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

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