Hey guys am new to the forum am looking to get some help and info on a transmission replacement. So my problem is that my transmission went out last week it started suddering and overheating to about 240 its been slipping and sounds horrible, so my questions how hard is it to replace it? I found a used one for 800 bucks the only thing that stops me is the reflashing, is it expensive? Can i reflash it or does it have to be done by the dealership? Ive replaced 4 transmissions on older 99-07 silverado so the mechanics is not an issue its the programing that stops me. I found a shop that does it for 2500 installed but if i can do it my self and save some money am all for it. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Unless you own the tools and software to do the flash, you can't do that yourself.

 

If you find a transmission to swap in, do that with a new converter and tow it to a dealer to have them flash the TCM to match your PCM/OS/VIN so everything jives.

Its a 2014 silverado 5.3 2wd lt, i started noticing a weird hard shift from 2-3 and 3-2 around 100k while i was still under warranty i took it in a few times for service but they told me it was normal and just gave me the run around till my warranty expired, the truck has 140k now as i travel alot (56hr round trip into mexico) every year.

By chance did you have the transmission serviced prior to the issues happening?  Like a Tranny service/fluid change/flush?  I'm a big believer in tranny service every 30,000-40,000 miles on these trannies.

I got the truck with 60k and had the fluids replaced at around 100k, they even told me they changed some valve bodies but after that it had a weird grinding sound at cold starts so i fugure now they changed the valve bodies but did not replace the the fluids because it was missing like 1 and a half quarts when i checked it

Swapping the TCM is possible but if your transmission was trashed on the inside that stuff did cover the TCM and go through it on the "pillows". You'd need to inspect your TCM too to make sure it's still in good condition.

 

All the screens must be clean and not damaged.

Does it bother you that a used transmission is of unknown history and condition? 

 

Yeah it does but i just dont have 2500 to 4k right now spend on it am hoping to find maybe a newer one or a rebuilt one and do the labor my self i have been getting quotes and the cheapest ive found is 2500 but its not a big shop and the rest charge me from 3500 to 4000

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
