mcmahan Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Ok so I got my tranny put in everything went ok, It started acting like it was slipping after a few days and I would have to manually shift it to get it to change gears. I have done everything that I can think of. It does not slip when its in gear but when its in D and I punch it, it acts like its slipping and wont catch gear. Now today I start getting a ticking sound from the tranny couldn't figure it out.,think its the plastic inspection cover. I have gone over everything 4-5 times checking for tightness ect ect.. So I pull out my PCM and replace it with my stock one so I can send my other out for re-tune, took it for a test drive and its worse and now my pass side only blows hot air too. Just 10 min prior with my other PCM in it worked and blew very cold air. I am so frustrated and ready to get ride of this truck. It has been nothing but a nightmare the past few months. If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to chime in and tell me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_aSSet Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Isn't that the performabuilt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm3907 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Note to self: Avoid performabuilt transmission. Sucks man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmahan Posted July 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Yes its performabuilt, I am thinking a good retune will work, possible the VSS or TPS is throwing it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desrtrat Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 on your vent issue, disconnect your battery for a 30 sec.-1 min and reconnect it..when i replaced my battery, mine vents acted up to where i only had defrost no matter what setting the knob was on..after reconnecting my battery, everything worked as normal.. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmJake Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 I'm still plagued with oil leaks. As much as i love my SS, i hate it at the same time. It's sitting right now because its too hot out to work on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman31 Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 What converter did you go with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bag Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) Everytime I swapped PCM's I had that blend door actuator problem. It didn't last long, was intermittent. That's what's causing the one side to blow hot. I think that trans unit is a lemon, serious. Steve had so many problems with it, now you. IDK, my P.built is running strong behind a blower.... Let's hope it's tuning issues and BTW, very important: P.built recommends your line pressure to be set back to stock. Just FYI for you and your tuner Edited July 5, 2012 by Bad Ass Silvy (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown 346 Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 To The OP, I would avoid driving it as much as possible if it is slipping like you say. If it is a PCM issue even after it is fixed you can still damage the clutches, bands and anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
