2007 Silverado 2500HD Transmission Slipping

Just to point out - I am not a mechanic, but I am trying to educate myself before I take it somewhere to have it looked at as I am broke and if this is something I might be able to at least purchase aftermarket and get a friend with some know how to do I will. Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

I have a 2007 2500HD, VIN 1C6SRF JT2KN890086

 

Transmission slipping once hot. Not doing any kind of heavy driving. Checked and filled fluid properly, not overfilled. Had fluid flushed at a shop. Still slips. Not consistently however. No clear direction from the shop other than taking it to a transmission place which will likely cost me dearly I’m afraid.

 

Are there any specific known issues with these transmissions I might check? Are there any controls or computers or modules that tend to go bad that would cause this. Any other steps I could take that would allow me to troubleshoot further?

 

Thanks again,

The front pump is likely gone at this point. The pump is built into the bell housing and will get chewed up when the torque converter starts to fail. It sends metal through it and slowly kills it.

 

My opinion is that this point you are either looking a rebuild or finding a junkyard unit to swap it out with. If you go the used route, you will need to have it flashed at a dealer before you drive it, so it would need to be towed there as the TCM must be programmed to your truck. And if you go the used route, buy a new torque converter as well.

Thank you - I appreciate the info. I had feared it was pretty serious due to age etc. Will see if I can find a decent used one to swap out and while the TCM doesn’t appear to be cheap it will still be cheaper than a whole new unit and labor. Thanks again!

You don't need to buy a new TCM, just a torque converter if you get a used transmission.

 

The TCM is part of the valve body on the transmission. If you find a low mileage unit, that would be best. Swap the transmission and converter out and then take it to be flashed so you can drive it.

 

Not really sure what low mileage used 6L90es are going for right now. You may also want to research which years you can use. There will be a year breakdown because the TCM might only be useable if say it came from 2007-2009 or something like that.

Thanks so much for all the knowledge, I have found a friend who has a lift and know-how who is willing to help so hopefully between my engineer crazy brain and his wrenching along with the fine knowledge we have here I can maybe get it fixed a bit cheaper going slow and methodical. Glad I work from home! Thanks so much guys!

      If we actually used any significant amount of that source in the USA then I'd agree but we don't. We've had that discussion before. We drill and pump more than we use. Thing is, we sell. We export. Gas and Crude. It's more profitable so any shortage here is self inflicted and LEGAL.    I worked a gas plant that has multiple fuel sources available and I worked in the furnace and boiler plant in that facility. I'd had days we swapped fuel types four times in a twelve hour shift which isn't done on supply but on margin. Two of the fuel sources are internally generated. Tail gas and DAK, both of which are sold as well a consumed. We always had more than we needed to run the process but we chose the fuel that produced the best margin not bought at the cheapest price always. A good bit of math to that and back in the time that was done on a slide rule.     I worked the Shale Oil Semiworks of Chevron Research and CONOCO Research in Salt Lake City. That process never went into production although it was very successful. Why? Did we lack oil bearing shale? Nope. Price of crude never made the margins work. That was in the late 70's early 80's. Remember history? What was happening then was a reaction to that situation. It didn't drive it. If so then it's easy. This isn't a supply and demand thing. This is a profit and margin thing and AI rules that now.    In no refining situation that I was ever in would a bomb hitting a well anywhere in the world 'instantly' interrupt or even distress the supply. Most plants have more than a months worth of crude in the tank field and more in pumping stations. That yo-yo could play out over days, weeks and maybe months and have zero impact on plant operations. How many times has this been off and on in the last few months? These people and not stupid. These plants measure down time in hundreds of thousands of dollars per day. They are not sucking fumes or waiting on the next truckload with baited breath. Besides, as I noted, they are for the most part 'vertically integrated'. They own it from the dirt is sits in to the delivery rack and sometimes to the pump. It has a HUGE shock absorber built in. When production suffers, refining wins and when refining is winning exploration is killing. The rest of that crap in the news is a 'news cycle'. Government dipping in to reserves? Oil is stealing their milk money. There's a reason Chevron abandon Venezuela infrastructure and it had nothing to do with security of US citizens. Nationals run those plants. it has to do with MARGINS disappearing to corruption. They are in no hurry to return. Is there supply there? Oh yea. More than enough to offset what is bought in the middle east. Just isn't ???? Profitable.    We have supply. There are places in Illinois you can drive a pipe into the ground and run your homes natural gas furnace on it.    A refinery fire will gum up the supply works but not a localized war where the market is using a limited supply from. Now Europe, that's something other....

      $4.00 a gallon here now.   Diesel nearly $5.00 again.

      If we're talking futures, yes, it's speculation.   The spot price of a delivered barrel is elevated now compared to before the conflict. And that is related more to current supply/demand.

      SPECULATION on the wars effect raised prices. AI is maximizing the profit. Refining is vertically integrated.
