Default Re: The weekend from hell....

Apparently the saga continues. I had my tranny rebuilt by a supposedly good source.

I got the truck back a few days later and within a few days, the check engine light came on with a code saying tranny slipping.

I took the truck back to him and he said the converter was slipping. Though it was a new converter, I specifically asked him if the converter wasn't an excellent product (I'm figuring that these are cheap rebuilt converters they stick in the trans when they rebuild them) that I'd spend the money and buy a precision industries converter.

He assured me he's never had a problem with those converters.

I got the truck back yesterday and within an hour, the CEL came back on.

I HATE doing things like this 2-3 times. I called the guy and though he apologized confusely, the bottom line is he's going to pull the trans again.

He was kind enough to offer me his own duramax diesel to drive if I needed a truck over the weekend.

Oh well, here we go again.
