Transmission problems? or "breaking in" ?
I'm suprised at the positive response from you guys... I was expecting more like "don't accept a "used" transmission etc" I guess what they did was unusual.. the main reasons were: a) the truck had 600 miles on it and I barely had it in my possession. b) I bought 2 vehicles from them at the...- ottoman

Transmission problems? or "breaking in" ?

Changing the Valve Body didn't do it.. in the end they went whole 9 yards, they took a truck off the lot and swapped the whole damn thing out Torque Convertor, Tranny, TCM etc... seems to be ok now, but I went straight to work and didn't have...- ottoman

PIC REQUEST: New Tires with stock wheels, or Stock tires with new wheels?
yeah I was thinking of that as an option as well... but those are dependant on luck (generally I have little of that) on a side note I used to live in Ft. McMurray back in the day... nice to see another Alberton! -

PIC REQUEST: New Tires with stock wheels, or Stock tires with new wheels?
I'm looking at upgrading the rolling gear of my truck.. but change both wheels and tires together might be a little too hefty for the wallet at the moment my dilemma: it's brand new I live on the other end of the globe not many other vehicles to sell on to. so it will sit in the garage... -

13' Ram vs. 14' Silverado
I was holding out for a long time for a new Sierra... some of the reasons: 1.)where I live GM has much better resale then the Ford/Dodge counter parts 2.)you get a "new truck" which is more future proof for at least 5yrs vs a "face lift" but with the RAM, it was much better bang for the...- ottoman

Transmission problems? or "breaking in" ?
UPDATE: suspicions seem to be that it's the Valve Body causing the issue... none available in stock.. ETA unknown... they will check with other dealerships around.. but I doubt they'll find it there either...- ottoman

Transmission problems? or "breaking in" ?
UPDATE: so the truck spent the day at the dealer. They reset the codes and said the updated the transmission and test drove it. And said it was fine.

Transmission problems? or "breaking in" ?
Thanks for the kind words and a useful post.. Fluid level did cross my mind during the past couple weeks actually. But I didn't actually dig under the hood to look for the dipstick. Partially laziness and partially the poor weather. And as you said with a new vehicle that goes through a PDI I...- ottoman

Transmission problems? or "breaking in" ?
It gets better! So I took ppls advice saying im grannying the truck too much and I should flog it. I found an open quiet road and floored it a few times up and down rolling start and from a stand still.. I turned off traction and put it in tow haul mode. Even under hard accel I still...- ottoman
