Autos can do that if the fluid is low, burnt or nasty. It causes it to loose line pressure and can't put enough pressure on the clutches in higher gears. Change fluid and hope there hasn't been to much damage. Also possible, The electrical connections were soaked and trans controller was getting false info. Either way, change your trans fluid and filter at least once but better a couple times after about 1-200miles. Don't take it to get flushed though! Change those diffs fluid too!! Have fun!
Hey mike. Had a 95 Silverado with the 4l60e trans. It was stuck in 2nd gear just like yours. Check the trans fuse in the cab and make sure it is making good contact with the terminals in there. I had to bend the blades of the fuse a bit to get good contact.
@@dallasdelano8235 You have a 4L60E. Had a coworker with a 98 suburban having that issue. His was the ignition lock or gear selector i dont recall to well its been 2 years. Could also be the solinoids in the trans too like 4 of them. Id just drop and get a built for fun. Have it built stronger and never need to touch again. My 05 z71 i though about dropping and rebuilding. Simply go tired of replacing so much stuff i bought new. Motor is strog, trans works little hesitstion on 2nd to 3rd.
Sounds electrical...whether it be the fuse connection or some type of water intrusion in a connector. Don’t listen to Steve and his shade tree mechanic nonsense.
Did water get into the trans? I know civilian jeeps (cj) to drive thru a river you need a water proof shifter, wiring harness, and distributor. The military ones came with those from factory so military can drive thru water. Obviously those are a Manuel but im sure water could cause a trans to shift funny. Could be blowing if you heated up the trans in the mud. I would recommend dropping the trans pan and see if the fluid is burnt or full of metal chips or water. Might aswell but a filter in it while your down there. Also if you replace the trans or not you should install a trans temp gauge. Auto transmissions heat up in mud and die easily.
Mike you need to talk to Shane about extending the breather tubes for the differentials, the transfer case, and the trans before you go bogging again. You're just filling them all with water. A fluid change on all would definitely be good. If there's water in the transmission the water will cause the clutch pack materials to separate. The slipping is most likely that you got water in one of the transmission electrical plugs. They don't usually loose a gear and then magically get it back. I'd get some dielectric grease and put in the plugs, it will prevent most future problems of that nature.
Check the outside of the transmission for seeping and leaks. If water gets in the transmission, it will force fluid out of the vent tube. When you did the snorkel, you should have extended the vent tubes for the diffs, transfer case, transmission and even the gas tank to the highest point to avoid moisture getting in.
it could be the speed sensor on the back of the trans by the driveshaft, if that was disconnected or soaked it can do some weird stuff with the transmission
My truck did the same thing. Went through some really really really deep water. Water filled through the truck. And through the trans vent, water got through and filled up the trans. The truck had all of the gears for a couple days then progressively started slipping until I didn't have any gears at all. Fluid wasn't burnt or anything. The fluid just got mixed with water and destroyed the clutches in the trans.
@@tmrdarkstar85 your ass backwards the 4l60e never had a kick down or a cable to control the shifts .now the 700r dose .made from 88-92 in the gmt400 .

There is a neutral safety switch connected to the transmission that keeps track of what gear its in. It's a common GM issue that these can get water inside them. Same thing happened to my '02 Duramax when it snowed alot near me. Cost me $100 to replace it. Now it works and shifts fine!

I believe most automatic transmissions have a bleed valve and can take water in the ATF and I believe if you are planning to go into water you’re supposed to plug the valve so water doesn’t flood it Now that’s all speculation I’m not 100% sure
transmissions and diff cases have breathers on them to relieve pressure. when you put it under water you probably have water in the fluid now. drain fluid, replace filter , etc. then start shopping for a transmission. do the same for front and rear diffs.
Install a trans temp gauge so you dont over heat the current and or new trans. Automatics cant take the same abuse as a manuel when it come to heat. Also of you put a trans in it put a trans fluid cooler in it because that will lengthen the life time of it even if it doesnt get taken off road.
Hey Mike put in an all weather floor liner. My Ram has one and I love it. No carpet to get dirty or clean. Simply vacuum um the dirt and wipe it clean. Or like a raptor liner on the inside. Same difference.
Mike buddy...take it from a mechanic...take it in for a reputable shop for a complete service, trans flush, transfer case drain and dill, service the diffs etc. Then once that's all done have the vent hoses for all extended up above where you think you'll go as far as water depth to keep water out of those vital parts. Water is the enemy of the automatic transmission...
And mike, what I would suggest is since it's an automatic there's a vent somewhere on your transmission in what I would do is find that vent and somehow extended it where water can't get into the vent that's probably what happened and you probably still got water in ur transmission.
Change the fluid/filter, pull any trans electrical connectors apart and dry and load them up with dielectric grease before you snap them back together. Also extend your vent line to it's up high.
Here are some suggestions for you. That Blazer was so deep in the water, I would change all fluids and filters. Engine oil, trans fluid, 90 weight gear oil in front and rear ends, tranfer case, etc Take a dehumidifier, put it inside the Blazer, put all the windows up, turn on the dehumidifier on full blast, and it'll get all the liquid out of everywhere. Either hook up the hose to automatically drain, or empty the dehumidifier frequently. As far as the 720, you've probably lost confidence in that car. In the back of your mind, you don't want to be on fire, and not know it, at 200 mph. Since you had thought to maybe get the 720 spider anyway, go for it. Your channel keeps getting better. Be safe.
Since the Blazer is running again , after the flood it's time to change the fluids in the engine , transmission and check the axles , but don't forget the filters that go with them , I would think anyway , just a thought .
My bad but I understand where you people are coming from but what I meant was drain the fluid from the pan and the trans cooler that's all. I understand a (flush) can damage a trans if done improperly. Mike has a lot of friends whom know more than we do I was making him a suggestion.
I remember when I took my winter beater to get a fluid change when I was 16 they taught me that they just topped it off they told me brand new fluid would almost certainly cause my transmission to go out at a hundred and eighty thousand miles if it wasn't done consistently throughout the life and since I didn't know because I bought it so old I had to take their word
Drop the transmission pan check the fluid see if it’s burnt or has any metal shavings. If it does most likely the 3/4 clutch pack burnt up but if the fluid doesn’t seem burnt could be just a shift solenoid going out.
drain all your fluids and replace filters also for starters as mentioned below diffs also keep the carpet out and Line-X your floors/plug holes,etc. you could always have some kind of throw in carpet or mats. prob better for what you do with the vehicle if your going to river ride do some waterproofing....diff breather vents relocated....any electrical connection below water levels,etc
Before you by that transmission, I just thought I'd mention that you have a 4L60E . My 94 suburban does . I know I just replaced it with one from a friend . The 700R4 has a cable to make the trans work the 4L60E is the computer controlled version . No TV cable .
My 95 Chevy lives on no maintenance roads here in SD, I’ve buried it to the bottom of the doors in mud. After multiple reverse to drive no lift shifts it overheated the trans. Wouldn’t come out of 2nd gear either. Water had gotten in the contacts for my trans also, sprayed them off with contact cleaner and re greased them, haven’t had a problem since. Besides the trans going out 2 months later😂🤦🏻♂️
Bedlining the floor traps moisture between the liner and floor. It’ll rust the floor out, use a metal sealer not a bed liner or regular paint, it’ll look good but the floor pans will rot plum out
I don’t know if you will read this but you need to change your transmission filter and clean the vacuum line, I took mine mudding all the time and had to do that
On the side of the transmission there's a plug if that is not plugged in you will not get all your gears in the 700R4 so the water was probably gave it a bad connection after it dried you probably got a good connection that's why it's working now
All transmissions have a vent on the top of the transmission so that the heat can escape and not balloon the transmission case, you probably got water in through the vent and in the transmission so a trans flush should be done as soon as possible.
Your issue may be the 2-3 shift solenoid going bad. I believe your transmission is the 4l60e or 4l65. You can test them just by running power to them and hearing the click, you just need to pull the oil pan and it probably wouldnt be a bad idea to change the transmission fluid and filter anyways. Like the videos!
I would take all the electrical connections for the trans and dielectric grease them to fix that problem, also I would rip out the carpet and put in a spray in bed liner for the flooring and you will never have to worry about carpet again and you can get the spray in bed liner in rattle cans which is cheaper
Just like others have said, yes please flush the trans fluid. Im assuming its a 4L60E transmission. I used to own a 95 Suburban with a 7.4L and a 4L80E trans. These things are unstoppable. The 60E is just a smaller variant. What I have experienced in the past is that the electronic shift solenoid can fail.... In your case it took on to much water and probably screwed up your shift points.. Im sure its fine, I would swap out the fluid and the solenoid is fairly cheap... Mind as well do that while your at it. Also.... Look into an electronic shift kit for those trans. I installed one on my 4L80E... took about 15 min, cost about $75 and MAN! WHAT A DIFFERENCE! The shift point changes will shock the hell out of you! Good Luck!
LOL I WOULD GUESS IT WAS WAY TO WET.... THINK OF ALL THE CONNECTION'S & HOLES & LINES & OLD RUBBER LINES & GOSH ALL THE LIL THING'S UNDER THE BLAZER THAT TOOK IT ALL LIKE A CHAMP............... IT JUST NEEDS T L C .... & SOME MAINTANCE NOW................
Hey just gat a transmission I flooded my 4l60e and I fixed it all and then a week later the plantation gears shredded, fixed that did new clutches and bands the whole 9 yards and it started to pressure problems, I replaced the value body and it still had problems, I bought a new one from monster transmission for 1,800 and the transmission is bad ass now not a single problem shifts great etc
The spyder has no added content to it and the 600lt doesn’t have a whole lot of hype after all plus porker has his and it’s not as cool as the 720s. 720s is a godly vehicle so keep yours
***MIKE, YOUR TRANS WENT INTO "LIMP MODE"...*** basically when you have some serious issues w/the trans, the trans comp will allow the trans to go into 1 & 2, so you can get to a safe location. It could have had water on the connectors at the trans or it's comp. *I HIGHLY RECOMMEND FLUSHING & CHANGING TRNS FLUID & FILTER* You might want to put "dielectric grease" inside all of your electrical connectors, it repels water to keep them dry, you can put on any electrical connector on your veh. Hope it helps!!! SORRY STEVE, IT WONT SLIP, IT'S A ELECTRICAL ISSUE, NOT A INTERNAL TRANS ISSUE(SUCH AS CLUTCHES & STEELS)
Life with a ford you do a lot of sitting on the side of the road. a lot looking at your truck with the hood up... Chevy runs fine~ Mike (street speed717) lol
Mike I would say that if you did not get any Water in the Transmission of your TAHOE OR BLAZER what ever you call it it will be fine you need to make sure there is no Water in the Transmission & the big reason that could have not Shifted right is there are all kinds of Electronic Connections & Sensors under that Truck I would say you got all of the Electronics WET & when you let it sit that 1 day it dried out & worked (BUT DO CHECK THE FLUID IN THE TRANSMISSION & MAKE SURE IT HAS NO WATER IN IT) that is vital if there is any sign of Water in it GET IT OUT change the Fluid right then it might not be a bad idea to get it changed anyway
Transmission control module was wet, it dried out, and now it's happy. It will do it again when you get it wet, take the electrical connections off it and fill them entirely with dielectric grease and then put them back together.
What happens is the water is less dense then the transmission fluid, automatic changes gears off of pressure in the torque converter, the water takes a lot more pressure to shift then what third gear needs. So what happened is you have let the water leave a little and it is more transmission fluid then water. I would change the fluid and I think you will be ok, I did the same thing in my Jeep and a transmission fluid made it a lot better.
The wiring on the side of the transmission? Or the wiring to the transfer case speed sensor. My 97 had this issue. Had to rewire the corroded harness. It's pretty exposed under there
As other have suggested, do a flush and filter change on the trans. Also a good idea would be to drain your diffs. I bet you likely sucked water in through the breathers or seals. I’d get a set of ether the sealed balloon accordion style breathers or a kit like ARB breathers. Yours diffs with thank you later. While your at it get some lockers for that thing. Road trip it and do some actual off-roading and rock crawling. That will truly test just how great the blazer really is.
Pull the padding off the carpet and steam clean the carpets, the padding is what absorbed most the watter, used to work at a Toyota dealership would do it to vehicles that had water leaks, no carpet will get hot fast
Mike what probably happened to the transmission is you don't have the breather valve relocated to a higher spot than the original location and water was sucked into the transmission. I guarantee if you drain the fluid it has water in it. Also never use your reverse gear in recovery situations as it's a very weak gear in transmissions and isn't meant for heavy loads.
If everything beats an 80s Chevy why is it that everyone wants an 80s c10,k10,k5 with a 350?... Because they're cheap, reliable, and better looking than anything on the road today!
Duncan Stratton no, they’re cheap that’s the only reason, so when it’s cheap you can replace everything that breaks because everything will break, other than that no one fucking wants those junkers
Cody Laird that's funny, I had a Ford before and the 5.4 triton that was in it blew a head gasket within a month of buying it. It was full of new antifreeze and oil, never had that problem with a Chevy. I had a Dodge with the 5.7 magnum and I paid just under $10k for it and within 6 months I had to replace the whole AC system and rebuild the transmission. I took it 2 master mechanics with 30+ years and they both said they are worthless vehicles. I have an 87 Blazer with a 350 and a 700r4 with over 600k, minimal rust and only issue was I had to rebuild the transmission once and typical maintenance.
MIke, can't recall what your yout tazer is but if it is a 1995 and later it might be a gen 1 4l60E and not a 700r4. That being said it will probably get hot and slip some like Steve said in the video but it also might be because water got in the transmission connection on the plug (if it is a 4l60E). You can reach up on the passenger side and see, if there is a plug harness there then it's the 4l60E and if it has the TV cable connection then it is the 700R4.
Make sure you change the diff, transfer case, and transmission fluid may have water in the transmission or electric servo got to wet on trans, good luck!
Sounds like the control module got wet or a connector. Hell, even a fuse or the ignition lock will cause the nuetral issue. Had a coworker with a 98 suburban do that. Rebuilt the trans, and put a new ignition with shifter in the colunm. Worked fine then
Transmission has a small vent that allows air in and out to accommodate for changing pressure. If you get it under water it will suck water it. So water could've evaporated if that was what caused it
Change the trans fluid and yeah no body cares about the green goblin because we can go to any other channel and see super cars muscle cars and the dirty max is why I started to watch in the first place
I haven’t done it yet but with the jeeps they say if you submerge it in water for an extended period of time that afterwards to drain the axles and trans fluid (depending what was submerged for that extended period of time)
I see some comments about flushing the trans.... NEVER flush a GM transmission. You'll move and remove stuff that's best left alone. As far as the shifting issue going away, was probably just moisture in the pigtail connection where the trans and truck join together electrically on the transmission pan rail.
When you take the carpet out you should do some sort of rubber lining on the floor to prevent any further water/mold damaging anything and you should totally seal it up and seal up all the electronics.

@@kage_231agree with ya. Just pointing out how funny it sounded
@@kage_231 but in any sense, if the trans dried out...you are gonna have problems...
And mike, what I would suggest is since it's an automatic there's a vent somewhere on your transmission in what I would do is find that vent and somehow extended it where water can't get into the vent that's probably what happened and you probably still got water in ur transmission.
Have the entire interior coated with Rhino Liner and forget about reinstalling the carpet.
Change the fluid/filter, pull any trans electrical connectors apart and dry and load them up with dielectric grease before you snap them back together. Also extend your vent line to it's up high.
Better fix the plug on Tran and drain water out before next water adventure...
Here are some suggestions for you.
That Blazer was so deep in the water, I would change all fluids and filters. Engine oil, trans fluid, 90 weight gear oil in front and rear ends, tranfer case, etc
Take a dehumidifier, put it inside the Blazer, put all the windows up, turn on the dehumidifier on full blast, and it'll get all the liquid out of everywhere. Either hook up the hose to automatically drain, or empty the dehumidifier frequently.
As far as the 720, you've probably lost confidence in that car. In the back of your mind, you don't want to be on fire, and not know it, at 200 mph.
Since you had thought to maybe get the 720 spider anyway, go for it.
Your channel keeps getting better. Be safe.
"If its like Kansas then dont go"
Ive never felt more attacked
Lmao same
Good
Since the Blazer is running again , after the flood it's time to change the fluids in the engine , transmission and check the axles , but don't forget the filters that go with them , I would think anyway , just a thought .
Bro you should do a full trans flush video and a diff fluid change and I think that'll help the Blazer and you man.
@@captainstabbin9338 Amen! Only change the fluid a few times & do a filter change! But do NOT flush it!!!!
@@captainstabbin9338 Yes, I meant to say that as well. I got in too big of a hurry. Thanks!
My bad but I understand where you people are coming from but what I meant was drain the fluid from the pan and the trans cooler that's all. I understand a (flush) can damage a trans if done improperly. Mike has a lot of friends whom know more than we do I was making him a suggestion.
I remember when I took my winter beater to get a fluid change when I was 16 they taught me that they just topped it off they told me brand new fluid would almost certainly cause my transmission to go out at a hundred and eighty thousand miles if it wasn't done consistently throughout the life and since I didn't know because I bought it so old I had to take their word
Drop the transmission pan check the fluid see if it’s burnt or has any metal shavings. If it does most likely the 3/4 clutch pack burnt up but if the fluid doesn’t seem burnt could be just a shift solenoid going out.
Bruhhh! That bronco on your instagram you need to get that asap! But still keep the blazer ofcourse lol.
drain all your fluids and replace
filters also
for starters
as mentioned below diffs also
keep the carpet out and Line-X your floors/plug holes,etc.
you could always have some kind of throw in carpet or mats.
prob better for what you do with the vehicle
if your going to river ride do some waterproofing....diff breather vents relocated....any electrical connection below water levels,etc
Maybe the transmission control module was still wet and needed more time to dry🤷🏽♂️
Before you by that transmission, I just thought I'd mention that you have a 4L60E . My 94 suburban does . I know I just replaced it with one from a friend . The 700R4 has a cable to make the trans work the 4L60E is the computer controlled version . No TV cable .
That's not a 700r4 btw. It's a 4l60e
Here's the comment I was looking for. Lol
JOHNTORNOUT but a 700r4 is a better trans and will fit a 5.7, that’s what he was saying
My 95 Chevy lives on no maintenance roads here in SD, I’ve buried it to the bottom of the doors in mud. After multiple reverse to drive no lift shifts it overheated the trans. Wouldn’t come out of 2nd gear either. Water had gotten in the contacts for my trans also, sprayed them off with contact cleaner and re greased them, haven’t had a problem since. Besides the trans going out 2 months later😂🤦🏻♂️
Clearly your bulldogs are mechanics and fixed it for you 😜
Bedlining the floor traps moisture between the liner and floor. It’ll rust the floor out, use a metal sealer not a bed liner or regular paint, it’ll look good but the floor pans will rot plum out
You need buy a pressure washer
I don’t know if you will read this but you need to change your transmission filter and clean the vacuum line, I took mine mudding all the time and had to do that
No not the blazer it was one Of my favorite vehicles 😢😭😭
Best vehicle he owns next to the dirty max, definitely the best content vehicle though!
On the side of the transmission there's a plug if that is not plugged in you will not get all your gears in the 700R4 so the water was probably gave it a bad connection after it dried you probably got a good connection that's why it's working now
Go 720 all the way. And I used to have a Jimmy. Same thing as a Blazer. Those things are bulletproof
All transmissions have a vent on the top of the transmission so that the heat can escape and not balloon the transmission case, you probably got water in through the vent and in the transmission so a trans flush should be done as soon as possible.
Flush fluids, instal trans temp gauge, put a trans oil cooler on it.
Your issue may be the 2-3 shift solenoid going bad. I believe your transmission is the 4l60e or 4l65. You can test them just by running power to them and hearing the click, you just need to pull the oil pan and it probably wouldnt be a bad idea to change the transmission fluid and filter anyways. Like the videos!
Its the transmission position sensor the samething happend to my 05 audi a4 Quattro after we went through a flooded road
Well that's an Audi what u expect
I would take all the electrical connections for the trans and dielectric grease them to fix that problem, also I would rip out the carpet and put in a spray in bed liner for the flooring and you will never have to worry about carpet again and you can get the spray in bed liner in rattle cans which is cheaper
I wanna see a video of u washing the blazer
Just like others have said, yes please flush the trans fluid. Im assuming its a 4L60E transmission. I used to own a 95 Suburban with a 7.4L and a 4L80E trans. These things are unstoppable. The 60E is just a smaller variant. What I have experienced in the past is that the electronic shift solenoid can fail.... In your case it took on to much water and probably screwed up your shift points..
Im sure its fine, I would swap out the fluid and the solenoid is fairly cheap... Mind as well do that while your at it.
Also.... Look into an electronic shift kit for those trans. I installed one on my 4L80E... took about 15 min, cost about $75 and MAN! WHAT A DIFFERENCE! The shift point changes will shock the hell out of you! Good Luck!
Idk maybe the transmission was to hot or just to wet not sure.
LOL I WOULD GUESS IT WAS WAY TO WET.... THINK OF ALL THE CONNECTION'S & HOLES & LINES & OLD RUBBER LINES & GOSH ALL THE LIL THING'S UNDER THE BLAZER THAT TOOK IT ALL LIKE A CHAMP............... IT JUST NEEDS T L C .... & SOME MAINTANCE NOW................
Hey just gat a transmission I flooded my 4l60e and I fixed it all and then a week later the plantation gears shredded, fixed that did new clutches and bands the whole 9 yards and it started to pressure problems, I replaced the value body and it still had problems, I bought a new one from monster transmission for 1,800 and the transmission is bad ass now not a single problem shifts great etc
The spyder has no added content to it and the 600lt doesn’t have a whole lot of hype after all plus porker has his and it’s not as cool as the 720s. 720s is a godly vehicle so keep yours
600 is slow compared to 720
***MIKE, YOUR TRANS WENT INTO "LIMP MODE"...*** basically when you have some serious issues w/the trans, the trans comp will allow the trans to go into 1 & 2, so you can get to a safe location. It could have had water on the connectors at the trans or it's comp. *I HIGHLY RECOMMEND FLUSHING & CHANGING TRNS FLUID & FILTER* You might want to put "dielectric grease" inside all of your electrical connectors, it repels water to keep them dry, you can put on any electrical connector on your veh. Hope it helps!!! SORRY STEVE, IT WONT SLIP, IT'S A ELECTRICAL ISSUE, NOT A INTERNAL TRANS ISSUE(SUCH AS CLUTCHES & STEELS)
Life with a ford you do a lot of sitting on the side of the road. a lot looking at your truck with the hood up... Chevy runs fine~ Mike (street speed717) lol
Mike I would say that if you did not get any Water in the Transmission of your TAHOE OR BLAZER what ever you call it it will be fine you need to make sure there is no Water in the Transmission & the big reason that could have not Shifted right is there are all kinds of Electronic Connections & Sensors under that Truck I would say you got all of the Electronics WET & when you let it sit that 1 day it dried out & worked (BUT DO CHECK THE FLUID IN THE TRANSMISSION & MAKE SURE IT HAS NO WATER IN IT) that is vital if there is any sign of Water in it GET IT OUT change the Fluid right then it might not be a bad idea to get it changed anyway
I swear Mike..if you bed line the interior of the Blazer before the bed of the Duramax..🤦🏻♂️😐
Jonathan Gangloff for real lol
Transmission control module was wet, it dried out, and now it's happy. It will do it again when you get it wet, take the electrical connections off it and fill them entirely with dielectric grease and then put them back together.
Also drain the front and rear diff oils. Anytime you go in deep water for a long time chAnge out those things but STOP driving it
What happens is the water is less dense then the transmission fluid, automatic changes gears off of pressure in the torque converter, the water takes a lot more pressure to shift then what third gear needs. So what happened is you have let the water leave a little and it is more transmission fluid then water. I would change the fluid and I think you will be ok, I did the same thing in my Jeep and a transmission fluid made it a lot better.
Sure I like my McClaren. But you know what I like more than a McClaren. Books.
The wiring on the side of the transmission? Or the wiring to the transfer case speed sensor. My 97 had this issue. Had to rewire the corroded harness. It's pretty exposed under there
So sick of seeing those McLarens.. They have become the Teslas of super cars.
Interested to see what you do with this build! Just bought myself a 96 Silverado step side! So this build is helping me get some ideas
You should do a black interior swap that would be cool
As other have suggested, do a flush and filter change on the trans. Also a good idea would be to drain your diffs. I bet you likely sucked water in through the breathers or seals. I’d get a set of ether the sealed balloon accordion style breathers or a kit like ARB breathers. Yours diffs with thank you later. While your at it get some lockers for that thing. Road trip it and do some actual off-roading and rock crawling. That will truly test just how great the blazer really is.
so early the quality is only 360 xD
Dr.Madfate it still is after over 50 minutes
It still is
Still is for me as well...
Pull the padding off the carpet and steam clean the carpets, the padding is what absorbed most the watter, used to work at a Toyota dealership would do it to vehicles that had water leaks, no carpet will get hot fast
Best TH-camr yeahhhhhh like if it’s true!!!!!!
Thanks Streetspeed !!!!!!!!!!! Do a video with Goonzquad!!!
Mike what probably happened to the transmission is you don't have the breather valve relocated to a higher spot than the original location and water was sucked into the transmission. I guarantee if you drain the fluid it has water in it. Also never use your reverse gear in recovery situations as it's a very weak gear in transmissions and isn't meant for heavy loads.
Mike do a true 80s K5 next! Broncos are nice and all and I'm a huge fan of them but nothing beats an 80s Chevy!
Duncan Stratton literally anything beats 80’s Chevy
Bronco> Any Chevy
If everything beats an 80s Chevy why is it that everyone wants an 80s c10,k10,k5 with a 350?... Because they're cheap, reliable, and better looking than anything on the road today!
Duncan Stratton no, they’re cheap that’s the only reason, so when it’s cheap you can replace everything that breaks because everything will break, other than that no one fucking wants those junkers
Cody Laird that's funny, I had a Ford before and the 5.4 triton that was in it blew a head gasket within a month of buying it. It was full of new antifreeze and oil, never had that problem with a Chevy. I had a Dodge with the 5.7 magnum and I paid just under $10k for it and within 6 months I had to replace the whole AC system and rebuild the transmission. I took it 2 master mechanics with 30+ years and they both said they are worthless vehicles. I have an 87 Blazer with a 350 and a 700r4 with over 600k, minimal rust and only issue was I had to rebuild the transmission once and typical maintenance.
MIke, can't recall what your yout tazer is but if it is a 1995 and later it might be a gen 1 4l60E and not a 700r4. That being said it will probably get hot and slip some like Steve said in the video but it also might be because water got in the transmission connection on the plug (if it is a 4l60E). You can reach up on the passenger side and see, if there is a plug harness there then it's the 4l60E and if it has the TV cable connection then it is the 700R4.
Hope ya fix the blazer I liked the videos on it
Interesting
Make sure you change the diff, transfer case, and transmission fluid may have water in the transmission or electric servo got to wet on trans, good luck!
That’s a Chevy always runs and drives no matter what unlike fords 😂
I'll have you know I have a ford and I'd just like to say you are RIGHT
My Ford has never broken down in the 4.5-5 years I’ve had it.. always gets me home #5.4
Don’t believe me go check out send it Steve’s recent video that’s fords on a daily 😂😂
Sounds like the control module got wet or a connector. Hell, even a fuse or the ignition lock will cause the nuetral issue. Had a coworker with a 98 suburban do that. Rebuilt the trans, and put a new ignition with shifter in the colunm. Worked fine then
steve is wearing an LS shirt fixing his ford on the side of the road. NOT A GOOD LOOK STEVE!!!
Transmission has a small vent that allows air in and out to accommodate for changing pressure. If you get it under water it will suck water it. So water could've evaporated if that was what caused it
Change the trans fluid and yeah no body cares about the green goblin because we can go to any other channel and see super cars muscle cars and the dirty max is why I started to watch in the first place
Right. Same here. That's what money does, makes you lose your way! The 570s was cool watching it smoke Demons.
I haven’t done it yet but with the jeeps they say if you submerge it in water for an extended period of time that afterwards to drain the axles and trans fluid (depending what was submerged for that extended period of time)
Lateee upload son!! I Just Saw that the 570 has your old rims!
Lormo - your a little late
Lormo - also u look gross
@@dylankloepper1724 Youre a dumbass. Just FYI
Mike if you're going to go through water like that extend the vent tubes on the diffs , trans , and transfer case and flush the fluids !
Be back in like an hour .. not up for the 360p
How about 144p?
360 is normal for me
It's still at 360
I see some comments about flushing the trans.... NEVER flush a GM transmission. You'll move and remove stuff that's best left alone. As far as the shifting issue going away, was probably just moisture in the pigtail connection where the trans and truck join together electrically on the transmission pan rail.
How many likes would it take for you to take your McLaren into the mud hole😂
He goes and buys a Pontiac Grand am McLaren
When you take the carpet out you should do some sort of rubber lining on the floor to prevent any further water/mold damaging anything and you should totally seal it up and seal up all the electronics.
