Well here you go boys
Well on the way into work Monday the 48RE bit the big one, kinda. I knew the converter was slipping but never thought it would take out the trans. On the way in the truck would slip hard going from first to second. But it never kicked a code and only after the oil got above 150*.
Dropped the truck off at the shop Monday night they pulled the trans Tuesday ordered a 3 disc low stall converter and rebuild kit with a trans go shift kit. Picked the truck up this afternoon they showed me the clutch discs and steels. Third gear was warped discs were pitted and the TQ was full of pieces of disc.
Now I have to say I'm a bit disappointed as I have changed the fluid and filter every 30,000 miles so at 139,000 to have a TC go south is not making Don a happy camper, plus the fact that our bank account is $1,900 lighter also.
