Its not 4x4 and has a lil over 245k. The other day i drove it from a cold start and i put it in drive and it took off in second gear. I had to shut it off and start it back uo and it went into first and it had really good power and then agian i stopped in the middle of the road and it didn't go into first only second so i shifted to reverse then back to drive and it went right into 1st and then had good power. I know the truck has a holset turbo on it and 4 inch straight pipe and also this thing under the dash where you have to put in this small chip that attatches to the key ring to make it run. Ive never seen that what is it and is that a problem with the tranny or do i need to let it warm up first?

Thats my suburban beside it in the pic!

 

Sounds like a tear down and rebuild may be necessary for that tranny. I am not an automatic guy, so I can't help you too much on them, but someone with some healthy knowledge on them will chime in at some point.

The chip thing is just a starter interrupt, pretty common.

 

Honestly id wait. Me personally i dont like high miled vehicles especially with trans issues. You know what you have with ur current vehicle. There's someone out there with a diesel who wants to get a suv for whatever reason. If u dont need a dually no point in owning one. Two extra tires to buy and they dont last as long as srw.

We do. I do believe i have decided against it which sucks. If it were 4x4 there would be no talking me out of it. Im in the process of getting my frist truck i ever owned back which is a 1972 chevy c10. The guy with the dodge also has a 427 big block i want to put in the old truck so i will stick with that. Thanks for your help guys and i guess when it comes to diesel i will stick to the big boys. I like the 2007 kenworth with that big 500 cat in it!
