Just got back from Yosemite. Nice trip, warmest I have ever been there at about 65 degrees. Had a slight issue with the trans and want to know what you guys think. I had been on the road for about 6 hours, towing 10k with the signature truck with a stock 48RE. We were in the hills at about 5,000 feet elevation. From a stop, starting up a slight grade, was in low 1 or 2, 55 degrees outside and the trans was at 140 degrees measured in the pan. The trans shuddered about 3 times, a couple seconds apart. I really don't think it was a gear shift but maybe??? This was about 5-10 mph. It was the only time I have experienced this and it didn't happen again the rest of the trip.
I have not replaced the gov solenoid or pressure transducer/thingymabob but that is on my to do list.
I change the trans fluid every 30 K. About 15 quarts +/- of ATF $4. Trans always runs 130 to 160 degrees, rarely hotter.
Truck has 120,000 miles.
thanks,
Tom
