Happy New Year (I hope).
On the Friday before Christmas I got a message “4 wheel drive system currently not available “ along with the lit engine symbol. Putting it in gear resulted in a substantial clunk/shudder. Forward seemed to be limited to 3rd or 4th gear (50 mph @ about 2k rpm).
Given the holidays, it was nearly 2 weeks to get an appointment at my dealer (which was better than mid January at another dealer).
I think my profile is correct but just in case... 2015 3500 crew cab, short bed, 4x4, Longhorn, Cummins, Aisin.
At end of day after dropping it off, they asked permission for 2hrs diagnostic time to drop the transmission pan. They did say that if it was determined it was a transmission failure, the repair would be covered by the drivetrain warranty and they would not charge the 2hrs.
After lunch the next day, Friday the 4th, I dropped by to see what they had found - I find talking face to face better than the phone.
They diagnosed it as the valve body assembly and were ordering one. Should be here Tuesday. Sigh.
At least this counts as transmission service.
Anyway, I hope it gets fixed soon. I need to move my excavator to the welding shop next Thursday.
