    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Neither sir, The transmission in question was built by Gearstar Automotives. Yes, Gearstar and AAMCO are in communications, Gearstar wants to know why their product failed (not a good look on them) snd per the warranty, nothing can be done without letting them know. AAMCO being the shop...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Ill rephrase: In the attatched link, there will be photos of the underside of the K5, along with photos of the transmission (yes, including the interior) Let me know what you guys think, it even gives (unintentionally ofc) an inside look into the ATS Turbo undercarriage crossover pipe. It...

    Here's what's happening now: Ive had it towed back to my home, I called the nearest transmission shop (has high reviews, many aswell) and theyre closed until Monday due to the holiday, but they called me back and I told them what happened, etc. I told them the model I have, plus what the...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    I just dont understand, the fluid is at appropriate levels, no discoloration, doesnt smell burnt or anything. It literally shifts well for half a block until it doesnt (foward, reverse, etc), then if you shut it off and back on, it continues as if notning is wrong. It just doesnt make sense

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    a sad sight to see. Transmission is within warranty with Gearstar Automotives, thankfully. With it being the 4th of July, everything is closed, had it towed home until then (thanks AAA). Any ideas though yall? With everything I described.

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    I should have added this tidbit. Me and my friend were going block by block to get the K5 to a better spot Every single time we turned it off and back on, it would shift like normal until the next stop light, we would repeat the process multiple times without fail.

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Dont know why, but the turning signal (driver side) no longer works, I assumed it was the bulb that went out but the bulb is still fully operational upon checking. The driver side turning signal (and consequently hazard lights aswell) do not work and I dont know why.

    In unrelated news, cleaned up all the grounds I could see (foolishly forgot the GP ones) with a wool wire, along with the battery terminals and connections, etc. First crank since doing so: https://photos.app.goo.gl/3NcnzKVKxwx44HAH8 Belt squeak at startup is gone

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    I should clarify. The sensor is off when the vehicle is off, only when on Accesory or the vehicle is fully on does the "Low Coolant" light show up. And yes, the way the sensor worked (at least in the brass radiator) was that it be screwed in on the side of the radiator and if the Coolant...

    I actually found the sensor for it but when i connected it to the wire it came out off the coolant sign was still illuminated. (Yes I turned the vehicle on and off twice to make sure)
