Chevy Colorado 2016 z71 4x4 with dealer installed 5.5 BDS lift kit and 33x 12.5 x 20 wheels with 14610 miles. Truck was sold as a conversion truck. I had complete transmission failure which left me stranded last week. No previous symptoms were noted before this occurred.

This is what happened...

I was driving normally to a friends house. Within the first mile the truck started to shift weird. I checked my transmission temp and it was getting very hot very quickly from 170 to 300 in minutes. The rpms where high and the speed was slow. I drove it about another mile and parked it. The temperature was marking over 300 degrees F when I stopped. It is under warranty and the dealer will fix it but they don't even know how to open the transmission; they had to order the special part to drop transmission first. The mechanic not knowing what the problem actually is, thinks it my be due to the lift and tires. Others think it could be a stuck valve. I have heard from other people that the dealer no longer offers warranty on colorados after the truck has been lifted and tires altered. I hope this problem does not happen in another 14,000 miles. email me robertbeknown@gmail.com if you are experiencing this issues as well.

thanks, BOB
