trans slips after truck sits
Hi, question for you. Because of fuel prices the truck has been sitting more. lol When I do get to drive it though and start and put into drive it takes a while for the truck to go. Is this something that the dealer can fix? Never had a auto trans slip like that before.
thanks
it's a 2004.5 auto 4x4

Just changing one valve in the VB will address the drain back issue and allow the trans to circulate fluid in drive. While your at it a shift kit is a good addition and will accomplish the same thing.

The simplest way to avoid the problem without spending any money is to just put the truck in neutral right after starting it. That will allow fluid to circulate and fill the converter back up. I usually do this because my trucks sets for a week or two at a time and I just let things get flowing and watch the oil pressure. Once it's up....the trans is usually ready to go. Free and Easy.

Torqueflite has had that problem on some of them since they came out with the thing in 1965. Running it in neutral as was posted is the answer short of spending money on it. Trying to start moving dry will cook the clutches. You can drive it forever without hurting it using neutral to refill the converter. Only takes a couple of seconds.
