If it told you to check the transmission, there's a code stored. But chances are it's an enhanced code or a U, C or B code that your code reader can't read. A professional scan tool is needed to read those codes. The computer never posts a message without setting a code. NEVER.

Sounds like you have some EGR ports clogged up, remove the intake and look at the egr ports all but
#1 cyl port will probably be at least partially clogged, hope this helps

SOURCE: I was driving down the

Your transmission overheated!!! it will do this again. start off doing a basic transmission service.
TIP: Take your vehicle to a trusted mechanic and ask for the transmission oil change but don't mention the transmission light incident or they will try to get to restore the transmission without even knowing what the problem is.... If the light comes on again after the service then I recommend you you have it diagnosed and get an estimate on how much it will cost to repair, Then determine if the car is worth the service! It will be expensive. Ballpark figure around 1400 - 1800 to have it rebuilt.

Try changing the fuel filter first we always change them when servicing the fuel pump anyway,its easy and cheap,if that doesnt solve the problem you will have to perform an amperage draw test on the fuel pump to insure your not replacing a good pump. Check the fuel pump relay and inertia switch and wiring also.Although possible its unlikley the fuel pump would blow a fuse consistantly without displaying any driveability problems.There may also be another component running off the fuel pump fuse have your mechanic pull a wiring diagram to find out. Good hunting keep me informed

SOURCE: transmision overdrive light started blinking check

Without the information as to why you had the Tranny rebuilt at 51K, I can share with you most likely the problem as per my experience with these units. The Valve body or Block depending on the year is going to be the accused problem as well as repair. Yet the reason most fail is actually the Servo inside the Trans Case itself.
Some common complaints associated with a 5R55S / 5R55W are high TCC slip RPMs under increasing loads, slip codes, and converter apply or release concerns. These complaints are often caused by wear at the ID of the TCC modulator plunger valve sleeve, due to constant oscillation by the pulse width modulated TCC solenoid. This plunger valve positions the TCC modulator valve, which feeds line to the apply circuit, which controls slip rate. Wear of the sleeve will allow the TCC slip rate to continue to rise, and could prevent full lockup.
The Servo kit assemblie restores hydraulic integrity to the TCC solenoid circuit with precisely tolerance parts. The elevated modulated pressure, will not raise apply pressure to the point of TCC piston fatigue, and will result in firmer TCC apply and reduced slip RPM in heavier use applications.
02 Explorers built prior to 03/04/02 with a 5R55W Tranny; can show no 3rd Gear, or slippage in 2-3 gear, with diagnostic codes P0733 & PO745 present.This may be due to a broken Band. Two tests will easily confirm or deny this problem.

Most assuridly the valve body or block will need to be replaced. But further investigation as to why should be a concern or the Valve Body or Block will be no more than a band aid. Repeating itself within a few months. Improper dianosis for these units are why so many Ford Owners are constantly bad mouthing explorers in the Forums.

I have a 2003 Chevrolet suburban when I start it up the transmission shifts smoothly but once I drive about 50 miles or more the tranny starts to slip please help

If the vehicle has more than 90,000 miles on it the transmission should be rebuilt. Chevy used the 4l60E transmission in Suburbans and it is not quite strong enough.A good rebuild will change all clutchs and plates along with the sun gear and cage.Also all electronic modules.I had mine rebuilt at 125,000 and afterwards pu an additional 200,000 on it without any slippage.

Throwing code P1750, checked the solenoids and they were fine. Tranny was replaced at 90,000 miles, it is at 120,000 miles now. It's hard for it to shift into gears, which is confusing considering that it...

When tranny was replaced, were all lines and trans cooler flushed? Was converter replaced? Try flush and refill trans fluid and replace filter.

DIRTY TRANSMISSION OIL .

no but a low fluid level could cause a slip telling the ecm there is a slip top it off then clear the code and drive a few miles if this code comes back i would say there is internal damage to the tranny

What are the oil change guidelines for 2005 E-350 superduty chassis with more than 90,000 miles...the same question for the transmission fluids?

The good practice is to change the oil every 3,000 miles...but what really dictates this is what type of driving condition you are incurring.

If you drive all highway miles then an oil change between 1,500 and 3,000 miles is highly encouraged.

Dirty/dusty conditions....definitely around 1,500 to 2,000 miles.

The average for tranny fluid/filter changes goes from the additional 60-90,000 mile mark and then every 50,000-60,000 miles after that....it is shortened by heavy duty and dirty/dusty conditions.

My transmission is slipping . How do I check the Fluid

You have to go under the car and check the level. It is much like the engine oil drain on other american cars. It is a nut/bolt where you have to eyeball the level of the fluid. There is no traditional dipstick under the hood. It has a sealed transmission and you need a special tool to check fluid levels. slipping transmission usually occur on high miles cars form worned or defects if its low miles. My personal opinion is that truck,suv and vans i recommend transmissions flush every 75k on hard driving or lots of pulling and 100k on normal driving. the only best thing to do is to take it to the shop, have it flush with new filter and see if it solved the issue, if not than you have transmission problems. again the tranny oil can be dirty and clogs up the valves in the tranny may cause it to slip and not engaged. if you have to replace the tranny, get it from junk yard or ebay for 300-400 bucks, rebuilt one will cost you much more.
