his truck is an 06. I dont know what parts are in it but the shop told him it would handle up to 800hp, he lives in santa rosa CA if anyone wants to come pull it.

hey dangerous I think your gonna have to come up if you want it, he wants me to take it down to you but thats a 3 day trip and I cant do that right now

 

I'll make it worth your while!

 

I would love to get into a trans like that! I can afford that one (I think!)

There is the Gov solenoid and another that causes this (I know because mine has done it for a long time. Couldn't find a dealer that would believe me until late last year. Now I have to find out what they replaced and do the other one because it is doing it again.)
If you need to know what both parts are, let me know and I will find out for you. I hear you are better off replacing both because they usually go together. Mine would seem to support that theory!

 

I would but my prego wife would flip if I left her with the kids and took off for 3 days and there is no way I am gonna drive 20+ hours with a 10 and a 2 year old. if she wasnt so far along and grumpy it wouldnt be a problem.

 

Personally, if the stock trans is having issues, I'd dump it and go full built from a builder of your choice. Personally, I'd go Goerend.

Please let me know!

 

How far is this transmission from Reno?

 

please if you can mail me the two solenoids they changed to fix your troubles in your 48re! thanx alot matt milburn!

 

I love reading transmission threads . . . . . .

Ok, the flair into 2nd is easy to fix. Adjust the front band. Torque it to 72 in lbs then back it off 1 3/4 turns. Tighten the jam nut. Torque that to 30 ft lbs. Done. 2nd should be good to go.

Now, on your issue with shifting at WOT, that would be a governor pressure sensor. They are common, and usually also for the light throttle shuttle shift where it can't decide what gear to go into.

As for the hunting for gears going from cruise to WOT, do you have any codes? Stock tires? Adjusted Speedo?

If you plan to do the least possible and try to make it last as long as possible I would upgrade the VB and start that rainy day fund. If you are going to kick out the cash to pull the transmission and do a converter I think you are short changing yourself by not going through the whole unit.

 

You can put the GM electronics in the tranny... cost like 80$ if i remember correctly and it will take care of that 2nd gear issue..

I loved the DTT trans i had put in my 06...
