The ole (new) Trailboss may have just barfed up some transmission parts....
Here's the stats:
20k miles
5.3/10speed
only driven to church on Sundays by gramma
Here's the conditions:
Rockin and rollin down I-90 into town this morning. Got Eric Church and Lizzy Hale blarin' on the stereo.
Doin bout 80-85mph.
No trailer.
30-40 mph headwind coming up off the Sound.
Here's the symptoms:
-Couple "bumps" felt in the drivetrain, thought it was wind gusts at first, honestly.
-Dash lights up like it's Christmas. ESC, parking brake, wrench light, engine light, maybe more and the incessant warnings to "service" everything on the truck.
-Dash lights go away except for engine light until I mash the skinny pedal again. More "bumps", more Xmas lights.
-Truck runs "ok" right up the speed limiter, but is late/lazy shifting with higher than normal rpms before up-shifting.
- At idle in gear or neutral, feels like the torque converter is hanging up or kicking in/out? If that makes sense.
- Accelerating from a stop = audible whining noise from the middle underneath of the truck...you know, right about where the trans lives.
Truck is supposed to get looked at this afternoon, our Equip Manager is taking it over to the dealer.
Place your bets now! What is this mystery issue?
(PS, at least I got almost 60k miles out of my 2016 Silverado 1/2 ton transmission...)
