Well I bought this truck because on every long trip with my travel trailer I had a problem with my old Duramax. Now I am 900 miles from home and there's trans or transfer case fluid all over underneath. It's a 6.2 with a 10 speed. 2 speed transfer case Trail Boss LT. It has 1600 miles on it and is less than a month old. I am not happy at all. Anyone else had this happen? I can't tell where it's coming from as it's all over. It's the back of the transmission or front of the transfer case area.

Well it made it home okay. It's going to the dealer Friday. I think the transmission may have been overfilled. But since it is new I don't want to touch it. Let the dealer sort it out. I have a doctor's appointment just down the road so I will load it on my tilt deck and take it there behind my old Duramax. The other way won't work. The trailer load capacity is 5300 pounds which is about what the 1500 weighs. The Duramax is about 6200 pounds. Plus it would put too much tounge weight on the 1500s hitch. It's only rated at 900 pounds vs the Duramax hitch that is 1500. I will load it today to be sure it fits and the tounge weight is not too much. I have a weigh safe scale hitch. If it won't work I will put my Corvette on the trailer and tow it with the 1500. I know it will work that way. I can adjust the Vette on the trailer to any reasonable hitch weight. Anything from 700 to 1500 is well within the length of the trailer. It will likely be raining though. I hate to take that car out in the rain. It's a nightmare to get cleaned up. 13d1fb489b68fdfc5b1fccdc64d04a9b.jpgff2e4e2374418f6cbf39bc695d6ec555.jpg

Well the truck is too long for the trailer. It will fit but the front tires tilt the deck before the back ones get to the trailer. Almost there but not quite. I have been wanting to make it power tilt anyway. I ordered the stuff except the steel today. I will get the steel locally. Also the step tubes will barely clear the fenders. They would hit on bumps. But blocks under the tires will fix that. So the Vette is loaded up ready to go. I hope they fix it in one day or I will have to go get the trailer with the other truck. 19a218bbc2d4f869225e50d0b540bf54.jpg38110b6a61dde6850d6acf041b5ff21c.jpg

Doesn't the warranty provide a loaner if they can't fix the vehicle right away?

Yeah but I prefer not to. Right now with what's going on I don't want to drive a pass around vehicle.

It's a leak between the transmission and transfer case. They need to order a seal kit.

      Post your UOA, (used oil analysis) here

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Here's the second UOA on my 22 Wrangler with the Ecodiesel. This has 5k miles on AMSOIL Signature Series DEO 5w-40. The first one was dealer installed oil, no clue what it was, the second is what AMSOIL recommended, European FS 5w-40, Most of the Ecodiesel world is showing great results using the European MS 5w-40, I figured I would see how the DEO works. This is using an Ecoguard oil filter. It's my understanding this engine likes to shed aluminum.  We will see. So far I don't think this is too bad.

      Disable DRL's

      By revmanii · Posted

      I'm surprised nobody seems to offer a solution like the start/stop device I put in my new truck. Remembers my setting when shutdown. And while it still starts up in start/stop, it stores/evaluates what mode it was in when shut down and will change it whithin a second or 2 of startup. It'd be nice to have something like that for the DRLs.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.

      An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?
