New to these forums but I love cars and trucks 😎
Anyways I picked up a 2000 Chevy Silverado 2500HD with the 6.0 for cheap a few weeks back. Trying to diagnose the trans...
It shifts fine in all the gears.. until randomly it starts shifting hard sort of like a shift kit. If I shut the truck off and restart it, it goes back to normal.
Any thoughts guys? Before I take it in to get looked at
Thanks !

Fluid isn't burnt, red in color and it's the 4L80e and when shifting down and up. 236k miles
Restart truck smooth shifting.

E/ had one guy look at it and told me more than likely shifting solenoids? Does that seems logical?

How the fuel economy?

I'm coming from a half ton 2001 Silverado with the 4.8 and I don't see that big of a difference to be honest. This 6.0 has alot more guts tho!

Good luck.

LMAO, ya I have newer one too, and it's like driving a motor home for fuel economy, especially with my plow I get like 10 mpg. Unloaded on the highway I might get 14 if I'm lucky and I have a new 6.0 (30k miles now)in my 2006 body.
At Hoodownz: Just wait until you get "reduced engine power" randomly all the time, I pray you never see that one.

Haha let's hope not. I still have my 01, for a back up. This truck did come from my uncle which has had it since brand new.. 30 miles. Almost no rust, interior is perfect.. Hopefully it will be a good vehicle.

Mine has electrical gremlins. It runs great for two months straight then does the stupid "reduced engine power" 5 times in one day. It never did it in 150,000 miles before I got the new motor and only did it a few times in the beginning. Replaced throttle body, maf, gas pedal, all kinds of shit and still just randomly does it when it wants. its a terror...lol

Yeah seems like you got a lemon haha. I did see some reports of the reduced engine power message. Good luck tho buddy
