Almost guarantee the customer had a problem before he got the transmission flushed. They never wanna fess up
@bigdaddymak1439 That's what I think too. He went to the dealership because he was having a problem & asked them to do a flush not knowing it would create a bigger problem. We will never know. Thanks for watching & leaving a comment. Keep wrenching! Kenny
@@WrenchingWithKenny those transmissions are horrible for bad torque converter clutches.
He did. He was thinking the flush would fix it.
It was so nice of them to leave you with 1/8th tank of fuel for a drivability issue.
@MaverickandStuff That's always the way. Driveability issue = no gas. Gas leak = full tank. 🙄 Keep wrenching 🔧 Kenny
Had the exact same issue with my 2017 at just over 80k miles. I never did a flush, and I personally did one fluid and filter change on it at 60k. But I went to leave work one morning and the trans would not pull at all. Had to replace the transmission. I did disable the AFM after and installed a dynamic thermostat bypass in the transmission after. Since then my fluid temps have never been above 167 degrees at max in stop and go beach traffic. My truck drives better now than it did new. Just wanted to share my experience. Keep up the excellent work Kenny. Hope your Wife is doing well.
Worked on aircraft for 28 years I bought two items from snap on there just a big over priced rip off
You are most definitely the "Master" mechanic/technician. You sure know your stuff. Watching you diagnose a situation like this is actually enjoyable. You make it look so easy when in reality I know that it is anything but easy. Well done brother Kenny! Keep Wrenching!!!
@glennfields8121 Good morning brother GlennBob. I hope all is well with you. The weather here has cooler off considerably. It was 60 degrees when I left for work this morning. Thank you for your kind words. I truly appreciate them. Meg sends her love. Keep wrenching, brother. Kenny
Kenny you are fabulous such Patience and integrity
@davidmann4533 Thank you for your kind words & for watching the channel. Keep wrenching! Kenny
So aggravating when someone clears the codes just before bringing their vehicle in. They do that and i just tell them to go away and come back when the check engine light comes back on and DO NOT clear the codes.
@StevenDaugherty-uo5cs It really is aggravating. I like to think they just don't know any better. Thanks for watching. Keep wrenching! Kenny
I don't know what the new converters are like but with the older ones I would find a steep hill and reverse up it you will soon know how good the converter is
This was shown to me by a transmission specialist a few years ago
I am 74 and have been a licenced mechanic since I was 17 this is just to show I have a little experience with mechanics
@johnsimmonds4144 Interesting, I have never heard of that. Almost 60 years in the business. That is commendable. It is in the blood. I love being a mechanic. I can't imagine not working on cars. Thanks for watching & leaving a tech tip. I appreciate you. Keep wrenching! Kenny
Thanks Kenny
I don't see the point in being in a job that you hate you won't be any good you must do the job you love otherwise look for something else.
These days with computers in cars has taken away a lot of natural ability to be a REAL mechanic if you give the newer mechanics a car with points and a car you and no computer very few would be able to diagnose it I was taught to use your senses sight, touch ,smell and hearing if the car does this it's that and so on
Sorry for the rambling but I get annoyed with today's (mechanics) from what I have seen the majority are part replac ers NOT repairers
Thanks
John
Can't spell carby bloody spell check
People never change transmission fluid until AFTER they have a problem. Changing transmission fluid should be done BEFORE you have a problem. Oil is cheaper than metal.
What I don't get is how he says he never changes trans fluid if it has more than 100,000 miles.
Really?? Why not??
The way I see it transmission oil just recirculates at very high temperatures for 100 thousand or more miles and gets totally worn out. I have seen and felt trans oil that wasn't even slippery or oily from being worn out.
If your trans oil has that many miles on it and you don't replenish it with real oil things will just start wearing super fast.
My Ford has 250,000 miles on it and power steering started growling horribly. Fluid was probably original so I did a non- running open return line flush and replenish 90% of the oil. It made the pump totally silent again.
The transmission was getting slow and needing to manual shift the first few times through the gears after being off and a couple of oil changes later it still needs help but works a lot better. It is on its last legs but I'm trying to make 300,000. I just trusted it for 1000 mile road trip- no problems.
Have 2016 Silverado 128,000 miles with same transmission. Just had remanufactured transmission put in 2 weeks ago. Exactly the same symptoms as you are showing. Converter came apart and destroyed 4-5-6 clutches. Thankfully I have an extended warranty over $6000.00 repair.
Active Fuel Management was a bad idea. Curious to see what you find
Everyone has a smart phone… no excuse not to have taken a picture of the DTC prior to have clearing it 🤦🏻♂️
Most generic scan tools give generic codes and not the real code present.
My 94 chevy s10 with 662,400 miles with the 4L60E trans never rebuilt has had 27 trans services and still shifts like new !
What motor?
@scottmoondogjakubin4766 WOW! Great job on maintenance. You probably have a 2.2L engine. Keep wrenching! Kenny
One cause of the torque converter problems is the Dexron 6 ATF which is not recommended not to use 2015 to 2019.The replacement fluid is the Mobil 1blue label lv hp fluid,Jasper will not warranty their reman this transmission if this fluid is not used
My 2005 Sierra 2500HD use to go into limp mode and got worse as time passed. My issue was the TPS but on my truck it was not replaceable. I ordered the throttle body ACDelco on Amazon. Put it on and it had been years now with no more issues.
Even with a vehicle brand with known transmission issues the issue can/may be avoided by changing the fluid ! My 2011 RAM 5.7 hemi,auto,4wd. I now have 287493 miles on it. All fluids have been changed on a regular schedule. Not a single engine or transmission problem. People if you want to and intend to keep your vehicle for a very long time it's quite simple. Maintenance! Replace all fluids on a regular basis. Trust me it'll save you a lot of money and headaches in the long run. Like the old Fram commercial used to say. Pay me now or pay me later.
@michaelmartin2276 Say loud for all the people in the back!!! Maintenance is key. I agree with 100% Thanks for sharing your experience. Keep wrenching! Kenny
Ah the famous Chevy Shake on the 14+ trucks I had a 13 GMC Got rid of it with 24K on it Lifter failed at 16K Just before I got rid of it the trans had started making a noise at higher RPM best I can describe it as a noise like a super charger.
We have box trucks based on the vans. Took one for a drive testing for trans issues. Did fine till I got on it once Then it did like this truck But bad enough it would pause long enough between a gear it would hit the rev limiter.
Looking forward to your video on the warranty companies. I assume they are scams for the most part
I see where car shield just paid a 10 million dollar fine for deceptive practices
@tombeilman5579 It's about time! They are horrible. Thanks for sharing. Keep wrenching 🔧 Kenny
I purchased an aftermarket 3 year warranty when i bought my used 09 Silverado with 124000 miles 3 years ago. It just covered powertrain components. It covered a fuel pump replacement (minus small deductible). I believe it added about 3 grand to my loan. I'm on the fence about it, I guess the peace of mind was helpful especially with the AFM/transmission issues these trucks have. It's now at 137000 miles and seems good to go. Unfortunately the warranty is expired so knock on wood no issues.
@philspear73 some of the warranty companies are worth the money. Some aren't worth the paper they are printed on. Honestly, it all comes down to maintenance. Thanks for watching. Keep wrenching! Kenny
@@WrenchingWithKenny looking forward to your video on this.
If its the 6L80, it's probably going out. The days of long lasting transmissions, with few exceptions, are gone now. The modern over geared transmissions are just too busy hunting gears like a crack addict in my neighbors medicine chest.
@greggc8088 You're right. They should have just topped off the fluid instead of changing it. Thanks for watching & leaving a comment. Keep wrenching! Kenny
As a shop owner, I believe I can speak for all the mechanics out there.
As a customer of a vehicle. When you take your vehicle into a shop. STOP clearing codes. Don’t go to an auto parts store and have them scan your vehicle. They will end up clearing all the codes.
It could potentially save you money in the long run. Because, when you clear all the codes out. It makes our job that much harder. And if we have to spend the extra time re-creating the codes to fix your vehicle, it will end up costing you because of the extra labor.
clearing the codes, it does not fix the problem. If anything, it causes problems. Just trying to inform all of our customers out there. Just my thoughts, Ron
@ronhannink1968 I absolutely agree. You nailed it. We have to try & figure out what is going on instead of having codes to work with. Some shops turn the customer away until the code comes up again, but that can cause additional damage to the vehicle. Thank you for sharing your experience. I appreciate you. Keep wrenching! Kenny
@6:45 dang Kenny, world traveler!
A way to keep his location secret?
My 2015 Sierra never threw a tranny code. $4000.00 to rebuild at 133k miles. It would take off fine in the morning and then begin to fail. Yep, it felt like multiple misfires. The 6l80 is weak, and cylinder deactivation helps it fail faster. They usually fail between 80k and 150k miles. Make sure you get an upgraded torque converter for your trans rebuild. Changing fluid out doesn't seem to matter. Designed to fail.
I had a 1993 Taurus that did the same thing. Turning it off and turning it on made it run right. I'm curious how the problem was re-created!
Definitely will be looking forward to the video about car warranties!
Not something I'd consider buying! Maybe good information to share with friends.
No Mexico joke this time? Too bad, it really tickles my ribs!😂 Good luck in the Islands!
@tombeilman5579 Mrs Wrenching was disappointed, too. I will be back in Mexico soon enough. Thanks for watching. Keep wrenching 🔧
I will help him out , there were no Mexicans in the Olympics this year , the ones that could Jump , Swim , and Run are already in America .
Curious Kenney, Is that a Mandatory, Fuel almost empty for the repair man?
Never flush only replace fluid and filter
I've been replacing my trans oil and filter every 75k.
I'm at 375k.
Flush has its place. It replaces all the fluid vs some of the fluid. Done at the correct intervals it’s better.. done at the incorrect intervals it’a not a good idea.. once you crest over 80k it’s too late for a flush. Fluid and filter change at that point
@mattdudley3789 I agree with you completely. You don't want to disturb anything at that point. Just top it off & go. We have 340K & more on our vehicles. Keep wrenching! Kenny
I can only dump about half of the oil but it's mostly about replenishing with fresher oil that is not worn out.
I just did a ' half replenish ' for the second time in my 250,000 mile ford trans. It's helping.
Changing 90% of the worn out fluid in my power steering made the loud wailing pump silent again.
@@2nickles64760k is better.
Why did he have it flushed? Did the dealer upsell or was it already having issues when the customer hoping a flush would fix it. In my 40 years as a Master tech it can be either.
@johnrpizzaguy The customer isn't saying. Thanks for watching. Keep wrenching! Kenny
The transmission shutter is a known issue that recommends fluid flush and refill with a different transmission fluid!
Friction Modifiers maybe?
Now that you mention it, who's to say the dealer didn't put the wrong fluid in?
Also, I've heard bad things about power flushes. I don't know if that's what they mean by "flush".......
Your SnapOn scanner will do that, Kenny. If you have a current update/subscription and an Altus account. I had one years ago on my Modis Edge.
Hi Ken,thanks for showing us the scanner.I bought a 451 x launch last year and have a hard time getting into the live stream data. A lot of people say never to flush your tranny.The launch has the report feature. Please show more launch.
@peterwill3699 I will try & use it today. Keep wrenching 🔧 Kenny
Throw some snake oil in it and drive it till it blows. You could trade it in at the dealer that did the flush. Good diagnosing as usual Kenny.
One of my friends has had terrible luck with Chevy pickups over the last 5 years. First brand new unit had transmission problems, could have been your current issue. Back and forth several times to the dealer until the warranty was up. He traded it in for a more powerful diesel model. That had steering issues pulling to the right so badly that he could have driven off the road. Once again back and forth with the dealer and the problem was never completely fixed. They even got into a minor accident while servicing it, with 5K miles. Now he's thinking of another trade in. I don't know what to tell him.
long time ago called 4 tranny shops in albany ny area. all 4 asked mileage. all 4 said NO FLUSH... was high miles over a 100grand. change filter and add new as needed. i didnt flush .
@XPFTP Yup. That's my recommendation too. Thanks for watching & sharing your experience. Keep wrenching 🔧 Kenny
Never do a full flush, save the old oil. Had the exact same issue put a tube of Dr.Transmission, all the shuttering went away. If not put the old fluid back in...
Thanks Kenny! Great video. I have a 2018 with same transmission. It only has 44k. Manual says change fluid and filter at 45k. Should I do it? I plan on giving the truck to my grandson in 18 months. I really enjoy your videos and glad to hear Mrs Wreching is getting better!
Wrenching with Kenny says NEVER CHANGE TRANSMISSION FLUID. Here is another example of when you SHOULD change the transmission fluid. Oil is always cheaper than metal. The problem is they never changed the fluid until they had a problem. It wont fix it now. Its new transmission time.
@eddiereichel9354 You're probably right. They noticed an issue, (not having done maintenance before) brought it into the dealer for a transmission flush & now they have a bigger problem. Thanks for watching & leaving a comment. Keep wrenching! Kenny
And yet ANOTHER known issue with this manufacturer. I had my transmission replaced at 126418
Beware Mr kenny, when you go into the Gallopocos look out for GODZILLA
😂😂😂😂 back to Mexico for me! Keep wrenching 🔧Kenny
Lubegaurd red
A lot of people call the parts department at the dealership to find out what transmission they have.
Interested in hearing what you say about after market warranty.
Uggg, dealer washed away the friction material and glue. No bueno
@robertdiehl9003 That's exactly what happened. Now he has a bigger mess to deal with. Thanks for watching & leaving a comment. Keep wrenching! Kenny
It's a torque converter. He screwed up having that transmission flushed. Usually those 6L80's need to be heat soaked then the issues showed up. I got lucky and caught mine just as the converter started acting up.Transmission time for that guy.... Please do a video on warranties. I'm actually wanting to get a warranty for my truck very soon and any info would be helpful.
Why would clean transmission fluid cause a transmission too fail. ?
If that is true.
When the truck came off the lot, it has brand new fluid. Did it fail then?
Old ladies tale about flushing the transmission and failing.
Or you see it on a TSB from the manufacturer.
@@2nickles647flushing breaks The friction materials Lose & sludge from the clutch paks.. manufacturer design & Engineer All vehicles to Fell. Pure Junk....
Had a U-joint cause a vibration just like that. Of course no code for that.
Never liked many of the Snap On scanners I used over the years. Boss had a couple, the Modis model, etc and some small launch code readers which I preferred using. He had got a bigger style launch I used a LOT....He bought gov. auction cars now and then, I had to drive the hell outta some of em. Have the scanner hooked up to watch the systems 7-9 fields of Cat Conv etc. Soon as the final set, usually the Cat, I'd head right to the smog shop near ours....
Launch scanners I found are cheaper and sometimes a LOT better than the overpriced Snap On's hahaha My Ariz. job, boss bought a nice launch to use on the 6.0 Fords, since we did a LOT of those for contracters etc....Can't remember how may oil pumps, and egr systems I fixed, for the dreaded die out or no starts.....I did so many, I had the turbo off and on my bench in 10 minutes !! I never knew so much about the 6 liters than I learned there, and a LOT , right here on CZcams videos hahaha
why the black out in your video? lol
Flush shocked the transmission.😢
@bryanalbright3019 Yup! Thanks for watching & leaving a comment. Keep wrenching! Kenny
Top up transmission fluid but don't change it
I was impressed with the scanner, but I work almost exclusively on Mopars. Is this Kingbolen scanner just as useful on mopars as it is on GM's and Ford's?
@budlanctot3060 Yes. I think you will be happy with the scanner. Thanks for watching. Keep wrenching! Kenny
@WrenchingWithKenny does it require a subscription fee? Any extra licensing fees to be required for Stellantis vehicles?
@budlanctot3060 It's a $50 annual subscription for AutoAuth for 2018 & newer Chrysler or Stelantis products regardless of the scanner manufacturer.
Time for dr shudder 😂
Acting like a 200k towing transmission.. Check the Drive Shaft also.... Missing weights,U-joints going out. to much back-lash a the diff.
My money is on torque converter.
I believe that it is beyond saving with fresh fluid and Lucas transmission treatment.
Corrosion in plastic connector is my guess
What kind brand quality transmission oil was used.
Was transmission filter/s changed?
Did they have the transmission flushed because they had a problem ?
Yes, i was holding my breath for a little bit of the trucks history...i turned blue😨 kenny was only talking about emailing and printing today.
I bet yes
Wow scary thoughts on not lasting very long.
@jeffp5673 Yea, I would not have done a tranny flush on it, just a fill. There is dust, dirt & metal flake in there keeping things in place. Keep wrenching! Kenny
Hey kenny how do you like that scanning tool kingbolen
@billseay6399 I really like the kingbolen. I'm definitely glad I bought it. My coworker uses it often because it is easy to use too. Thanks for watching. Keep wrenching! Kenny
165k miles shows up on the scan tool. Maybe that’s km equivalent?
Void it br a transmission speed sensor?
So what if there is a problem the code will come back
Gas And Match Problem Solved
Yikes, that escalated quickly. Keep wrenching 🔧 Kenny
@@WrenchingWithKenny I only work on my own junk anymore lol 04 Silverado 4.3 changed the lock cyclender yesterday no gas or match needed lol
😂 safe repair then. Well done!
AFM?
Active fuel management. Also known as cylinder deactivation.
I see the computer screen bouncing?
May needs transmisión fluid?
I wondered that, too.
sticking open intake valve.. takes out the other next cylinders... random shudder.. learned on airplanes decades ago...
was weak/cracked valve spring
resonating
2 diffrent springs per valve..
Hello Mr Kenny, hope y'all had a wonderful day. 🎉 What day is it today Mr Kenny? 🐪 Day lol 😅. You have to use your experience and expertise. Which I already told ya , you're sometimes much smarter than the scanner. Oooooops Mrs Meg will tell me to stop bragging on ya. Heads already swelling 😂. Anyways hello Mrs Meg 🎉
