Wonder how much this will cost me..... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

LOHRTBT · 01-23-2003, 09:50 PM

I just have a bad feeling....Just went out to warm up my truck...Its cold as ass here! Now all the sudden it sounds like I have gear drive....hmmm...What fun Am I in Store for???

Great!

Tom · 01-23-2003, 09:58 PM

gear drive huh? Check your oil level and tranny fluid level.

ocbaud · 01-23-2003, 09:58 PM

its your rear anti sway bar, if it is on my truck it wouldnt make that sound

yeah, well my torque converter is pooping out on me i think. i'm pretty sure my tranny is still underwarrenty, there was an 18 month warrenty on it, and it was rebuilt last january

Big Paul · 01-23-2003, 10:33 PM

Dave, i'd get to that very quickly, it could be just low fluid though.

I let mine go with the "sweet" sounding whistle until I was on the freeway going 15MPH and the engine buzzing around 5000RPMs.

You've got a 700r4 right?

ocbaud · 01-23-2003, 10:50 PM

hey, that reminds me, i need to check my tranny fluid!

79Silv4x4 · 01-23-2003, 10:55 PM

power steering pump?

LOHRTBT · 01-23-2003, 10:58 PM

It stopped....hmmmm....P/S pump is new.

**swervin ervin** · 01-23-2003, 11:12 PM

Dave, I know were not voting here, but my vote would be alternator. I know it's newly rebuilt, but stranger things have happened.

**swervin ervin** · 01-23-2003, 11:13 PM

BTW, how cold is ass? I was always under the assumption ass was warm, no?

LOHRTBT · 01-23-2003, 11:23 PM

lol....you know the funny thing is...THat was the 1st thing I thought about but it seemed to be coming from the compressor side of the motor.

WEll, I guess I will See if it happens in the morning. Im off half a day tomorrow so I will change the oil and do a good check of things.

messed up c-10 · 01-23-2003, 11:35 PM

it may be as cold as ass outside but my truck is always 20 to 25 degrees colder inside in the mornings. Except during summer then its the opposite.

ocbaud · 01-23-2003, 11:40 PM

just got back from getting tranny fluid, it was bout a little/lot past the add line on the stick

drove it around the block to test it, it seems be shifting smoother.

i could also spin my tire from every stop i made. it also doesnt make that scary tapping sound it used to make when i accelorated heavly from a stop, or shifting from drive to reverse or vice-versa

Now you got me scared. I have to go check my fluids now!

EDIT: Everything is fine. The Oil is as black as ever and the tranny fluid is high.

Prerunner1982 · 01-24-2003, 01:55 AM

ok now i need to go check mine, but at 12am and in the teens outside.. i will wait...

*mike reeh* · 01-24-2003, 03:04 AM

hmm tough one to call. All good guesses though. except that Ive heard all of them make that exact noise

and come to think of it, 90% of the time they are "new" to begin with.

time to break out the old shadetree stethoscope? (heater hose)

Yes their very cold when your half asleep in bed and the wife places her ass on you and it's ice cold!! Worse than cold feet against my legs!!! BRRRRR!!!

J-Spec C10 · 01-24-2003, 04:58 AM

Big Paul · 01-24-2003, 06:09 AM

Cold feet suck!! What am I, a leg warmer???

Back to the subject. When my TH400 was going out, it made that gear-driven sound when it was first started up and for a short time after that when I would accelerate hard. The consensus from everyone I talked to then was that it was the torque converter. If your tranny has any age on it, that may be the culprit. However, I would check easier stuff first!!

IT'S A 3 0 5 !!! go buy a real small block.....

*1FaastC10* · 01-26-2003, 09:36 PM
