Fluid Level - 6L90

  At least on my 24 with the 10L1000 the dash display for trans temp exactly matches what my OBD2 monitor shows. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for coolant temp, the dash gauge is essentially an idiot light at this point.

  Years ago this was a big problem with any vehicle with multiple leaf springs. I had a grease wedge that you would hammer into the springs and shoot some grease in between the leaf. I have not seen that tool in years. I would go to an old timer and see if he has one. It made the back end ride like new.

  It is acceptable. The temp range is really to just make sure the t-stat is open and fluid is circulating fully. (Even easier is to just put in 6 qts.)
- Seat Belt Warning 2006 Silverado

  Hi Hopefully someone has already encountered this and figured out the fix. I get in the truck and start the engine: -the seat belt light will be on. -when I fasten the belt, the light will start blinking. -after ~1 minute (driving or sitting still) the light will go off, the 'Fasten Seat Belt' will illuminate on the dash and the system will beep a few times. The 'Fasten Seat Belt' will go off after a few seconds. -after ~3 minutes, same thing with the 'Fasten Seat Belt' on the dash and a few beeps again. 'Fasten Seat Belt' goes back off. Nothing else happens again. -This happens whether or not the passenger belt is buckled. I've taken compressed air and blown out both buckle latches - no help. Ideas?
