| Description of the problem | While driving the truck normally, in the morning, i came to a stop at a stoplight. Once the light turned green i pressed the pedal to accelerate and the truck was slow to respond (as if it was in a higher gear to start) once it was up to about 20mph it drove decent enough. I came to another stop and it happened again, same as before, and the check engine light came on. I was stopping at a school to drop kids off and turned into a spot and turned off the truck. It would not turn back on when attempted. I checked the diagnostic codes and came up with u1000, u1001, p0717. I had to tow it away from the parking lot a couple days later. Once i was able to check the truck out, i found a substantial amount of transmission fluid (frothed) in the coolant. I read that this is due to the internal radiator transmission cooler failing and mixing the coolant with the transmission fluid. I also found that the reason for the truck not starting was that the 10a fuse for the a/t ecu blew. I have replaced the radiator, flushed the cooling system, and am about to take a sample of the transmission fluid to see if there is coolant in the transmission before i talk to a repair facility about repairing the transmission. |
