2008 CHEVY SILVERADO 2500, GAS ENGINE, 34,600 MILES. TRANSMISSION IS HAVING ISSUES THAT DEALER CANNOT SEEM TO FIX. NEW PUMP PUT INTO TRANNIE, STILL HAVING PROBLEMS. USUALLY HAPPENS IN TOW HAUL MODE, HAULING APPROX 5,000 LBS. TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT UP, HOLDS AND REVS TO 3500 OR 4000 RMP'S. I TAKE FOOT OFF GAS AND IT BUMPS INTO GEAR. MOST OFTEN HAPPENS AT 35MPH AND 55 MPH. WHEN SLOWING DOWN TRANSMISSION SLAMS INTO LOWER GEAR AND REVS VERY HIGH. AT 55 MPH ON I-435 IN KCMO DURING RUSH HOUR, TRUCKS TIRES LOCKED UP AND SQUEALED WHEN TRANNIE DOWN SHIFTED. HAS A MAJOR ISSUE BETWEEN 30-40 MPH. AGAIN, SLAMS BETWEEN GEARS THROWING PASSENGERS FORWARD (I DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT HOW IT IS AFFECTING THE HORSES!) WE ARE FIRST AND ONLY OWNER OF TRUCK. TRUCK TREATED VERY WELL, NO OFF-ROADING OR ABUSE. SAD THAT WE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE..... IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 35,000 MILES ON IT!!!!! *TR
