Re: [a/s] ERS
Hi Rich,
I know what the manual says... I also know many and keep hearing of many
people replacing those chevy transmissions.... parked next to a couple in a
campground in St Lousi last fall. They spent an extra day getting there
because they had to replace the tranny in a fairly new Chevy 3/4 ton
truck.They were towing in OD. One of my best friends only towed in OD, she
put 3 trannys into her suburban (lots of mountain driving) before a mechanic
told her to tow in 3rd. I don't care what the manual says.... if you have a
Chevy and want to spare the transmission.... tow in 3rd.
<< I chatted with others, including mechanics about this and one of them said
that the Chevy transmission in that truck is just a little heavier duty than
the ones they used to put into the Chevette.(;>)~ I think they were
exagerating, but it must have been a pretty light duty tranny. The truck
only had like 17K on it too.>>
I rest my case. (c:
