Was very surprised when travelling up a slight incline the tranny let loose. No forward, no reverse, stuck on the hill on a HOT day with wife and two dogs in the truck. Luckily the engine still ran, so AC was available. I am fairly religious about maintaining my vehicles, and was genuinely surprised when this broke. My 93 Suburban was sold with 190K trouble free miles.
All things considered however, I was lucky that it died only a mile from home and we had another (Dodge) truck to use to continue our trip. Another 200 yards and we would have been on 25 miles of two lane, no shoulder blacktop ahead of us and nowhere near our pickup... So.. All things considered, I am lucky to have broken down where we did and not on the rolling mountains in West By God Virginia!.
The AAA tow truck driver recommended a local transmission shop and it's there now being evaluated, so the wallet hit hasn't been revealed just yet. Reading now that some are on their 2nd -4th-5th transmission does not give me warm fuzzies about what lies ahead for this truck as my last Suburban was so darned reliable.
Wish us luck!
