Was it shifting fine before all this? If so sounds like a solenoid pack, common on the 545/65/66/68RFE trans...

Hi Mattera350,

I regret to hear of the trouble you are currently experiencing with your truck. If it would be of interest, I would be more than happy to escalate a case on your behalf for an additional layer of assistance while you work with your dealer. Our team is just a private message away.

Like Corey said Valve Body something, good news imo. So you have the rfe yes? Good time to do all of the VB upgrades if it isn't under warranty. The GM solenoid seams to be the prefered solenoid. When it comes to anything rfe, only let the dealer touch it if they are paying for it, if not do the real upgrades and updates that can make the rfe one of the best tranny's out there.

Dealers going to cover it just waiting on the call they figured what gave going on day 5 I plan before the next one blows to have it upgraded $5k installed with 100k mile warranty if the dealer washing covering it is have it back as it’s only a 3 day turn around
