That sounds like fun.

A friend of mine said he'd do it for $100. I said have at it.

And how long did it take him?

And how long did it take him?

I didn't ask. I dropped it off before I went to work and had my boss pick me up. He was done when I picked it up after work.

Been chasing a damn noise on the truck for a couple of months. My last resort was to take it to a transmission shop and after a test drive I was told it was the dreaded TC shudder. I found this out on the 22nd of December. He said he would be closed until Jan 2nd and he would call me. He called me yesterday morning and said to bring it in. He tuned the tranny with HP Tuner and it sure did make a difference. No more noise, firmer shifts and better take off. He told me to drive it and see how it goes. My last resort would be to rebuild the transmission, but he said the 6L90 is an expensive rebuild with upgraded parts. I hope this tune holds up for awhile. I sure as hell can't afford another truck right now.

It's been a couple of weeks since I had the tranny tune and so far it seems to be holding up. I'm still keeping my

Batteries…to the tune of $530. I knew they were getting weak and it was cranking slower some mornings, but this cold snap did them in.
