Left the house yesterday morning @ 3:30 am to head to the ocean to go Tuna Fishing. I arrived at the boat @ 5:30 am, hung out with my Dad and family for a while and we decided to go eat breakfast. This was at 7am, I hopped in my truck go head to breakfast, fired it up, threw it in R. It just sat there, it did not go anywhere! I was like WTF?????????? I put it in D, it didnt go anywhere, 1, still no go. So I removed the tune, still nothing. I unhooked the batteries, let it sit for 2 hours. Hooked the batteries back up, still no go.

So at this point I called the rollback. Good thing my neighbor has a towing company, so right now the truck is sitting @ Norris Ford of Easton, MD.

The wierd part that is that I just drove it 106 miles to the ocean, it sat there for 90 minutes and it is messed up!!!

Since we have talked in instant messenger, I wanted to add in what was goin on. You mentioned that the tech had drained the fluid and refilled it. That sounds to me like the screen was clogged with something. If the one of the clutch packs came apart and got sucked up into the screen. When it was drained the screen cleared out and allowed fluid to fill the packs again. Since you went back to stock and the problem didn't go away. I'm gonna have to say pull the trans out and find out whats up internally. Many of you will ask why didn't the external filter catch this stuff, well fluid only flows to the cooler when the internal thermostat opens at ~180 degrees and sends fluid to the cooler.

I talked with Jschall about this and he mentioned it was a suncoast rebuild kit that was installed. Was there anything wrong with the trans before the rebuild?
