 Both (upper and lower) transmission cooler lines leaking. dealer advised both lines needed replacement at cost of $988.88, and not covered by the power train warranty. appears to be leaking from crimp area on both lines. independent transmission shop advised stock (gm) cooler lines cannot handle the pressure of the allison transmission. recommended replacement with aftermarket braided lines.

 I have a 2008 chevrolet silverado crew cab that makes clanking sound when the transmission shifts into third gear. i went to the local dealership and was told that this is normal for this truck. the truck has less than 16,000 miles on it. the mechanic told me that he was surprised that it had not started making this noise sooner. it has become progressively louder and can be heard with the windows down. coincidentally, this is the same sound the truck started making a few months ago when i would take off at a stoplight/stop sign. i could feel a pause and then it would clank and start to move. again this can be heard with the windows down. i went to the dealership at that time and was told this is normal operation. now the truck clanks when taking off from a stop and when it shifts into third gear. *tr

 Tl* the contact owns a 2008 chevrolet silverado. while idling at a stop sign he heard a thumping sound from under the vehicle. simultaneously the vehicle began to jerk forward. the vehicle was taken to the dealership and he was informed that the transmission needed to be lubricated. the current and failure mileages were 20000.
