The post whore thread.

I?m pretty sure it is the 4L60E. At least according to an online VIN look up app.

Most likely it is this if its a half ton.

I was under my truck a lot this weekend too. Only it was in the desert since we were camping in Moab. Minor stuff, but car stuff takes me a long time to do by myself. Then once I fixed the minor stuff, I immediately took a test drive through camp and high centered on a rock and punched a hole in the scavenge pan of the tranny and pinched a wire in half. So that was actually a major issue that left to my own devices would probably take me a week to fix on my own in my garage. My awesome friends helped me do it in a single night, in the dirt and in the dark.

Speaking of transmission, I was about to post this on Vehicle thread, but I would rather post it here . (so that it won't get hijacked by other manufacturer fanboys. Or certain power unit fans.)

So, My mother and I was going to Parker to take care of something, and her vehicle transmission in the middle of Parker Rd won't get into 1st gear. Put it on P and Changed it on N and D, and it still would not engage a gear.
When we turned off the vehicle in the middle of the Parker Rd with hazard sign, and started the engine on, it was finally back to normal. (Assholes were honking like uncivilized people.)

We parked the car at the strip mall, and tried to see what the heck is going on. Nothing. No code. No warning light.
I know this transmission was "lifetime fill", but it was not really a true statement. Damn Daimler Corporation.

The Mercedes 722.9 transmission comes from the factory "sealed for life", yet they make a replacement transmission filter, fluid and gasket.

Now, I gotta call my mother and she needs to bring the vehicle to my place on Fri to do Transmission service. I need to order a Transmission service kit online tomorrow.

Sounds like a broken sun shell, Bob. At least I think that?s what they call that part. Kind of the week link in the design. Not an expensive part but if you go that deep into it then might as well freshen the whole thing up anyways.

Those sealed units (IIRC) usually require mfg specific fluid. My toyota does, even thought there are 2 kinds available. Unfortunately, vehicle takes the dealer specific fluid, of course.

Toyota WS fluid.
OE specific fluids are pricey.

?Saturday Morning?
First two words of the second sentence of the original post................

Sorry, got confused. Transmission out on Saturday morning, you had lots of info about costs, estimates, etc. so I "Ass U Me"d you had spent the day on the phone. Then took wife's car for haircut, meaning Sunday.

Befuddlement and Satire do not mix!

Late start...

Good morning

[Irving]

Coming over the pass last night got rowdy in a hurry. Ended up pulling one of the rigs off a trailer, to tow the tow rig and trailer up the pass while weaving through traffic. Jeeps without 4wd should have to use a different bathroom, by the way.

You've had all sorts of adventures this week Irving.
