Trans UPDATE: 5-19-06
Finally got the call that they replaced the entire tranny yesterday so I arranged to pick up the truck after work. As you said 92TripleBlack, they did make all efforts to make this go away and that says alot for the service dept. They were somewhat quiet and did not say much except that they were very sure that it was fixed and I should not have any further troubles. I stayed cool and it now seems my trans troubles have faded for now.
Roadtest:
The first thing I took note of is that the truck is now shifting smoother than the day I drove it home. 2nd-3rd gear transition is flawless and all the other gears seem to go hardlly unnoticed. Second thing was that I noticed the x-mission temp gauge (at full vehicle temp) was reading much lower on the scale than it did before. All this said, I have def. come to the conculsion that this thing was damaged from the start
I truly hope this is the last of the "major" hick-ups on my '06 LE. At 2,800 I have hardly got to know this thing. I will however go on record saying that for those who are considering an '06, I would still recommend it.
that is all
