Tranny say NO!

 

BOOM.

 

 

 

Yup. 2nd gear went bye-bye. Will know more once they get it all apart, but for now, it's down for a while and I'm pimpin' the crew cab Silverado loaner.

 

:D

That sucks. How many miles on it?

 

Now see if you would have been running AMSOIL ATF there wouldn't be an issue. :D Just kidding.

 

Make sure they flush the whole system, cooler included to get out all the pieces parts. Yes they should know to do that but it doesn't hurt to remind them.

I'm not going to say a word. Let them screw it up and have it blow again. I'll throw a big enough fit to get them to extend the warranty out to 100k. :D

 

It's got 14k or so on it.

I see in your sig it says "Tuned by Ed Wright (FastChip)."

 

Did you take that out of there before bringing it in? If they see an alteration to the PCM, they could (if they wanted to be hardasses about it) say that the shifting programs were modified and that caused the failure.

No, I didn't take it out. And as far as I know, it would be pretty difficult for them to see that stuff, as they'd have to be specifically looking for it. Then they'd have to prove that it's what caused the failure. The AWD's are sh*tting transmissions left and right all over the country...It's a very common thing over on TrailblazerSS.com.

 

I want a 5 speed manual :D

Hell, I'd settle for a 3 speed if it meant I got a manual.

 

/had a 3 speed in an El Camino behind a 400 that would almost hit 90 in 1st.

el camino, mullet, Wingnut you're always in stylistic syncronicity.  Please don't tell me there were old milwaukie or olympia beer cans in the bed also at the time.

 

 

 

 

That's right...ANd when I get old and my hair falls out? I'm going to have a skullet.

 

And the bed on that truck had gray carpet in it...No empties back there :cheers:

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle.    What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      Navigating senior years.

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
