Hey guys, hopin u can help me out. My 2014 silverado 1500 started a clunk everytime it shifts down from 2nd gear to 1st. A shop near me threw and transfer case (bc it was dangerously low on ATF) and u-joints at it but that did not fix the problem. It also struggles to get going when you put it in gear like something is holding it back or it is trying to pull a big load. Got any advice?

Welcome to the site.

 

So, the shop repaired everything around it, but did they have any idea what is wrong with the transmision?

No, the shop I brought it to doesnt do alot with transmissions. I asked another shop near me that does but they usually throw a reman in cuz it's just cheaper for them and less liability in case they mess something up. I do know my brakes on the front are pert near metal if not metal on metal so I  wonder if they sieze up on that low speed but then are fine when I get to high way speed b/c it coasts really nice.

So what exactly did the shop do?

They threw a transfer case in hoping that would fix it and when u didn't they did u-joints but that didn't fix it either. The transfer case was bassically a ticking time bomb tho b/c it was really low on oil. So that was justified.

I just didn't think that the brakes would do that. My buddies 1500 had metal on metal before I put new pads and rotors on and his brakes never seized just were grinding. But I wonder if the caliper got hot from that bare pad on there and now they just seize instead of letting off after I apply them.

      I have thought an EV might have some practical value in extending the life of the ICE members of ones fleet. Now....I'm convinced of it. I've been letting my better half access Raven (Mitsubishi Mirage) for her needs while Dizzy has been in the shop. Being the fuel freak I am and given the fact Raven is capable of over 60 mpg in clean air on a warm day I was taken back by the wife's ability to take a car that had used a half a tank of gas that to that point had returned a value of 57 mpg and return in with a decimating 51 mpg for that same tank in that same day in a 15 mile round trip of short hop errands and a stop in the drive through at Micky D's.  😱   Trust me on this. It would take the remainder of that tank driven on the highway to return that tank to just 54 mpg. This is not a Mitsubishi issue. This is an ICE issue that is magnified in vehicles capable of such high fuel economy values. On a percentage basis your 1500 does the same thing. Short hopping an ICE consumes a good deal more fuel and in doing so provides zero additional useable outputs. That entire volume of fuel is wasted in diluting the cylinder walls oil films, creating crankcase moisture and acid content and the resultant wear.    Enter the SLATE. All of that is avoided and the ICE's advantage in range and made useful at reduced wear for your ICE!   Kind'a cool.

      Back in the day people would buy cars based on performance. The charger posted does 0-60 in 3.3 seconds. And it’s fully loaded.  It has a decent warranty and will fit most anyone’s needs. Remember the original Hemi? 90 day warranty. 25K mini truck or that car? I’d go with the car. It wouldn’t fit my perimeter. If I could just talk my wife out of her Genesis. It would be perfect for her.

      Let's pivot this back. Someone said they wanted pictures.   Even better, there's already video. Pre-prod prototypes are already on the road and they're letting the press drive them.   JerryRigEverything did a good review. I really enjoy his content and EV adventures, so I was thrilled when he had the chance to review a Slate:

      Interesting pivot.

      The Charger EV was stillborn. Wrong car at the wrong price for Dodge's intended audience. Now at a good price with fire-sale discounts, and still not selling, it's still very much the wrong car. Again, Dodge's intended audience. I believe a lot of Stellantis' EV blunders were all under Tavares' regime at Stellantis...the board convinced him to move on. Neat car, just wasn't received on the level that would sustain mass production.   Dodge is headed in a better direction for its core business. I didn't think there was anything left to get excited about re: the Durango after its 15 year run, but they're just now releasing a 392 version that should price out in the low 40's. Nicely done. I'm not sure I would touch anything Stellantis makes with a 10' pole these days, but the Durango is still mostly parts designed like 3 parent companies ago so maybe it's still OK?
