Edit: In addition, their transmissions are shit and they're auto-only, fwd-only cars. I don't likey. Now I know what you're gonna say, "oh you're Tempo is FWD/auto, etc" This is true. Thing is the Tempo was a free fucking car. See how this works? Another thing, the owner of that gold-ish base Impala? Just bought her daughter (my cousin) a black Impala. Think its and LT. THINK. Haven't seen it in person, just pictures. Nice looking thing. Circa '01 I'd say.

On the fabulous 4L60-E four speed automatic transmission that GM thought was worthy of being put in a truck, that stupid pos is going out. By going out I mean it skips gears and "slips" so it seems. Stick it in D and it starts off in 2nd? Thats GM Quality.

There was only BASE (3.4/3.8) and LS (3.8) from 2000 to 2005. The way to distinguish an LS is the fog lamps on the bumper.

BTW, I'm sure your transmission fluid needs changed. If it's a beaten-down work truck as you describe it several times, it may have not been changed / has been neglected. Before you go off saying the Hydra Matic transmissions are garbage, realize that they're only as good as the owner.

My 1998 Chevrolet Suburban had the HM 4L60, and never gave me a bit of problems - even towing a 7,000 pound trailer, pulling trucks out of mud / etc.

BTW, I'm sure it's just a bad solenoid. They go out sometimes. As far as the trans goes, it's bulletproof if maintained.

By the way, I think it's pretty obnoxious that you get your jollies off on harassing people. Pretty fucking low.

Repeat First Down

This truck has had little to do in its flawed life other then drive 15 miles daily to work and back. It has certainly not done half the work our 270,000 mile Ford F-150 or 110,000 Cheyenne have done. This truck has under 90,000 miles and is newer then both said Ford and C/K. Am I to believe Kyle when he says automatics outlast manuals when the first automatic equipped truck in our entire family's history is the first truck to have major transmission problems under 100,000 miles? Whats a new clutch anyway? Well, $300. Whats a new transmission for a Silverado? Maybe, if you're lucky, under $4,000.

I've heard far too many stories of these four speeds being shit in trucks. Our old Venture even had issues with shifting. Thats two Chevy cars in a row that have had problems? Very nice.

Say what you'd like, but I've always had something against these transmissions.. And behold, problems have occurred as anticipated. Its not even that automatic transaxles or Chevy transmissions are bad in general.

you sir are and idiot. :/

I've fucking beatin the leaving shit out of it and it seems to be better then what i got it.

So Conor i have to disagree.

Oh so sorry. Because GMC, Pontiac, etc. are somehow different from Chevy? Dayum, that badge on the grill must make a world of difference!

Dumb shit.
