Finally they replaced the transmission

Guest 17 April 2005 01:18:04
 Posted previously to this NG so I thought I would bring trans surgeon
and other's up to date.
Past History on 2002 Silverado 1500HD 4L80E
1st transmission repaired at 20,000 KM
Same transmission repaired at 32,000 KM
transmission failed for the 3rd time but this time I took it to a
different dealer for service. Tech. indicated that this tranny was too
messed up for him to attempt any repairs. So the did a certified
tranny replacement.
Truck has 42,000 KM on it now.

The question that I have now is that the motor ( 6.0L ) is starting to
develop quite a knock at startup and once warmed up and having it
parked for approx. 1 hr. It really hammers especially going from 1st
to 2nd gear.

I'm taking it back to the dealer so that there is a record of this
problem before the warranty runs out. I've been informed by others
that GM will not do anything to fix this problem until they are one
step away from going to trial on a lawsuit.

I know there are others in the States that have found remedy for this
situation and that there is probably a class action law suit starting.

Unfortunately I live in Canada and we do not have any Lemon Laws here
that would give us any recourse.

If anyone has had any success with GM over this issue, I would really
appreciate any help that you can give.

thanks in advance

They will probably not replace due to knocking or oil use. If you can
blow it up they would.


I know a guy who’s wife took their new Saturn in for the first oil
change. They forgot to put oil in it so it was knocking like crazy by
the time she got home. They checked the motor and said it did not hurt
it.

 I had the same problems with the transmission in my 2000 z71. 1st rebuild
at 15k miles, 2nd at 40k, and then replaced with a certified at 41k. The
bastards made me pay 50% for second, then another 50% for the certified. I
was told the second rebuild was fully guaranteed for 10k miles, and when it
went 1 month later, they claimed I threw it into park while moving ( an
outright lie). In one month it cost me 2 grand for 2 transmissions. You
can bet I won't be going back to that dealership again.

 If you had threw it into park while moving more than likely the only thing
you would have done is to snap off the Parking pawl. It would have probably
still worked. It would just roll when you put it in park.. Happened to me
when my son kicked it into park while doing 30 or so, it was an interesting
ride. Got really familiar with the parking brake after that till I fixed
it.

 you should probally move to the U.S so that you can be in a class action
suite and then you would have the lemon laws on your side
