another one bites the dust.
 
well...

as i was getting off the highway on my way home from work tonight i lifted off the gas and the transmission immediately downshifted HARD and i thought "wtf that was wierd" so i turned the radio down and kept going off the exit and towards home......so right before i turn into my neighborhood i hear somthing banging like the truck is dragging its exhaust or somthing metal hitting the ground. so i pull over a couple blocks from home and look under and NOTHING is hanging down from the truck, get back in, put the truck in gear and am greeted with a nice banging continue home with the nice noise rattling away. guess its back to the dealer tomorrow :rofl:

btw, if its ruled that its broken, thats 2 in 27k miles...........4l65e FTL

One of my teammates has the same truck and is having all kinds of problems with his, too.

GM and the dealers would prolly benefit if they just tossed a 4L85e in it and called it a day....
