chevrolets truck division is GMC more commonly known by the nickname "JIMMY"

Btw thats completely wrong. GMC is the flagship of GM (General motors).

They only manufacture trucks. The GMC SUV is the Jimmy (And now the Envoy is added on). Chevrolet is a seperate company but a part of GM. Their SUV is the Trail Blazer (ie. Blazer). Ever notice how an S10 and a Sonoma are pretty much identical. They are both S Frames and GM owns the rights or whatever to the S Frame and they share designs. Thats my explaination to the best of my abilities, hope that cleared some stuff up.

i been building racing and making a living off chevys for almost 30 years. you are saying the same thing i said just differntly, and of course ive noticed the gmc`s are same as the chevys. i own a 98 gmc 1 ton crew cab 6.5 turbo diesel and every part on it will exchange with the chevy siverado such as doors and fenders cabs bed etc, sure chevrolet makes trucks but gmc is known as there truck division it says so on a sticker in my glove box lol. i also own a 70 gmc 3/4 ton two wheel drive, a 73 chevy 3/4 ton 2 wheel drive, three 91 1ton chevy crew cabs, an 89 1 ton chevy crewcab dually. several crewcabs that i have put on ZF planetary axles with front and rear steer running on 68 inch tractor tires for gettin around the alaskan bush. a 2002 chevy 1ton dually with the 496 CI bigblock and allison automatic, a 72 gmc monster truck that i used to tour with gravedigger and undertaker and the boys. and a camaro that busts off 190 mph in the 1/4 mile with an all aluminum 540 CI big block chevrolet blown on alcohol. i built it from the ground up same as the monster truck and the bush 4x4`s and many restorations for customers as i own a driveline/machine shop and custom build/restore chevrolets. mostly 1 ton crew cabs i buy 10 or so at a time from british petroleum and arco at there auctions. they come off the north slope of prudohe bays oilfields. i take em and yard out the diesels build my own wiring harnesses to convert em back over to gasoline instead of choppin up the stock harness, put 425 horse big blocks in em lift em 8 inchs put aluminum wheels and 38`s on em repaint em redo the interiors and make good money sellin em to the general public. i also build my own lift kits from scratch. now im not gonna say your wrong cuz like i said i think we said the same thing basicly, i was just trying to make it so jack could understand easy enuff, and what you said is true but gmc is chevrolets truck division make no mistake about that. reason i went on with all this babble was to show my credentials as i take pride in knowin chevrolet front to back inside and out. here is a link with pics of my efforts, my race cars, my shop, monster trucks, the bush 4x4`s, and almost every truck i listed above.

Nah, the way you explained it didn't make any sense to me really so I just re-explained it. Nice collection you have there heh. Anyways, sorry if you took it the wrong way.

I said it was just a shot in the dark. You might try backing the TV cable off a notch or two. Make a referance mark before you move it and don't go too far.

I'll second that especially if it revs high before shifting. You will find this cable on the throttle lever near the throttle body. There may be several cabless here. You are looking for the one that goes to the trans. It will have a button that takes some pressure to move. When you press the button, push the cable towards the button, make only small adjustments - like about 1/8" at a time. This will lower the line pressure to the clutches and can cause you to burn up the trans if the adjustment is not done properly - If the trans starts shifting way early and or slipping into gear set it back!

It is possible that when the rebuild was done the builder modified the valve body to make the unit shift harder.

nah man its all good no offense taken and ty glad you liked my junk

My friend had a Blazer like that and his tranny endend up dying. He replaced the tranny and fit an oil cooler on it. Those suvs seem to run better with cooler oil temps. Put an oil cooler on it and see what it does. Trust me, it won't be a waste of money.

One of my friends had same problem in a similar vehicle and it turned out to be sensor which means the whole tranny had to be yanked.

WELL FOR STARTERS DID YOU GET A WARRANTY WITH THE TRANNY?? MOST TRANS COME WITH ATLEAST 12 MONTH 12K WARRANTY BECAUSE IT SOUND LIKE YOU HAVE A STICKING SHIFT SOLANOID OR THE 2-3 CLUTCH PACK IS BAD IF YOU HAD A PLUGGED FUEL FILTER OR CAT. IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST WITH OUT FULL THROTTLE
